Migrate from Productboard to Planet Roadmap

While Productboard is a pioneer in product management, many teams find themselves burdened by its high per-maker pricing and a complex 'Insights' workflow that often feels like a full-time job. Planet Roadmap offers a streamlined, flat-rate alternative that bridges the gap between customer discovery and project execution in a single, intuitive platform.

Why teams leave Productboard

  • Productboard's 'per-maker' pricing model scales poorly, often costing hundreds of dollars more per month just to let your engineers or designers contribute.
  • The platform is frequently criticized for being 'over-engineered,' leading to low adoption from team members who find the interface and data-linking requirements too complex.
  • The disconnect between Productboard (discovery) and your execution tools (Jira/Linear) creates a 'black hole' where feedback is lost; Planet Roadmap puts both in one place.
  • Teams looking for integrated OKR tracking and time tracking find Productboard's narrow focus requires adding even more paid tools to their stack.

Step 1 — Export your data from Productboard

Get your data out of Productboard so you can bring it into Planet Roadmap.

  1. 1

    Export the Features Board

    Navigate to your Features board, ensure all columns are visible, click the '...' menu, and select 'Export to CSV' to download your entire backlog.

  2. 2

    Download Insights and Notes

    Go to the Insights board and use the export function to save your customer feedback as a CSV file to preserve the context behind your feature requests.

  3. 3

    Capture Customer Data

    Export your 'Companies' or 'Customers' list to ensure you can re-associate your most important voters with their requested features in the new system.

Step 2 — Map your concepts

Here is how Productboard concepts translate to Planet Roadmap.

    Set Up Team & OKRs

    Invite your team (up to 10 seats included on Pro) and map your high-level Productboard objectives to our OKR tree for better alignment.

Import your existing tasks (CSV)

Drop your Productboard export into our CSV importer to bulk-create tasks in seconds. Map columns visually, validate with a dry run, and we'll skip any malformed rows so the rest still come through.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose votes/comments/history?

You can import vote counts and primary feedback via CSV. While deep threaded comment history requires manual migration, the core relationship between users and their requests is preserved.

How long does the migration take?

Technical data migration via CSV typically takes about 60-90 minutes. Refining your views and setting up custom domains usually takes another hour.

Can someone help me migrate?

Yes. We offer concierge migration services for Pro tier customers to help map complex prioritization frameworks and ensure data integrity.

Will my users be notified?

The import process is internal and silent. You have full control over when you launch the new portal and invite your community.

What about my custom domain?

Planet Roadmap supports custom domains for your feedback portal and roadmap on all paid tiers, starting at just $19/month.
