20+ Best Product Feedback Software Tools

Virtually all companies—95% of us—collect feedback from our customers. We do it because feedback is essential for product success. Feedback tells you what your customers want and what they’ll buy.

While it’s possible to keep track of product feedback with Trello or a spreadsheet, it’s not ideal. A poor process gets chaotic and unusable.

You need a product feedback tool—one that lets you organize and draw insights from your feedback.

But which one?

There are tons to choose from, and each has different features. The right one for you depends on your needs.

We’re experts here—customer feedback is our entire gig. So we’ve listed our 20+ favourite tools here, along with their primary features, to help make it easier for you to find the best fit for your needs.

The best customer feedback tools for organizing product feedback

What do you do with customer feedback? You use it to inform your feature priorities and your product roadmap.

If you do that well, you will boost customer loyalty, increase retention, and drive upsells.

These tools help you do that. They each help you aggregate your feedback, use it to glean essential insights, and then build a better product.

Savio

Savio is a lightweight but very powerful tool for aggregating your customer feedback and feature requests in a single place and using them to draw useful insights.

Savio centralizes feedback in one place

Savio is like a Swiss Army Knife—it’s flexible enough to work with any of the apps you get feedback in. It’s got a ton of native integrations that let you centralize feedback from tools you already use, like Help Scout, Intercom, Typeform, Salesforce, Hubspot CRM, and Slack. There’s also a voting board, and you can quickly log feedback received via email.

We connect to Zapier if you use an app we don’t have a native connection to, and the Chrome extension makes it easy to bring in feedback from anywhere on the web. And if none of that works for you, there’s an API.

Savio organizes and segments your feedback and feature requests

Once you have your voice of customer requests in a central location, Savio makes it easy to segment by important customer attributes like MRR, stage in the customer journey, and more. That gives you visibility into which customers love your product, what they’re looking for, and why.

For example, Savio makes it simple for you to filter and sort feedback to understand:

• What your highest MRR customers think of your product

• What features your churned customers were asking for

• What feedback prospects are leaving for your sales team

• What customers on your free plan say they would pay for

Here, we’ve filtered for features with cumulative MRR over $1,500 and sorted from largest to smallest, making it easy to see which feature has the most MRR associated with it.

This allows you to find the most impactful features so you can prioritize product features, make changes to your service, or train customer support people based on better customer insights.

Savio unites your team around your customers

Teams don’t always disagree about what to build next. Savio makes it easy to share customer feedback with others so everyone understands what customers are asking for. That way, Product Managers can justify the product choices they’re making using data—one step towards handling dissent about roadmaps.

Share feedback with teams to justify product decisions.

Savio helps close the loop

Finally, Savio empowers you to follow up with customers—“close the loop”—when you build a feature, they asked for or take another action based on their feedback. Closing the feedback loop is one of the best ways to build customer loyalty and increase retention.

Savio lets you do this in just a few clicks. Send close-the-loop emails with Savio in just a few clicks.

Advantages:

• Savio can easily receive feedback from email, through its many integrations, and from anywhere on the web

• A powerful triage process helps you put aggregate similar requests and determine when you need more information

• Segmenting feedback helps you prioritize feature requests and build for your most important customers

• Public voting boards help keep your customers engaged

• Easily close the loop to boost customer loyalty and reduce churn

• It’s good value—lots of features for an affordable price

Disadvantages:

• No feature to visually create a roadmap in collaboration with your team (Just kidding, we built a roadmapping feature.)

• No support (yet) for multiple languages.

How much does Savio cost?

Savio starts at $39/m, which gets an admin seat ($23/m for additional seats). That gets you everything you need to collect, centralize, and prioritize feedback and feature requests. You can upgrade to higher plans for more seats and a couple more features. Free trials are available for all plans—sign up here.

Who it’s best for: Savio is ideal for customer-centric SaaS companies that need a way to organize and prioritize their feature requests and build the right product—the one their customers really want.

Advantages:

• Screenshots help your users provide more specific feedback

The best software tools for collecting customer feedback

The following tools are our favourites for collecting feedback—getting it out of your customers’ heads and into your hands.

One key point to remember when collecting product feedback is that it doesn’t come from only one place. You’ll get it from your support, sales, customer success, and even marketing teams. You’ll get it from surveys. You’ll get it from user-tracking apps and heat maps. And you’ll get it from user interviews.

We’ve included a range of tools here that make it easy to collect and bring together various kinds of feedback from one or more of those channels.
