Workflow details
These comparisons explain the operational difference behind the table: where requests enter, what reaches Linear, what customers can see, and how they hear about progress.
Feedvote
Customers can submit, comment, and vote in one portal. Native and anonymous voting are included, with unlimited feedback and votes on the Business plan.
SteelSync
SteelSync documents customer voting and displays vote counts. Its public materials do not document anonymous voting or the same unlimited feedback allowance.
Feedvote
Admins can approve feedback before it becomes public or creates a linked Linear issue or project. Supported status updates then sync back to the customer view.
SteelSync
Client requests enter a triage section and can create Linear work with write permission. A separate pre-public approval state is not publicly documented.
Feedvote
One roadmap can combine selected Linear issues and projects, map internal statuses to public stages, and limit work to public or customer-specific audiences.
SteelSync
SteelSync supports synchronized timeline and Kanban roadmaps across teams or projects, with public or access-code-protected boards.
Feedvote
Status emails can reach request authors, voters, commenters, and admins. Teams can also publish tagged changelog updates tied to the wider feedback workflow.
SteelSync
SteelSync offers board subscriptions, release emails, and an advertised AI changelog. This is useful when broadcast-style release communication is the main need.
