Modu

Modu is a feedback and voting platform that centralizes user suggestions, polls, ratings, roadmaps, and changelogs into white-labeled boards, then uses AI clustering to surface what your users actually want so product teams stop guessing and start building.

What is Modu?

Modu is a young, NY-based feedback and voting platform built by a small self-funded team and launched in February 2026. Instead of a single-purpose voting page, it gives you 'boards' stuffed with modular feedback components — public suggestion boards with upvoting, private text forms for bug reports, 1-5 rating scales for NPS-style checks, single/multiple-choice polls, a public roadmap organized into Backlog/Planned/In Progress/Shipped, and a changelog for release notes with cover images and YouTube embeds. Those modules can be shared as direct links, embedded in your site with a code snippet, or triggered as popup widgets, so feedback is collected in context rather than in an isolated portal. On the analysis side, Modu clusters similar open-ended responses using AI (bring-your-own OpenAI key), dedupes repeated suggestions, and pings you when thresholds like 10 upvotes are crossed. Integrations with Slack, Jira, Trello, Linear, ClickUp, and Google Sheets let a top-voted suggestion become a dev ticket with one click and notify the people who asked for it when it ships — closing the loop. The lifetime deal starts at $49 for 3 boards, with white-labeling, custom domains, and AI clustering included even on the entry tier, which undercuts Canny's roughly $79/month starting price. The flip side is provenance: the product is a few months old, there is no independent review trail, and the differentiation boils down to one team's AI clustering on a crowded template — so you are paying for the vision as much as the software.

Key Features

• *Suggestion Boards** — Public idea boards where users submit and upvote feature requests, with duplicate detection to keep priorities clean.
• *AI Clustering** — Automatically groups similar open-ended feedback into themes (bring-your-own OpenAI key required) so trends surface without manual tagging.
• *Product Roadmap** — Share what's planned, in progress, and shipped with clear statuses so users can track their requested features.
• *Changelog** — Post release notes with cover images and YouTube embeds to visibly close the loop on shipped features.
• *Polls & Ratings** — Single and multiple-choice polls plus 1-5 rating scales for NPS-style satisfaction checks and quick preference decisions.
• *Private Text Forms** — Collect open-ended bug reports and surveys that only admins can view.
• *Embeds & Popups** — Drop feedback modules into your website or trigger popup widgets to capture in-context feedback without redirecting users.
• *Integrations** — Slack, Jira, Trello, Linear, ClickUp, and Google Sheets turn votes and ratings into dev tickets or live exports automatically.
• *White-Label & Security** — Custom domains, themes, logos, and branding removal, plus password-protected boards and SSO for gated or internal feedback.

Who is it for?

• SaaS founders and product managers who want a single source of truth for feature requests instead of Slack threads and support tickets.
• Bootstrapped startups looking to replace a $79+/month Canny subscription with a one-time $49 fee.
• Customer success and marketing teams that want to close the loop by showing users their feedback shipped.
• Community builders running Discord/Slack communities who want a polished, branded public voting board.
• Solo devs and indie hackers who want a white-labeled feedback portal without building or hosting one themselves.

Who is it NOT for?

• Enterprise teams that need SAML, granular admin roles, and uptime SLAs from an established vendor.
• Anyone unwilling to manage their own OpenAI API key and budget for AI usage on top of the license.
• Buyers who need an independent review trail before paying a lifetime fee to a brand-new product.
• Teams already happy with an existing Canny/Featurebase setup — the migration cost rarely beats a one-time $49.
• Non-technical users who won't configure API keys or embed code on their own.
