Why Quackback?

Most feedback tools are expensive, closed-source, and lock you in. Quackback gives you a modern feedback system you actually own.

• Self-host for free. Run on your own infrastructure. No per-seat pricing.
• Own your data. Your feedback lives in your own database. No vendor lock-in.
• AI-powered. Automatic duplicate detection, AI summaries, feedback extraction from external sources, and an MCP server that lets AI agents search, triage, and act on feedback directly.
• 24 integrations. Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub, Intercom, Zendesk, and more out of the box.

Features

• Feedback boards. Let users vote, comment, and track status on feature requests. Vote on behalf of customers and see a full activity timeline on every post.
• AI-powered. Automatically detect duplicates, summarize key themes, and ingest feedback from Slack, email, and other sources so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Embeddable widget. Collect feedback right inside your app with a drop-in widget. Works on desktop and mobile.
• Admin inbox. Triage incoming feedback in one place. Filter, group, dismiss, and restore deleted posts.
• Roadmap & changelog. Show users what's planned, in progress, and shipped. Publish updates and schedule posts for later.
• Integrations. 24 integrations including Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub, Intercom, Zendesk, and two-way issue tracker sync.
• API, webhooks & MCP. Automate workflows with the REST API, outbound webhooks, and a 23-tool MCP server for AI agents.
• Flexible auth. Password, email OTP, Google, GitHub, and SSO with providers like Okta and Auth0.
• SEO-ready. Auto-generated sitemap and social sharing previews on every portal page.

Integrations

Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello, Notion, Shortcut, Azure DevOps, Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Discord, Teams, Segment, Zapier, Make, and n8n.
