The 10 Best Roadmap Tools

1. Productboard

Best for: Mid-market to enterprise teams (20+ people) who need customer feedback integrated with roadmapping

Productboard remains the strongest option for connecting customer feedback to roadmap decisions. Its feature board, prioritization matrix, and customer-facing portal make it ideal for teams that want data-driven prioritization. It supports both feature-based and goal-oriented roadmap formats, which matters — the choice between these two approaches affects how your entire org thinks about delivery.

Key features: Feedback portal, feature prioritization matrix, multiple roadmap views, Jira/Azure DevOps integration

Pricing: $20/user/month (Essentials), $80/user/month (Pro)

Pairs well with: If your team uses Productboard for roadmapping but needs a faster way to score features before they reach the board, the RICE Score Calculator or Weighted Scoring Model can feed into your Productboard workflow.

2. Linear

Best for: Engineering-led teams who want planning and execution in one tool

Linear's roadmap feature launched as a natural extension of its issue tracker. For teams that want to plan and build in the same tool, it's the most seamless option. It works best for agile roadmaps where sprints and epics map directly to roadmap items.

Key features: Project roadmaps, cycle planning, triage workflows, GitHub integration

Pricing: Free (up to 250 issues), $8/user/month (Standard)

Pairs well with: Linear handles execution tracking but lacks built-in prioritization frameworks. Use the ICE Score Calculator for fast backlog triage or RICE for more rigorous scoring before pulling items into Linear cycles.

3. Aha! Roadmaps

Best for: Enterprise teams that need strategy-to-delivery planning across multiple products

Aha! has the most powerful roadmap builder in the category. If your VP of Product needs portfolio-level roadmaps that roll up across teams, Aha! handles it. It also supports strategy roadmaps that cascade from company goals to initiative-level plans.

Key features: Timeline, swimlane, and portfolio views, strategy mapping, custom fields, dependency tracking

Pricing: $59/user/month (Roadmaps)

Pairs well with: Aha! includes its own prioritization scoring, but many teams use a Weighted Scoring Model with custom criteria that match their strategic context. The WSJF Calculator is useful for Aha! teams running SAFe.

4. Jira Product Discovery

Best for: Atlassian shops that want roadmapping without adding a new vendor

If your engineering team lives in Jira, Product Discovery is the path of least resistance. Ideas flow directly into Jira issues when they're ready for development. It supports impact scoring natively, making it a natural fit for teams already doing sprint planning and backlog refinement in Jira.

Key features: Impact scoring, custom prioritization, timeline view, native Jira integration

Pricing: Free (up to 10 users), $10/user/month

Pairs well with: JPD's impact scoring is useful but limited to one framework. For comparing approaches, see RICE vs ICE vs MoSCoW — each has a matching IdeaPlan calculator (RICE, ICE, MoSCoW) you can use alongside JPD.

5. Notion

Best for: Flexible teams who want to own their system

Notion isn't a roadmap tool, but its database views (timeline, board, table, gallery) let you build a roadmap system that's exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less. It works particularly well for Now-Next-Later roadmaps and Kanban-style boards where you don't need date-based timelines.

Key features: Custom databases, timeline view, relational properties, templates, AI assistant

Pricing: Free (personal), $8/user/month (Plus)

Pairs well with: Because Notion is a blank canvas, you need to bring your own structure. Our roadmap templates give you a starting point. Pair with the Kano Model Analyzer to classify features before placing them on your Notion board.

6. Airfocus

Best for: Teams that want modular PM tooling with built-in prioritization

Airfocus differentiates with its prioritization-first approach. It ships with RICE, WSJF, and custom scoring frameworks built in — making it one of the few tools where prioritization and roadmapping live in the same workflow.

Key features: Modular workspace, built-in prioritization scoring, portal, roadmap views

Pricing: $19/user/month (Essential)

Pairs well with: Airfocus covers prioritization natively. Where it's thinner is roadmap format diversity. For guidance on which format to present to stakeholders, see our Now-Next-Later vs Timeline comparison.

7. Craft.io

Best for: Product leaders who need executive-ready roadmap presentations

Craft.io focuses on making roadmaps that look polished enough for board presentations while still being functional for day-to-day planning. It's strongest for initiative-level roadmaps and release plans where visual clarity matters.

Key features: Beautiful roadmap views, PRD management, capacity planning, stakeholder sharing

Pricing: $39/user/month (Pro)

8. Coda

Best for: Teams that want a doc-first approach to product management

Like Notion, Coda lets you build custom PM systems. Its strength is in automation — you can create workflows that automatically update roadmap status based on triggers. Works well for release timeline roadmaps where status changes need to propagate automatically.

Key features: Custom tables, automations, timeline views, integrations, AI assistant

Pricing: Free (basic), $10/user/month (Pro)

9. Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse)

Best for: Small to mid-size teams who want project management with lightweight roadmapping

Shortcut sits between Linear and Jira — more featured than Linear, less complex than Jira. Its roadmap view gives a quick overview of what's planned across projects. It's a natural fit for teams running epic-based roadmaps with milestone tracking.

Key features: Story-based workflow, milestones as roadmap items, iteration planning, GitHub/GitLab integration

Pricing: Free (up to 10 users), $8.50/user/month (Team)

10. IdeaPlan Templates + Tools

Best for: Small teams and solo PMs who want structured frameworks without platform overhead

Rather than adopting another SaaS tool, IdeaPlan provides free interactive tools and templates that work with your existing tools. Use a prioritization calculator to score features, download a roadmap template, customize it in Google Slides or Notion, and present it to stakeholders.

Key features: 22 roadmap templates, 7 prioritization calculators, North Star Metric finder, PM Maturity Assessment, free tier

Pricing: Free tier, Pro at $15/month

Choosing the Right Roadmap Format

The tool you pick matters less than the roadmap format you choose. The wrong format creates confusion; the right one drives alignment. Here's a quick guide:

Recommendations by Team Size

Solo PM / Startup (1-3 people)

Best options: IdeaPlan templates, Notion, or Linear (free tier)

You don't need a platform. Use a Now-Next-Later template in your existing tools, or Linear if you want planning integrated with your issue tracker. Prioritize with the ICE Score Calculator — it's faster than RICE and good enough for small backlogs.

For a step-by-step process, follow our guide on how to build a product roadmap.

Growth Stage (4-15 people)

Best options: Linear, Jira Product Discovery, or Airfocus

You need real collaboration but not enterprise features. Linear for eng-led teams, JPD for Jira shops, Airfocus for PM-led teams. At this stage, establishing a consistent prioritization framework matters — the Prioritization Framework Quiz helps you pick the right one, and RICE vs ICE vs MoSCoW breaks down the trade-offs.

Consider a quarterly roadmap template for planning cadence, even if your tool of choice handles the ongoing view.

Scale-Up (16-50 people)

Best options: Productboard, Airfocus, or Aha!

You need feedback management, multiple roadmap views, and integrations. Productboard if customer feedback is key, Aha! if you need portfolio views. At this scale, teams often struggle with prioritization politics — a Weighted Scoring Model with custom criteria brings transparency to the process.

The PM Maturity Assessment can help identify whether your team's biggest gap is in tooling, process, or skills.

Enterprise (50+ people)

Best options: Aha! or Productboard (Pro/Enterprise)

At this scale, you need role-based permissions, portfolio roadmaps, SSO, and dedicated support. Initiative-level roadmaps become essential for aligning multiple teams around shared outcomes. For SAFe organizations, the WSJF Calculator supports PI planning workflows that feed into your roadmap tool.

Bottom Line

The best roadmap tool is the one your team will actually use. Start with the lightest tool that solves your biggest pain point, and upgrade as your needs grow. Don't buy an enterprise platform when a template will do — and don't struggle with spreadsheets when a proper tool would save hours per week.
