Getting started with List79

Updated 13 Nov 2026

List79 collects what your users wish your product did, helps your team decide, and tells users the outcome: shipped, planned, or declined with a reason. This guide takes you from sign-up to your first request in a few minutes.

1. Create your account

Go to list79.com and choose Sign in. You can sign in with Microsoft, or create an account with your email and a password.

2. Set up your business account and first product

The first time you sign in, List79 asks you to set you up:

  • Business account: your company. Billing and your team live here.
  • Product: the app your users give feedback on. Each product has its own requests, keys, widget and portal. You can add more products later from Your products.

Every new business account starts with a 14-day free trial with everything unlocked. You won't be charged until you choose a plan.

3. Collect your first requests

There are four ways requests come in:

  • Widget: a "Suggest a feature" button inside your app. See Add the widget to your app.
  • Public portal: a page where anyone can browse, vote and comment. See Set up the public portal.
  • API: send requests from your own systems, such as your support desk. See Use the List79 API.
  • By hand: anyone on your team can choose New request on the product's request list, for example after a sales call.

4. Bring in your team

People on a business account have one of four roles:

  • Owner and Admin: everything, including keys, portal settings and billing.
  • Product manager: works on requests: statuses, decisions, notes and replies.
  • Viewer: can read, but not change anything.

Next steps

  • Read Manage requests and decisions to learn the review workflow.
  • Add the widget so your users can reach you without leaving your app.
