## Why teams choose FeatureOS over Productboard

- **The Price Gap Is Hard to Ignore**: At $59-$75 per maker per month on Productboard Pro, a 10-person team pays $7,080/year. That same team on FeatureOS Growth? $1,200/year. And we include AI in the plan, while Productboard tacks on $20/maker/month extra for that.
- **You Ship a Feature. Then What?**: Productboard doesn't have a changelog. Or a knowledge base. Or surveys. So you collect feedback, plan the roadmap, ship the feature... and then you need another tool to actually tell people about it.
- **SSO Shouldn't Cost $300/seat**: Productboard gates SSO behind their Enterprise tier. That's $300-400 per maker per month. For a security feature. We put SSO on our $120/month Growth plan.
- **Setup That Doesn't Need a PM Sprint**: The most common Productboard complaint on G2? Complexity. Teams burn weeks just configuring the data model before anyone submits a single piece of feedback. FeatureOS is the kind of tool you set up over lunch.
- **We'll Move Your Data Over**: Nobody wants to manually export and re-import thousands of feedback items. If you're coming from Productboard, just ping our team and we'll handle the migration.

## Where Productboard shines

- **Prioritization engine**: Their prioritization engine is genuinely good. You can segment feedback by ARR, company size, or churn risk and run RICE scoring out of the box.
- **Flexible roadmap views**: Audience-specific roadmap views help PMs communicate direction clearly to engineering, executives, and customers.

## Choose Productboard if you...

- Prioritization by revenue segment or churn risk is a must-have
- You have a dedicated product ops team to manage the tool
- Budget isn't the deciding factor
- You don't need changelog, docs, or surveys baked in
- You want depth in one area more than coverage across the board

## Choose FeatureOS if you...

- You'd rather have one tool than stitch together three or four
- You want to know exactly what you'll pay next month
- Telling users "we shipped your request" matters to you
- SSO shouldn't require an enterprise contract
- You'd rather be collecting feedback today than configuring a tool for two weeks

## Migration

Nobody wants to manually export and re-import thousands of feedback items. If you're coming from Productboard, just ping our team and we'll handle the migration. Done it plenty of times.
