When should you use each?
Productboard is a good fit when…
- You are a product team that needs internal prioritization and planning
- You pipe feedback from many sources into one product backlog (unlimited notes on Business)
- You mostly need an internal roadmap, with a customer portal as a secondary output
- You want an AI agent for product managers: Spark, with AI credits on every plan including Free
Convot wins when…
- You want a public roadmap customers vote on, not an internal planning tool
- You want a roadmap and changelog per app, inside the same widget as your support
- You run more than one app and want one inbox and one customer record across them; on Shopify apps you also see the merchant's plan and MRR beside the conversation
- You want voting bundled with chat, a help center, status page and scheduling, on one bill priced by app count
