DoneDone vs Frill
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Frill — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone vs Frill: at a glance
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
What is Frill?
Frill wants to read your support tickets so nobody has to file ideas by hand.
Frill's recent work takes the feedback board to where conversations already happen: an MCP server on every plan for retrieval, a Chrome extension with AI summaries for capture, and assignees inside the board. The newest item, AI Inbox, is announced but not shipped; it would watch support tickets, Slack threads and sales calls, pull out feature requests and bugs, and merge duplicates into existing ideas.

DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
◆ Current state
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
◆ Where it's heading
After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
◆ Prediction
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
Frill
2.5SUPPORT
Frill wants to read your support tickets so nobody has to file ideas by hand.
◆ Current state
Frill's recent work takes the feedback board to where conversations already happen: an MCP server on every plan for retrieval, a Chrome extension with AI summaries for capture, and assignees inside the board. The newest item, AI Inbox, is announced but not shipped; it would watch support tickets, Slack threads and sales calls, pull out feature requests and bugs, and merge duplicates into existing ideas.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release removes a manual step between a customer saying something and an idea existing in Frill. The extension made capture one click; AI Inbox would make it zero clicks, with Frill reading the channels itself. The board is becoming the store that agents fill and query, and less the place people visit.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Inbox to open to early teams with a short list of named sources, likely the help desks and Slack already referenced across these notes; how it is priced, given MCP shipped on every plan, is the open question.
