Fider Coupon: Free Self-Hosted

Deal Highlights

What is Fider?

Fider is a free, open-source feedback platform where users submit and vote on feature requests. It provides the core feature voting experience, ideas, votes, comments, and status updates without the pricing complexity of commercial alternatives like Canny or ProductBoard.

Key Features for Startups

Feature voting lets users submit ideas and upvote existing ones. The most-wanted features rise to the top, giving your product team clear prioritization signals based on actual user demand. Not gut feeling.

Status updates keep users informed as features move through your pipeline. Mark ideas as "Started," "Planned," "Completed," or "Declined" with explanations. Users who voted receive email notifications when status changes, closing the feedback loop.

Comments enable discussion on each idea. Users add context, suggest implementation approaches, and share use cases. Your team responds with questions, timelines, and updates.

OAuth authentication integrates with Google, GitHub, Facebook, and custom OAuth providers. Users log in with existing accounts. No separate registration required. This reduces friction and increases participation.

Custom branding applies your logo, colors, and domain for a branded feedback experience that feels like part of your product.

Open-source code means you can customize every aspect, add features, modify the UI, integrate with your tools. No vendor lock-in, no feature gates, no price increases.
