Aha! Ideas vs PrioSmith

Aha! Ideas helps product teams gather feedback from customers and communities, then assess ideas by revenue potential. Teams can create custom-branded portals where unlimited portal users submit feedback and vote. Other inputs include polls, in-app idea submission, and automatic product-idea detection. Requests can be reviewed in a single view, evaluated with scorecards, and ranked by priority. Its AI assistant, Elle, can find themes in feedback, surface use cases across related ideas, and identify similar ideas for possible merging. The Advanced plan adds dynamic forms, proxy voting, CRM integrations, polls, advanced reporting, automation rules, and portal translation; CRM connections such as Salesforce and Zendesk require that plan. Essentials costs $49 a month, billed Monthly, starting at $49 per user/month with a minimum of three paid users. Advanced costs $74 a month, billed Monthly, with the same starting per-user price structure and minimum. A 30-day trial includes Advanced functionality, permits colleague invitations, and requires no credit card. Every plan includes HTTPS communications and encryption at rest. Users can export data as CSV or use the Aha! API. The product is available on web, macOS, Windows, as an extension, and through an API.

PrioSmith is subscription-based product-feedback software for digital product teams. Customers submit feature requests through a public portal with descriptions, attachments, votes, comments, and reactions. Teams move requests through pending, approved, in-progress, shipped, or rejected stages. Signal analytics use votes, activity, customer segments, and revenue-weighted demand to support prioritization. Shipped requests can link to release notes, with notifications sent to the customers who requested them. The hosted portal supports custom domains, inline, sidebar, and modal widgets, roadmap embeds, and changelog feeds after connected verification. Privacy controls include private boards, hidden posts, moderated submissions, team access, and signed customer identity for private widget sessions. Listed integrations are API, webhooks, and MCP; a Slack integration appears as in progress. Spark includes one product workshop, while Forge includes unlimited workshops, API, webhooks, MCP, and a priority response queue. Platforms are Android, iOS, web, and API. A 14-day trial requires no card. Spark costs $5 a month; Forge costs $15 a month.
