A feature-voting alternative to
Instabug, built for what users want
Instabug (now Luciq) is a bug, crash and performance SDK — great for finding what's broken. Features.Vote is built for the other half: a native feature-voting board, public roadmap and changelog for iOS, iPadOS & macOS — from $9/mo, with a free plan.
⚡ 2-min setup + Free plan · zero-signup voting

Different tools for different jobs
Instabug (now Luciq) and Features.Vote are often compared, but they solve opposite problems. One finds what's broken; the other decides what to build next.
- Bug reporting (shake-to-report)
- Crash reporting & diagnostics
- Performance monitoring (APM)
- Session replay
- In-app surveys & an in-app ideas module
Engineering observability — catching what's broken.
- Feature voting board (native + web)
- Public product roadmap
- Changelog that notifies voters
- Zero-signup voting, revenue-weighted
- Native Swift SDK for iOS, iPadOS & macOS
Product feedback — deciding what to build next.
Luciq does include an in-app ideas module, but it isn't a public voting board, roadmap or changelog. For those, see the iOS & macOS SDK.
The Honest Take
Instabug/Luciq is a strong product in its category. Here's where each tool genuinely wins — no spin.
Feature voting & roadmap
A purpose-built public voting board, roadmap and changelog — not a bundled in-app module.
Price & free plan
Flat from $9/mo with a free tier. Luciq is enterprise, sales-only pricing.
No voter signup
Users vote without an account — far more feedback, especially on mobile.
Closes the loop
Changelog notifies the exact voters when their requested feature ships.
Bug & crash reporting
Shake-to-report with screenshots, logs and full crash diagnostics. This is its core strength.
Performance & observability
APM, session replay and AI-assisted issue resolution for mobile engineering teams.
Enterprise mobile QA
Battle-tested at large apps (DoorDash, T-Mobile, Verizon) for quality at scale.
Multi-framework
Native SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter.
