Overview: FeaturePulse vs FeedBear
FeedBear is a feedback platform with roadmap and changelog features. It's a solid tool for collecting feature requests, but it's web-focused and lacks several key features that iOS developers need.
Free Tier Comparison
One major difference: FeaturePulse offers a free tier forever, while FeedBear only provides a 14-day trial. For side projects and early-stage apps, this can be a dealbreaker. With FeaturePulse, you can start collecting feedback immediately without any commitment.
Revenue & Engagement Tracking
FeedBear tracks votes but doesn't show the revenue behind each feature request. FeaturePulse's MRR tracking lets you see exactly how much revenue is requesting each feature, helping you reduce churn by building what your paying customers actually want.
Identifying Power Users
FeaturePulse also offers engagement tracking that FeedBear doesn't have. This helps you identify which features are requested by your most active users versus those who might churn anyway.
Native iOS SDK
FeedBear suggests using WebViews for mobile apps, which creates a poor user experience. FeaturePulse's native SwiftUI SDK integrates naturally into your iOS app, making feedback collection seamless for iOS developers.
Conclusion
FeedBear is a capable web-based feedback tool, but FeaturePulse offers significant advantages for iOS developers: native SDK, free tier, revenue tracking, and App Store reviews import.
