SimpleBoards roadmap board with the Clean Light theme. SimpleBoards roadmap board with the Midnight Glass dark theme. SimpleBoards roadmap board with the Pulse theme.

Clean Light. Bright surface, soft borders, bold status bars. The default for new boards.

Most teams never need to upgrade.

Roadmap, ideas board, voting, moderation, and CSV import are all included. No subscription, no account, no row limits. Pro adds AI and automations on top, but the free plan already does what most paid feedback tools charge for.

Public roadmap board

Show product direction in a clean Kanban layout. Planned, In Progress, and Done are all visible, so users stop asking for updates by email.

Ideas board

A dedicated place for user submissions. Each idea can receive votes, comments, and a status update so users feel heard.

Voting and sorting

Users vote once per idea. Sort by most voted, newest, or oldest. Demand becomes data you can act on, not gut feeling.

Filter and search

Category filters and keyword search for both roadmap and ideas views. Long boards stay navigable on any device.

Guest submissions

Visitors submit ideas without creating an account. Less friction means more feedback from the people who actually use your product.

Admin moderation

New submissions sit in a queue until you approve or reject them. Bulk actions let you process many items at once.

LoopedIn CSV import

Import titles, descriptions, statuses, dates, and vote counts from LoopedIn. Control duplicate behavior per import.

Email notifications

Get notified on new submissions and moderation events. Edit email subject and body so notifications match your voice.

Custom statuses and categories

Edit default stages or create your own. Organize ideas into category groups that match how your team thinks.

Comments and discussion

Each idea supports threaded comments through the native WordPress comment system. No new setup required.

Fully responsive

The board adapts to desktop, tablet, and mobile. Scoped plugin styles keep the UI consistent regardless of your theme.

Shortcode and hooks

Embed with [sbir_board product="slug"]. Extend with WordPress actions and filters without touching plugin files.
