Chisel was a product management and roadmapping tool with AI features, acquired by Pendo in 2026. See its features, pricing history, and what changed.
Before going further, it is worth being explicit that this profile is about Chisel.app (Chisel Labs), a product management and roadmapping platform for PM teams. It is unrelated to a separate, open-source project that also uses the name chisel: a lightweight, Go-based command-line tool for tunneling TCP and UDP traffic over HTTP, commonly used by network and security engineers. The two products share a name and nothing else, so anyone landing on generic search results for chisel should confirm which one they are looking at.
Chisel positioned itself as a single home for the core work of product management: agile, customizable roadmaps across kanban, release, and timeline views; a Team Radar feature meant to surface where cross-functional stakeholders agreed or disagreed on priorities; an IdeaBox for capturing and organizing feature requests from multiple sources; and a Customer Portal with built-in surveys for structured feedback collection.
Its more recent differentiator was an AI PM agent that could draft product requirement documents and release notes, summarize user research, triage incoming feedback, and flag anomalies in a roadmap automatically. The platform integrated broadly with tools already common in product organizations, including Jira, Azure DevOps, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, GitHub, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Confluence, and Microsoft Teams, with thousands of additional connections available through Zapier.
On February 3, 2026, Pendo, a software experience management platform, acquired Chisel Labs, describing it as Pendo's fourth acquisition in 18 months and third acquisition of an AI-native startup, with the explicit goal of expanding Pendo's own agentic AI capabilities for product teams. Chisel's engineering team based in Pune, India, is becoming the foundation of Pendo's new India office, with plans to scale to 50 engineers by the end of 2026.
For readers evaluating Chisel today, this means it is no longer an independent company setting its own roadmap and pricing. Historical pricing details, such as a free-forever core tier and paid add-ons previously reported around 49 to 79 dollars per month, are included here as a record of how Chisel priced itself before the acquisition, but current product availability and packaging should be confirmed directly with Pendo rather than assumed from pre-acquisition marketing.
This profile covers Chisel.app, the product management platform. A separate, unrelated open-source project also called chisel is a Go-based network tunneling tool with no connection to Chisel Labs.
No. Chisel Labs was acquired by Pendo in February 2026 and is being integrated into Pendo's agentic AI product line rather than operating independently.
Historically, Chisel offered a free-forever tier for core roadmapping and team alignment, with paid add-ons for surveys and deeper integrations; current terms should be confirmed with Pendo.
