Best public roadmap tools in 2026
The best public roadmap tools in 2026, compared on statuses, publishing, feedback and pricing. Glink, Canny, Featurebase, Productboard and Upvoty, with prices checked 20 October 2026.
A public roadmap is a promise about what you are working on, so the tool should make status changes easy and keep the public view honest. These five cover the range from a focused indie workspace to an enterprise product suite.
How we picked
- A public roadmap that does not require a login.
- Clear statuses, so customers know what Planned and Shipped mean.
