The Nolt alternative that doesn't charge per board
Nolt is a lightweight, no-frills feedback board, a solid choice if a hosted public board is all you need. It doesn't ship a React or React Native SDK, and its pricing scales by the number of boards you run. Upstep gives you an embeddable widget and a free plan instead.

Nolt starts at $29/month for a single board (Essential), rising to $69/month for up to 5 boards (Pro). A 10-day trial of the Pro plan is available without a credit card, and Enterprise pricing is quote-only.
- ✕No free plan, paid tiers start at $29/month after the trial
- ✕Pricing scales by board count, awkward once you have a few apps or teams
- ✕Boards are hosted pages, not an SDK you embed directly in your product UI
- ✕No dedicated React Native SDK for mobile apps
- ✕Password-protected/domain-restricted boards require the $69/month Pro plan
