Frill Alternative: Native Feature Voting for App Studios
Shpd is a feature-voting platform built specifically for mobile app studios. Unlike web-only tools, Shpd embeds voting directly into your iOS and Android apps, so users vote where they already spend time.
Why studios switch from Frill to Shpd
Frill works well for simple feedback collection, but studios managing multiple apps often hit its limits. Shpd was built to solve that problem. The core difference: voting happens inside your app via a native iOS and Android SDK, not on a separate web page. Users don't leave your app to vote. You get a public roadmap, a web dashboard for your team, and automatic notifications the moment a feature ships. For studios with 2 to 30 apps, cross-app voter identity means one user can vote across all your products without logging in separately each time.
Native voting experience
Embedding the voting UI directly into your app keeps friction low. Users tap a button, vote on features, and stay inside your app. No redirect to a web page. The native iOS and Android SDKs integrate in minutes. Your product team sees all votes in one dashboard, weighted by user tier if you choose to set that up. When you ship a feature, voters who supported it get notified automatically. That instant feedback loop builds trust and keeps your community engaged.
Built for multi-app studios
Most feature-voting tools treat each app as an island. Shpd connects them. A user who votes in one of your apps can see and vote on features across your entire product suite without creating new accounts. This matters if you're a studio with multiple apps serving overlapping audiences. Your roadmap becomes a single source of truth. Voters see what's shipping across your whole portfolio, not just one app.
Pricing that scales with you
Shpd offers a free tier for early-stage studios, then paid plans that scale with the number of apps and voters you have. You won't pay per feature or per vote. It's transparent and straightforward. Whether you're starting with one app or managing dozens, pricing grows at the same pace as your studio.
From vote to shipped
Shpd's core promise is simple: track features from the moment users vote to the moment they ship. Your team uses the web dashboard to manage priorities and plan releases. Voters get notified when their ideas land. This transparency reduces support tickets and strengthens your relationship with your user base. You can also set up a public roadmap so everyone knows what's coming next.

Frequently asked questions
Is Shpd just Frill with a different name?
No. The main difference is that Shpd voting happens inside your app via native iOS and Android SDKs, not on a web page. Shpd is also built for studios managing multiple apps, with cross-app voter identity. It's a different approach for a different audience.
Can I use Shpd if I only have one app?
Yes. The free tier supports single-app studios. You get a public roadmap, native voting, and auto-notifications when features ship. Paid plans are available if you need advanced features or grow to multiple apps.
Does voting happen on a web page or inside my app?
Inside your app. Shpd provides iOS and Android SDKs that embed the voting UI natively. Users don't leave your app to vote.
What if my studio already uses Canny?
Many studios that outgrow Canny move to Shpd because they need embedded voting and support for multiple apps. Shpd's native approach and cross-app voter identity solve those specific pain points.
Can I see all votes across my apps in one place?
Yes. The web dashboard shows votes and feature requests from all your apps in a single view. You can prioritise and manage your roadmap across your entire studio.
Do voters get notified when features ship?
Yes. Voters who supported a feature receive automatic notifications the moment it ships. This keeps your community engaged and reduces the number of support messages asking when a feature will be ready.
