## Why teams choose FeatureOS over Userback

- **Changelog and knowledge base included**: We found no changelog or knowledge base product on Userback's site. FeatureOS includes both, so you can announce what shipped and host docs in the same tool.
- **Feature voting without an add-on**: Userback's Feature Portal is a paid add-on on Team (from $31/month billed annually) and included from Business ($89/month billed annually). FeatureOS boards and roadmap are in every plan.
- **Surveys on the first plan**: Userback User Surveys start on Business. FeatureOS includes forms and surveys on Starter.

## Where Userback shines

- **Visual bug reports**: Annotated screenshots and video from a widget or browser extension. Business and above add console logs, network requests and custom data for developers.
- **Session replay tied to feedback**: Business attaches session replays to feedback; Business Plus can record all sessions.
- **A free plan**: Free forever for 2 seats and 2 sites, with feedback kept for 7 days.

## Choose Userback if you...

- Your main job is QA and bug reporting
- You want session replays attached to feedback
- Developers need console logs with every report
- A 2-seat free plan is enough for now

## Choose FeatureOS if you...

- Your main job is collecting and prioritizing feature requests
- You want a public changelog to close the loop
- You want a knowledge base in the same tool
- You want boards and surveys without add-ons
