The Upvoty alternative that meets users in chat
Upvoty is a clean web feedback board with roadmaps and changelogs. But it’s still a separate site your members have to visit, priced per tracker. Quillboard gives you the same board and roadmap inside Telegram and Discord, adds free local AI and moderation, and can be fully self-hosted.
Where Upvoty leaves feedback on the table
Web-only board — no in-chat voting on Telegram or Discord.
Per-tracker pricing adds up across multiple communities.
No free local AI dedup/summaries; no moderation tooling.
Hosted-only — no self-hosting option.

Switching from Upvoty
Why choose Quillboard over Upvoty?
Quillboard captures more feedback by living where your community already talks (Telegram/Discord), and adds AI dedup, moderation, and self-hosting Upvoty’s web-only board doesn’t have.
Can I self-host it?
Yes — Quillboard ships as Docker Compose; bring your own Postgres and Redis and run every feature at no cost. This option does not exist with the hosted-only tools.
