$59 once · self-hosted · your data on your server

3 months of Featurebase costs what Votera costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: Per-seat - the bill multiplies with team size, not usage. Every tier is priced 'Billed yearly'; the page shows no monthly rate. A whitelabel add-on at $69/mo was on this page on 2026-07-21 and is not on it on 2026-09-03, so the figure was dropped rather than carried. Votera is one payment for any team.

How Featurebase pricing grows

Featurebase charges per seat per month across its paid tiers, plus a per-resolution fee for AI-handled support tickets, billed yearly.

What Featurebase does that we don't

Featurebase bundles a full helpdesk/support-ticketing platform with the feedback and roadmap tools in one subscription.

Who should stay with Featurebase

If you need custom admin roles for a larger team, stay with Featurebase — Votera has fixed roles, and your team joins by single-use invitation link.

What Votera deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Featurebase.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Featurebase's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Votera vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Featurebase.

How is this different from Canny or Featurebase?

Same three things — feedback board, roadmap, changelog — but you host it and pay once. Canny's price rises with tracked users and Featurebase's with admin seats, so the cost grows as your roadmap or your team does. Votera has no per-user fee and no monthly bill.

Do voters need to create accounts?

No. Voting works with an anonymous per-browser key, so there is no signup wall; you can optionally require an email to post or comment.

Will it run on my hosting?

Yes — PHP 8.1+ with PDO, MySQL or SQLite, on standard shared hosting or any VPS. Two-minute web installer, no Node, no build step.

Can I put the board inside my own app?

Yes — copy the one-line embed snippet from Settings and paste it anywhere; it drops in as a widget.
