Why indie hackers choose Kikuyo over Featurebase

No hidden usage fees
Featurebase charges extra for AI resolutions ($0.29 each), outbound emails beyond 5,000/month, and AI translations. Kikuyo has zero usage-based charges.
Focused, not bloated
Featurebase has repositioned as an all-in-one support suite with help desks, knowledge bases, and ticketing. Kikuyo does one thing well: user feedback boards.
