Ship faster with Upvoted: Slack, Zapier, and the Embeddable Widget

Hey there,

We’ve been busy making Upvoted the simplest way to collect, prioritize, and communicate product feedback. Here are three powerful upgrades, plus a limited Lifetime Deal to lock in massive value.

What’s new

  • Slack integration (real‑time updates where your team works) Get rich notifications for new feature requests, comments, and status changes. Messages include author attribution, clean HTML-to-text formatting, and optional feature images for high‑signal context.

  • Zapier integration (connect to 5,000+ apps) Automate your workflows end-to-end. Triggers for new features, comments, and status changes. Actions to create features from any tool. Post to support desks, create Jira/GitHub issues, update spreadsheets, and more — no code required.

  • Embeddable Widget & Board (capture feedback anywhere) Drop a single script to add a beautiful request widget to your app or website — or embed the full board with statuses, upvotes, and comments. Dark mode supported, flexible config (target element, height, visible statuses), and optional request/comment/upvote actions.

What's best

  • Unlimited boards to organize feedback by product, team, or audience
  • Unlimited feature requests so nothing gets left behind
  • Unlimited collaborators for your whole team (PMs, Support, Success, Eng)
  • Public or private boards to control visibility by audience
  • Flexible statuses and voting to surface the most impactful work
  • Tags to categorize requests and segment insights at a glance
  • Releases to announce what shipped and close the loop with customers
  • Easy API to fetch features, comments, and votes programmatically (plus webhooks)

Analytics & insights

  • Stats dashboard with month‑over‑month trends for features, votes, and comments
  • Top statuses and activity to see where work is happening
  • Historical charts to visualize engagement over the last 12 months
  • Admin‑only access so sensitive metrics stay private

Why teams choose Upvoted

  • One source of truth for requests, votes, comments, and roadmap status
  • Clear customer context with author info and deep links to features
  • Fast setup — minutes to integrate, not days
  • Flexible embeds & automations that fit your stack

  • Pay once, use forever — no recurring fees
  • All core features included — Slack, Zapier, widget/board embeds, and more

The Best Tools for Upvoting (and Why Upvoted Should Be Your First Stop)

Let’s talk feature upvoting. You’ve got feedback flying in from every direction. Emails, Slack, Twitter DMs, random Notion docs... it's a mess. What you actually need is a clean, simple way to gather ideas, let your users vote on what they care about, and actually ship stuff people want. That is where upvoting tools come in.

Here’s a breakdown of the best options out there. We’re starting with Upvoted because it deserves that top spot.


1. Upvoted: The Feedback Board That Doesn’t Suck

Obviously I’m a little biased here, but seriously. Upvoted is not just another voting board. It is built to be useful for real teams and real users. You can spin up public or private boards in seconds, drop a widget anywhere on your site, and just like that, you're collecting feedback that actually means something.

What makes it great:

  • You collect smart feedback. Users can upvote, comment, and request features all in one spot.
  • You build with purpose. Turn feedback into a visual roadmap that tracks progress from "proposed" to "published."
  • You choose your visibility. Go public to get the community involved or stay private for internal team planning.
  • You embed it anywhere. One line of code and you are good to go. No hassle, no dev time wasted.
  • You keep everyone aligned. From stakeholders to engineers, everyone stays in the loop.

Pricing options:

  • Standard plan is $15.20 per month
  • Lifetime deal is $232 one-time. No recurring fees, ever.

If spreadsheets are your current "feedback system," trust me, it’s time for an upgrade.

2. Canny: The OG With Enterprise Vibes

Canny has been around for a while and it shows. It is polished, feature-packed, and integrates with all the big tools. Enterprise teams love it, but it can feel like overkill if you are running a lean operation.

Pros:

  • It integrates with tools like Intercom, Slack, and Jira
  • Great choice for larger teams with big budgets

Cons:

  • Gets expensive fast if you scale up
  • Less flexibility for doing things your own way

3. Nolt: Super Clean and Straightforward

Nolt is a go-to for indie makers and small startups. It is simple and it works. No fluff.

Why people love it:

  • Setup is ridiculously fast
  • Public roadmaps look sleek and polished

Limitations to keep in mind:

  • Workflow options are limited
  • Private boards are locked behind higher tiers

4. Sleekplan: Feedback, Surveys, and Changelog All in One

Sleekplan goes beyond just upvoting. It adds surveys, changelogs, and a bunch of other feedback tools. It is like a Swiss Army knife for product teams.

Good for:

  • Teams that want a complete feedback suite
  • Creating a full feedback loop, from suggestion to release

Not so good for:

  • Simple needs. If you only want upvotes and a roadmap, it might be overkill
  • The interface takes a bit of getting used to

If you want a modern, clean, and user-friendly way to collect feedback, prioritize features, and build a roadmap that people actually follow, go with Upvoted. It is straightforward, flexible, and priced in a way that makes sense.

Give it a try. Launch a board, share it with your users, and start making data-backed product decisions right away.
