Planet RoadmapPlanet Roadmap vs Productive
Productive is a comprehensive agency management tool designed to handle internal operations, resource planning, and profitability. While it offers deep insights into project budgets and team utilization, Planet Roadmap provides a more effective bridge between internal execution and public-facing product feedback, avoiding the high per-seat costs that scale with agency growth.

Pricing comparison
Productive
Productive operates on a per-seat pricing model with annual tiers ranging from $9/user/month (Essential) to $33/user/month (Ultimate). Higher tiers like Professional and Ultimate are required for advanced resource planning and profitability reporting with overhead calculations. There is no permanent free tier — only a 14-day trial.
Planet Roadmap
Planet Roadmap utilizes a flat-rate structure where the Pro plan ($49/month) includes 10 team seats and up to 5,000 tracked voters. This eliminates the 'per-user creep' found in Productive, offering a predictable cost for agencies that want to manage both internal projects and external feedback without paying for every new employee added to the system.
Why switch to Planet Roadmap
Bridge the Feedback Gap — Unlike Productive's internal-only focus, Planet Roadmap lets you capture public feature requests and convert them directly into project tasks in one unified workflow.
Eliminate Per-User Billing — Stop worrying about your software bill increasing every time you hire; Planet Roadmap's flat-rate and bundled seat pricing is designed to scale with your business, not your headcount.
Integrated Public Roadmapping — While Productive is built for agency profitability, Planet Roadmap is built for product transparency, offering built-in public roadmaps and magic-link voter authentication that Productive lacks.
