Alternatives to Fider
Open source feature voting board
Fider ranks #8 of 8 in Product feedback boards, with an Alt Score of 51. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, open source with paid hosting from $25/month and available on Linux and Web. 7 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Product managers, customer success teams, and small-to-midsize software companies (SaaS, mobile apps, games) who want a structured way to collect and prioritize user feedback instead of relying on scattered emails and chat threads.
A centralized, brandable feedback board where users submit and discuss ideas and feature requests. Community voting surfaces what matters most, giving teams a prioritized view of customer demand. Fider is open-source and self-hostable (Docker/Heroku, Postgres-backed), with a hosted SaaS option as an alternative. It supports custom domains, multiple languages, and admin tools for status tracking and moderation.
An admin sets up a board and shares the link with customers; customers post feedback and vote on and discuss existing posts. Admins review the ranked list, respond, and update each post's status (e.g., planned, in progress, done) to close the loop with users.
