CrowdStack vs Featurebase

Featurebase started as a feedback board and has grown into a help desk, help centre and changelog with per-resolution AI. CrowdStack covers the same ground and adds a CRM, Stripe revenue, issues and docs, for one flat price. Here is how they line up, including where Featurebase still wins.

Why teams pick CrowdStack

The CRM and the revenue are in the same tool

Featurebase knows who submitted a request. CrowdStack knows what they pay: connect Stripe and each request, ticket and contact shows the plan and MRR behind it, and deals sit beside them.

SLAs and automations on every seat

Featurebase holds SLAs, workflows and the API for Professional at $75 a seat. CrowdStack is £28 a user a month with all of them in the one plan.

AI credits, not a per-resolution meter

Every user adds 500 AI credits a month to a shared pool, covering knowledge-grounded replies, draft assist and portal AI. Featurebase charges $0.49 every time its agent resolves a conversation, on top of the seat.

Issues and docs close the loop

Connect a request to the issues that will ship it, and keep the internal wiki beside the public help centre, all linked with @mentions. Featurebase stops at the roadmap.

Based on Featurebase's published feature lists in August 2026. “Partly” means the feature exists but is limited to a higher tier, an add-on, or a metered credit. Spotted a mistake? Email support@crowdstack.org and we will correct it.

Where Featurebase is the better choice

We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us. Stay on Featurebase if you want a changelog and in-app widget alongside the board, live chat in your product, a custom domain, or integrations with Slack, Jira, Linear and the CRM you already run. It is a strong feedback-first product with a capable help desk attached. CrowdStack is for teams who want the CRM, the Stripe numbers, the issues and the docs in the same tool as the board and the inbox, with SLAs and AI on every seat rather than by tier and by resolution.

What is included

Common questions

Is CrowdStack a Featurebase alternative?

Yes, and the overlap is larger than with most tools. CrowdStack has the feedback board, roadmap, shared inbox, knowledge base, SLAs, automations, CSAT and knowledge-grounded AI, and adds a CRM with deals, Stripe revenue, an issue tracker and a wiki. It does not have a changelog, an in-app widget, live chat or a custom domain for the board.

How does the price compare for a team of five?

Five users on CrowdStack cost £140 a month at the full rate, with every product and 2500 pooled AI credits included. Five seats on Featurebase Growth list at $185 a month, or $375 on Professional, the first tier with SLAs and the API, before Fibi at $0.49 per resolution.

Can I import my feedback from Featurebase?

Posts export from Featurebase as CSV and import as requests with title, details, status and vote count. Voter identities come across where the email matches a contact. Email us at support@crowdstack.org before you switch and we will walk through the mapping, and talk through what to do with conversation history.

What does Featurebase have that CrowdStack does not?

A changelog, an in-app widget and live chat, a custom domain, user segmentation, and integrations with Slack, Jira, Linear, Intercom, HubSpot and Salesforce. If your feedback board needs to plug into a stack of other tools, Featurebase is the better fit today.
