The self-hosted Featurebase alternative
Votera — Your own feedback board, public roadmap, and changelog — unlimited voters, no per-user monthly bill. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Featurebase every month.
Stop renting Featurebase
3 months of Featurebase equals this one-time price.
Assumption: 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 with you
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 granular custom admin roles for a larger team, stay with Featurebase — Votera ships with one admin account at install, and more team members are added directly in the database. Full honest limitations are on the 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 a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Votera vs Featurebase comparison.
