Cayda vs Userback

The Userback alternative that never shows your visitors a button.

Userback puts a launcher on your page so the public can send reports, then sells you seats, projects and add-ons around it. Cayda keeps the feedback layer private to your team, runs on every site you own for one price, and starts at $9 with a free plan that never expires.

Why teams choose Cayda over Userback

Invisible to visitors. Always.

Nothing renders for your audience on any plan. Userback hides its launcher only through its JavaScript SDK on the Business tier; Cayda has nothing to hide because the layer exists only for authenticated team members and invited guests.

Priced per collaborator, nothing else

A base fee covers you; each accepted teammate is $5 to $6. Paid plans have no site or project cap, so an agency with fifteen client sites pays the same as a studio with one. Userback caps projects at 5, 25 and 50 by tier.

A dashboard built for triage

Kanban and list views, filters by status, priority, assignee and note type, bulk actions, threaded comments, an activity feed and CSV export on Pro. Userback holds export back to its $79 Business plan.

Your real site, not a copy

One script tag on your own domain. Your team reviews the page that actually shipped, with their own session, so pages behind login, dashboards, checkout flows and single page apps just work.

How Userback approaches it

Userback is a customer feedback platform: a visible widget for end users, surveys, a feature request portal sold as an add-on, and AI categorisation on the upper tiers. Plans are sized by seats and projects, from two projects on the free plan to fifty on Business Plus, and the free tier locks each piece of feedback seven days after it is submitted.

Cayda is the feedback layer for the team that builds and maintains the site. It is private by design, it captures the context of the real page, it triages in a board, and it pushes to Slack, Jira, Asana and Linear, without counting your sites or metering your visitors.

The bottom line

If the people leaving feedback are your team and your clients, and the sites you review are many, Cayda costs less, stays invisible on production, and does not lock your notes behind a timer. Add a site free and see it on your own pages.
