Productus vs UserVoice
UserVoice sells revenue-linked feedback through a sales call, with a four-to-six-week launch by its own page (as of 26 September 2026). Productus puts revenue on every theme for $79 a month, self-serve, with the match rate beside it, and freezes a baseline the day you ship.
Revenue on every theme from $79/mo, with closed-loop validation at the same price. Self-serve, no demo, no annual contract.
At a glance
The short version
Price
A public price against a sales call
UserVoice publishes no price and sells through a demo (as of 26 September 2026). Productus Growth is $79/mo, a published price; billing opens in early 2027.
Access
Minutes, not weeks
UserVoice starts with a demo call, then a 30-day trial, then a launch most teams finish in four to six weeks, by UserVoice's own page (as of 26 September 2026). Productus has self-serve signup with a free plan: paste or upload feedback and see your first themes in minutes.
Intelligence
The dollar, with its match rate
UserVoice attaches account revenue to ideas and AI themes and sells it through a demo, with no public price (as of 26 September 2026). Productus shows the paying revenue on every theme as a floor, with the match rate and the unmatched share beside every dollar, at a published price.
The switching moment
Revenue-linked feedback should not need a sales call
UserVoice pioneered the public feature voting portal. Its route to revenue-linked feedback runs through a demo, a trial and a guided launch (as of 26 September 2026).
Sales-led pricing for a small-team need
Every founder on Stripe already has revenue data. Productus takes it from a CSV or manual entry (Stripe sync is on the roadmap) at $79/mo, no demo.
Sales-led by design
A demo, a 30-day trial, then a launch UserVoice itself puts at four to six weeks (as of 26 September 2026). Productus is a free workspace and a first theme in minutes.
Pricing
A published price vs. a sales call
UserVoice does not publish a price: its plans scale with feedback volume, tools and integrations, and you reach one through a demo (as of 26 September 2026). Productus charges a flat rate per plan and publishes every price in the pricing section.
| Plan | Productus | UserVoice |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0, 500 items in your first week, then 100/mo, 500 stored | None; a 30-day trial workspace after a demo |
| Growth | $79/mo, up to 10 seats | Not published |
| How you buy | Self-serve signup, no card for the free plan | Through a demo with UserVoice's team |
| Time to launch | Minutes: paste or upload feedback | Most teams launch in 4-6 weeks (UserVoice's own page) |
| Billing | Monthly or annual; billing opens in early 2027 | Not published |
| Revenue on feedback | On every AI theme, across every source, from a CSV, manual entry or an override; match rate and unmatched share beside every dollar | On ideas and AI themes, from CRM data, a CSV, the API or the widget's identify call; sold through a demo |
| Closed-loop validation | Baseline frozen the day you ship, then a before-and-after report against it | Not listed |
| Pricing model | Flat rate per plan | Feedback volume, tools and integrations, never by seat |
Example: For a small product team, Productus Growth is $79/mo ($790 a year billed annually), with revenue on every theme, the match rate shown, and a frozen baseline the day you ship with a before-and-after report against it. UserVoice publishes no price; its route is a demo, a 30-day trial and, by its own page, four to six weeks to launch (as of 26 September 2026).
Productus Starter, $29 a month: one seat, 2,000 items a month, 3 sources. Available in the app once billing opens.

The difference
What Productus does differently
01
Revenue on every theme, with the match rate shown
Both Productus and UserVoice connect feedback to revenue. UserVoice attaches account revenue to ideas and AI themes from CRM data, a CSV, its API or the widget's identify call, set up with its team after a demo (as of 26 September 2026). Productus takes revenue from a CSV or manual entry (Stripe sync is on the roadmap) and sums the current ARR of the paying customers behind each theme as an exposure floor. For example: at least $12K of paying-customer ARR sits on this theme, 7 of 9 people matched to a paying customer. It is a triage lens, never a loss prediction.
02
AI themes on both sides, a public price on ours
UserVoice ships AI themes and AI idea summaries, with an MCP coming soon (beta sign-up), and sells them through a demo with no public price (as of 26 September 2026). Productus puts the dollar on every theme, in large type, with the match rate and the unmatched share beside it, and publishes its price: Growth is $79/mo list.
03
A baseline frozen the day you ship
When you mark a theme resolved, Productus freezes a baseline snapshot of it. The before-and-after report compares the weeks after against that baseline; a churn check on the people who complained is coming next. UserVoice notifies supporters when an idea ships; it does not list a before-and-after measurement (as of 26 September 2026).
04
Self-serve in minutes vs. a four-to-six-week launch
UserVoice starts with a demo call and a 30-day trial workspace; by its own page, most teams launch in 4-6 weeks, with 1-2 weeks of technical setup (as of 26 September 2026). Productus has a free plan with self-serve signup: paste or upload feedback and see AI-clustered themes in minutes. No sales call, no demo booking.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does UserVoice cost?
UserVoice does not publish prices. Its plans scale with feedback volume, the tools you use and the integrations you connect, never by seat, and they are sold through a demo; by UserVoice's own page, most teams launch in four to six weeks (as of 26 September 2026). Productus puts revenue on every theme at $79 a month, self-serve.
Does Productus offer the same revenue attribution as UserVoice?
Both connect feedback to revenue data, so you can see which themes carry the most paying revenue. UserVoice attaches account revenue to ideas and AI themes from CRM data, a CSV, its API or the widget's identify call, set up with its team after a demo. Productus takes revenue from a CSV or manual entry (Stripe sync is on the roadmap), puts it on every AI theme, and shows the match rate and the unmatched share beside every dollar. On top of that, Productus freezes a baseline the day you ship and measures the before and after against it. UserVoice does not list a before-and-after measurement (as of 26 September 2026).
Is UserVoice better for anything?
Yes. UserVoice has mature enterprise features, pricing that never scales by seat (useful for very large teams), a dedicated CSM to guide onboarding, and a long track record with enterprise customers (as of 26 September 2026). If you're a large company with complex compliance requirements and a product operations team, UserVoice may be worth it. For a small team, the sales-led contract is hard to justify.
What about UserVoice's voting portal?
UserVoice pioneered the public feature voting portal, and its portal is mature and well tested. Productus does not run a public voting board. Its job is what happens after feedback is collected: AI themes, the paying revenue behind each one with its match rate, and a baseline frozen the day you ship. If a public voting board is your primary need, a board tool like UserVoice is a better fit. If you need to know which themes carry the most paying revenue, as a floor over matched customers, Productus is built for that.
Can I try Productus before committing?
Yes. Productus has a free plan (no card) and self-serve signup: paste or upload feedback and see AI themes in minutes. UserVoice starts with a demo call, then a 30-day trial workspace (as of 26 September 2026). We believe in showing value first.
