The PM Toolkit vs Productboard

Productboard was built for enterprise. You're not enterprise yet.

Productboard charges per maker, auto-increases prices 5% on renewal, and gates basic features behind Enterprise. The PM Toolkit gives you the complete workflow — discovery through deliverables — starting free.

The core difference

Productboard

A customer feedback and roadmapping tool built for Fortune 500 teams. Powerful for centralizing feedback at scale. Starts at $19-59/maker/month — a 10-person team pays $190-590/month. Most teams use less than 20% of the features but pay for 100%.

The PM Toolkit

A complete AI-powered product workflow for PMs and founders. Covers discovery, research, strategy, building artifacts, and investor-ready deliverables. Starts free. No per-maker pricing. No automatic price increases.
