Can't you restrict feature voting (or whatever kind of request prioritization) to paying users?

But I already have! Making my free users happy has lead to a portion converting to premium and many more sharing my offerings :D

That's awesome! There's no one way to do this so if it's working for you, then keep doing what you're doing. Are you running a B2C startup by any chance?

It's prosumer. A few customers are businesses, many are freelancers and most are employees.
