Open-source Fider alternative
Like Fider — with a widget, an AI roadmap, and MIT freedom.
Fider proved open-source feedback boards work. Feedbackland builds on the idea: an embeddable widget, an AI-ranked roadmap, Ask AI analytics — all MIT-licensed, all free, hosted or self-hosted.
- Free forever
- Unlimited users
- MIT licensed
- Self-hostable
Why teams switch from Fider.
We like Fider — it's honest software. These are the gaps our own users asked us to fill.
A widget out of the box
Fider doesn't ship an embeddable widget. Feedbackland includes a React widget — drawer or popover — installed with one npm package and a single JSX tag, so users never leave your app.
MIT instead of AGPL
Fider's AGPL license carries copyleft obligations. Feedbackland is MIT: embed it, modify it, bundle it into commercial products — no source-sharing requirements attached, and no feature gates.
Insights and Ask AI
Feedbackland merges duplicate posts into a ranked roadmap and answers questions about your feedback in plain English, with citations. Neither exists in Fider today.
Free hosted cloud, without the item cap
Fider's cloud is free up to 250 items and $25/month beyond that. Feedbackland's hosted version is $0 with no item or user cap — and self-hosting the identical codebase costs exactly as much.
Fider vs Feedbackland.
A factual side-by-side. Figures reflect publicly listed pricing and licensing as of August 2026 — if any of it is out of date, email us and we'll fix it.

Migrating from Fider.
Already self-hosting Fider? Feedbackland runs a different shape — Vercel with Supabase and Firebase rather than a Docker container — but the setup is about 15 minutes, and your posts come across through the API.
- 1
Export from Fider
Use Fider's CSV export or admin API to pull your posts — titles, descriptions, statuses, and who asked for what.
- 2
Import posts through the API
Feedbackland exposes a public endpoint for creating posts. A short script — any language, one request per post — brings your board across. Comments and vote counts don't import yet.
- 3
Flip the switch
Point your users at the new board and drop the widget into your app. Insights regenerates from the imported posts on its first run.
