Planet Roadmap vs Shortcut

Shortcut is a powerful project management tool designed specifically for software teams, but it lacks the native customer-facing feedback and roadmap portals that product-led companies require. While Shortcut excels at engineering workflows, Planet Roadmap offers a more comprehensive suite by integrating public voting, roadmapping, and OKRs into a single platform with a more predictable pricing model.

Pricing comparison

Shortcut

Shortcut utilizes a per-user pricing model, starting with a Free tier for up to 10 users. Their paid tiers, Team and Business, typically range from $8.50 to $12 per user per month when billed annually, which can lead to significant cost increases as your engineering and product teams grow.

Planet Roadmap

Planet Roadmap provides a flat-rate structure starting at $49/month for the Pro plan, which includes 10 team seats and 5,000 tracked voters. Instead of a steep per-user tax, additional seats are only $4/month, and the inclusion of public portals removes the need for a separate $100+/month subscription for feedback tools.
