One flat price

Your free users shouldn't raise your feedback bill.

A hosted board. People post ideas and vote. You set a status. Voters get an email when it ships. The price does not move.

Target ship date: . The pre-order button is a placeholder from config, not a live checkout. Read the terms.

Sample board. The requests and vote counts are examples of the interface, not live data and not results. With motion on, the counts run up and the rows slide into vote order.

The bill follows the audience.

Many feedback tools charge by tracked users. A free audience can land on that invoice.

A tracked user is a person the tool can identify. An account. A signed-in visitor. Someone who opened the board. Vendors do not share one rule. The monthly bill follows how many people the tool can see.

Plans in this category often have a cap. Past the cap, the price goes up. People who do not pay you are usually in the count. A launch or a free tier can move the bill while your team, and your number of boards, stay the same.

Audience size and the feedback operation are different things. More free upvotes do not make the operation larger. They do make the invoice larger, if the vendor prices on tracked users.

FlatVote prices the operation. Starter is $19 a month for 1 board and unlimited voters. Team is $49 a month for 5 boards, plus SSO, a custom domain, and unlimited admins. Annual billing is ten months' price for twelve: two months free. There is no free plan.

Tracked user
A person the feedback tool can identify. The exact rule varies. Free accounts are often included.
What FlatVote bills
The plan. 1 board, or 5. Not the number of voters.
What stays
People post, vote, and get an email when a request ships. The voter meter is the part that goes away.

How it works

Four steps.

Email

Requests live on the board. You decide what to build. The people who asked hear when it ships.

Feature boardSample
  1. 12 votesDark modeShipped
  2. 9 votesCSV exportPlanned

Sample. Scrolling this section posts a request, runs the votes up, then sets the status to Shipped. Not live data.

01

Embed

Put the board on a page you already have, or send a link. One place, instead of a spreadsheet, a chat channel, and the support inbox.

02

Vote

A post is the request in that person's words. A vote means someone else wants it too. It is a signal, not an order to build whatever is on top.

03

Status

You set the list. A useful set is open, planned, building, shipped, and declined. The status is the answer, so people do not have to ask twice.

04

Email

When you mark a request shipped, FlatVote emails the people who voted. You do not export the list and write that note by hand.

Flat price.

Two plans. Unlimited voters on both. US dollars. Annual billing is two months free: you pay for ten. No free plan.

Starter

$19 a month

or $190 a year, two months free

  • 1 board
  • Unlimited voters
  • Statuses you set
  • An automatic email to voters when a request ships
  • CSV import
  • Canny API import

Team

$49 a month

or $490 a year, two months free

  • 5 boards
  • Unlimited voters
  • SSO
  • Custom domain
  • Unlimited admins
  • Statuses you set
  • An automatic email to voters when a request ships
  • CSV import
  • Canny API import

SSO, a custom domain, and unlimited admins are part of Team. A Starter admin cap is not listed, because one is not set. Voters are unlimited on both plans.

Bring the old list.

Do not retype a board to switch tools. Do not keep a tracked-user bill running while you copy posts by hand.

CSV

A spreadsheet export, or rows from another tool. The column layout will be documented before the ship date. It is not on this site yet.

Canny API

If the list already lives in Canny, import it through the Canny API. History moves with you, instead of staying behind as a reason to keep the old bill.

Before launch.

Export, refunds, and the ship date. If a detail is not settled, the answer says so.

Can I export my data?

Yes. You can export ideas, the status of each idea, vote counts, and the voters attached to each idea. The export is a file you can open in a spreadsheet. Export is included so a board is not stuck in FlatVote.

The exact columns will be documented before the ship date. They are not published on this site yet.

What is the refund policy?

The Founding Team pre-order is $49 for the first month. That charge is fully refundable before launch. It is also fully refundable within 30 days after launch. You do not have to give a reason.

What if you miss the ship date?

If FlatVote has not shipped by March 31, 2027, the Founding Team charge is refunded automatically. You do not need to request it.

When will it ship?

The target ship date is March 31, 2027. That date comes from the site config. If it changes, this page changes with it. Missing the date triggers the automatic refund described above.

What does the 12-month price lock mean?

The Founding Team rate is $49 a month, and it stays $49 a month for 12 months. It does not step up during that year. This is the Team price, locked. It is not a cheaper plan.

Is there a free plan?

No. Starter is $19 a month. Team is $49 a month. There is no free plan.

Do more voters change the price?

No. Starter and Team both include unlimited voters. The monthly price does not change when more people post or vote.

What is the difference between Starter and Team?

Starter is $19 a month for 1 board and unlimited voters. Team is $49 a month for 5 boards and unlimited voters, and it adds SSO, a custom domain, and unlimited admins.

Both plans include statuses, the shipped email, CSV import, and Canny API import. A Starter admin cap is not listed here, because one is not set. There is no free plan.

How does annual billing work?

Annual billing costs the same as ten months. The other two months are free. Starter is $190 a year. Team is $490 a year.

How does the shipped email work?

When you mark a request shipped, FlatVote emails the people who voted for it and tells them it shipped. The email is that notice. It is not a newsletter signup.

Can I import from a spreadsheet or from Canny?

Yes. You can import a CSV, and you can import from the Canny API. Both are there so an existing list can move onto the board without being retyped.

Pre-order

Founding Team.

The Team plan, paid ahead of launch. First month $49. That rate stays $49 a month for 12 months. The Team price, locked. Not a cheaper plan.

  • Fully refundable before launch.
  • Fully refundable within 30 days after launch. No reason required.
  • Refunded automatically if FlatVote has not shipped by .

No checkout on this site. The button goes to the pre-order URL in config.

First month

$49

Then $49 a month for 12 months. 5 boards, unlimited voters, SSO, a custom domain, unlimited admins.

Waitlist.

A note when the board is available. Not a pre-order.

The form posts to the waitlist endpoint in the site config. This build does not store the address and does not connect a mailing service. Submitting it leaves this site.
