Introducing FeatureVote: The Flat-Priced Canny Alternative

Most SaaS tools punish you for growing. The more users you get, the higher your bill. Canny — the dominant feature voting tool — starts at $79/mo and prices by tracked users. That means the moment your product takes off, your tooling bill spikes.
FeatureVote is the alternative I built for founders and indie developers who just need the core thing: a place for users to suggest features, vote on them, and see what's coming.
No per-user pricing. No enterprise tiers. Flat $19/mo for everything.
What it does
You create a board — a public page where your users can:
- Submit feature requests
- Upvote ideas they care about
- See status updates as you move things through (Open → Planned → In Progress → Done)
You get a clean dashboard showing the highest-voted requests, so you always know what to build next. No more guessing. No more "I just shipped something nobody wanted" moments.
The public board is shareable — a link like featurevote.bootstrapquant.com/b/your-product. Drop it in your app footer, your docs, your Discord. Users don't need to sign up to vote.
Why not just use Canny?
Canny is well-built but it's designed for companies with real budget. $79/mo to start, pricing that scales with tracked users, and a feature set aimed at product teams with multiple stakeholders and complex workflows.
If you're a solo dev or small team, you're paying for a lot of overhead you'll never use.
FeatureVote is the opposite: minimal surface area, fast setup (30 seconds to your first board), and a price that doesn't change as you grow.
The stack
Same stack as everything else in the portfolio: Next.js 15, Supabase, Stripe, Tailwind v4, deployed on Vercel. Built in a weekend. Fully live, accepting real payments.
