The 6 Best In-App Feedback SDKs for iOS

Q: What is an in-app feedback SDK?

An in-app feedback SDK is a library you add to your iOS app so users can give feedback without leaving it. 'Feedback' covers several jobs, though: feature voting and roadmaps (deciding what to build), bug and crash reporting (catching what's broken), and surveys and ratings (asking structured questions). The best SDK depends on which of these you actually need — this list is grouped that way.

Q: What's the best in-app feedback SDK for iOS in 2026?

It depends on the job. For feature voting, a public roadmap and a changelog as native SwiftUI, Features.Vote is our top pick (it's also free to start and flat-priced). For bug and crash observability, Instabug/Luciq, Shake or Sentry lead. For structured in-app surveys, Survicate or Apptentive/Alchemer. Many teams run one from the 'feature voting' group plus one from the 'bug reporting' group, since they solve different problems.

Q: Which iOS feedback SDKs are truly native (not WebView)?

All the SDKs in this list ship native iOS code rather than wrapping a WebView — that's why they're here. Note that many popular web-first feedback tools (Canny, UserVoice, Beamer and others) have no native iOS SDK and are embedded via a WebView, which is why we kept them off this native-SDK list. Features.Vote is native specifically for feature voting, a roadmap and a changelog.

Q: Is there a free iOS feedback SDK?

Yes. Features.Vote has a free plan, and Shake and Sentry both offer free tiers (with limits). Survicate is trial-based, while Instabug/Luciq and Apptentive/Alchemer are enterprise, sales-gated tools with no public free plan.

Q: Can one SDK do feature voting, bugs and surveys?

Not really — and that's by design. Feature voting, bug/crash reporting and surveys are different disciplines, and the SDKs that try to do everything tend to be heavy and expensive. A common, lean setup is a focused feature-voting SDK (like Features.Vote) for product feedback plus a dedicated crash tool for engineering. Features.Vote does combine voting, roadmap and changelog in one native SDK, which covers the whole product-feedback side.

"Feedback SDK" means three different things — feature voting, bug reporting, and surveys. Here are the best native iOS options for each, with free tiers and pricing compared.

First, pick the job

The "best" SDK depends entirely on what you're trying to collect. This guide is grouped by these three jobs.

Feature voting & roadmap

Collect and prioritize what to build next — voting boards, public roadmaps, changelogs.

Bug & crash reporting

Catch what's broken — shake-to-report bugs, crash diagnostics, performance.

Surveys & ratings

Ask structured questions — NPS/CSAT surveys and App Store rating prompts.

All 6 SDKs at a glance

Every SDK here ships native iOS code — no WebView wrappers.

SDK	Best for	Free tier	Starting price
Features.Vote	Feature voting & roadmap	Yes (free plan)	$9/mo (flat)
Instabug (Luciq)	Bug & crash reporting	No (sales-only)	Sales-only
Shake	Bug & crash reporting	Yes (20 reports/mo)	$160/mo (Starter)
Sentry User Feedback	Bug & crash reporting	Yes (Developer plan)	~$26/mo (Team)
Survicate	Surveys & ratings	Trial (sources vary)	~$114/mo (Growth)
Apptentive (Alchemer Mobile)	Surveys & ratings	No (sales-only)	Sales-only

Pricing and capabilities reflect each vendor's public site/docs as of 2026. "Sales-only" tools (Instabug/Luciq, Apptentive/Alchemer) don't publish prices; "~" figures and trial notes may change — verify with the vendor before deciding.

Features.Vote

Feature voting & roadmapOur pick

Native voting board, roadmap & changelog for Apple platforms

Features.Vote is a zero-dependency Swift package that drops a native feature voting board, a public roadmap and a changelog into your iOS, iPadOS or macOS app — real SwiftUI views (with UIKit bridges), no WebView. Users can vote without signing up, votes can be revenue-weighted, and the changelog notifies voters when their request ships. There's also a web widget, REST API and MCP server, so the same feedback works everywhere.

Platforms

iOS 16+, iPadOS, macOS 13+

Native iOS

Yes

Pricing

$9/mo (flat) · free tier

Native SwiftUI: VotingBoardView, RoadmapView, ChangelogView, CreateFeatureView
Zero dependencies, no WebView
Zero-signup voting + revenue-weighted prioritization
Flat pricing with a free plan

Best for: Teams that want feature voting, a roadmap and a changelog as native Apple-platform UI, without per-seat or per-MAU pricing.

Instabug (Luciq)

Bug & crash reporting

Native bug, crash & performance observability SDK

Instabug — rebranded to Luciq in 2025 — is a mature native mobile SDK for bug reporting (shake-to-report), crash reporting, performance monitoring and session replay, now positioned around AI 'mobile observability.' It also bundles an in-app feature-requests module with voting and comments, but it's not a standalone public voting board, roadmap or changelog. Pricing is enterprise and sales-only.

Shake

Bug & crash reporting

Affordable shake-to-report bug & crash SDK

Shake is a native shake-to-report SDK that auto-attaches 70+ diagnostic data points to each bug report, plus crash reporting. It's often chosen as a more affordable alternative to heavier bug-reporting suites, and it has a genuine free tier for low volumes.

Sentry User Feedback

Bug & crash reporting

Error monitoring with a built-in feedback widget

Sentry is primarily an error and crash monitoring platform, and its native Apple SDK can also collect user feedback via an injectable widget, a custom API, or shake-to-report. If you already use (or want) Sentry for crashes, the feedback widget is a convenient add-on rather than a dedicated feedback product.
