Why we built FeatureJet (and why it's $15 flat)

We launched FeatureJet today. Here's why it exists, and why the pricing page is one sentence long.

We're not greedy. We're not a big corporation. We're not trying to squeeze users for every possible cent. We build FeatureJet because we love making things that bring other people joy — and because we were tired of feedback tools that punish a team's success with per-seat pricing and metered basics.

So FeatureJet is one plan: $15/month or $119/year, flat. No per-seat math, no feature paywalled into a growth tier, no basics held hostage. Every plan includes unlimited boards, posts, and votes, plus the API, a hosted MCP server, and Python/Node SDKs, from the first day of your 7-day free trial.

The loop is simple: users vote on a public board. Your AI agent — whether that's Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or anything else that speaks MCP — pulls the top planned request, reads the discussion thread for context, and works it as a branch you review. Agents can file new feedback and propose status changes over the API or MCP server today; publishing a post live to the board ships disabled for agents in this release, so the make-it-public call stays with a human. When you flip a post to shipped, every voter who asked for it gets an email automatically — from you, not from us.

We dogfood this daily. Our own roadmap runs on our own board, in public, and every step in that loop — vote, build, ship, notify — is itself a shipped FeatureJet feature.

What you get on day one: a public feedback board live in about five minutes, verified voting with real abuse protection and no signup wall, the API, MCP server, and SDKs included at $15 flat rather than gated behind a higher tier, and a cancel policy that does not hold your data hostage — your board stays readable, and CSV/JSON export works whether or not you're subscribed.

We built this because feedback tools shouldn't need a sales call, and because "included with your plan" should actually mean something. The 7-day trial costs nothing to try, and our own board is public right now if you want to see the loop before you sign up: feedback.featurejet.com — and the product's at featurejet.com.

Flat pricing is interesting for developer tools because it removes one kind of hesitation from adoption. The hard part is making sure the product boundary stays clear enough that simple pricing does not hide complexity.

Thanks Alex! I come from the old school of the internet. Back in the day, we thought it was going to be this great enabler for mankind but instead it has been parked by big tech. They’re always trying to wring another cent out of their end users.

We now live in an era where the builders can balance out the greed and offer things like flat pricing.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but at least I’ll learn something along the way!

How does the verified voting hold up without a signup wall? Those two usually pull against each other, so I'm curious what the verification hangs on when a voter never makes an account, a one-time email link per vote or something device-side. In your loop the votes steer what the agent builds next, so their weight is basically the product.
