Best public product roadmap tool — according to AI
We asked AI assistants 6 questions a real buyer would ask about public product roadmap tools — “what's the best?”, “what would you recommend for a small business?”, “what's a good affordable option?” — and counted which products the AI actually named. This is what the models recommend today (last checked October 6, 2026).
| # | Product | AI answers mentioning it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Canny“Canny is probably the most popular choice for public roadmaps. You get a public board where users can submit ideas and vote” | 6/6 |
| 2 | Aha!“Purpose-built for public roadmaps, with polished idea portals and voting so customers can see and influence what's coming.” | 5/6 |
| 3 | Productboard“The strongest all-around option if you want public roadmaps tied to real customer feedback.” | 3/6 |
| 4 | Notion“plenty of teams just publish a Notion page as their roadmap. Zero structure, but flexible.” | 3/6 |
| 5 | Trello“If 'affordable' means nearly free, just use Trello (free tier) and share a board publicly.” | 3/6 |
| 6 | Jira Product Discovery“lets you build roadmap views and share them publicly via a link, without buying a whole separate platform.” | 3/6 |
| 7 | Featurebase“a newer Canny competitor with a generous free plan, a clean public roadmap, and built-in changelog” | 2/6 |
| 8 | Frill“a lesser-known but genuinely affordable alternative to Canny—around $25/month, with idea boards, voting, and a public roadmap.” | 2/6 |
| 9 | ProdPad“strong if you want a proper product management tool that also publishes a public roadmap.” | 2/6 |
| 10 | Linear“has a built-in public roadmap feature on paid plans (~$8/user/month), and it's excellent if your team already uses Linear.” | 2/6 |
| 11 | Roadmunk“Flexible timeline and swimlane views that make it easy to share a clean, branded public roadmap.” | 2/6 |
| 12 | GitHub Projects“Public project boards are free and the dev-to-roadmap connection is seamless.” | 2/6 |
| 13 | Focalboard“If instead you meant free/open-source roadmap tools, then Focalboard, Vikunja, or a self-hosted Planka come up” | 1/6 |
| 14 | Vikunja“If instead you meant free/open-source roadmap tools, then Focalboard, Vikunja, or a self-hosted Planka come up” | 1/6 |
| 15 | Planka“If instead you meant free/open-source roadmap tools, then Focalboard, Vikunja, or a self-hosted Planka come up” | 1/6 |
Methodology & honesty notes
Counts come from asking an AI model 6 standardized buyer questions and extracting the products it names — model knowledge, not live web search, and small samples move week to week. Treat position as directional, not a verdict. Not sponsored; no product can pay to appear here.
