Eight alternatives priced on seats, boards or a flat plan, with real costs and trade-offs." image: "https://feedovate.com/og/blog/canny-alternatives.png" --- # 8 best Canny alternatives in 2026, compared By Feedovate team. Updated November 3, 2026. Canny is a good feedback board that gets expensive as it works: it charges by tracked users, so every customer who posts, votes or comments moves you toward a higher tier. Pro starts at $79 a month billed yearly for 100 tracked users and reaches about $529 at 1,000. If that's why you're looking, the short answer: - **To keep one flat price and rank requests by revenue:** Feedovate. - **To run support and feedback in one tool:** Featurebase. - **To spend as little as possible:** Upvoty or FeedBear. We make Feedovate, so it's first on this list, and it has its own trade-offs below. Every other tool is described from its own website, and every price was read off its pricing page on the date shown. ## The alternatives at a glance | Tool | Best for | Priced on | Starts at | Main trade-off | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Feedovate | Ranking requests by revenue, flat price | Flat per plan | $39/month | No free plan, no in-app embed | | Featurebase | Support and feedback in one suite | Per seat | $29/seat/month | Cost grows with every teammate | | UserJot | Unlimited team members on a small budget | Flat per plan | $29/month | One integration on Starter | | Frill | Surveys next to a feedback board | Flat per plan | $25/month | 50 ideas on the entry plan | | Upvoty | The lowest price with a custom domain | Flat per plan | $15/month | No value and effort scoring listed | | Nolt | One simple, clean board | Flat, by boards | $29/month, yearly | One board on Essential | | FeedBear | One admin, one board, lowest price | Flat, by team members | $15/month, yearly | One team member on Lite | | Productboard | Several PMs planning roadmaps | Per maker, 5 minimum | $295/month | Sold after a demo | ## Why teams look for a Canny alternative **The price follows your customers, not your team.** A tracked user is anyone who posts, votes or comments, including people whose feedback Canny's Autopilot captures from support conversations and calls. A feedback board that works well pulls in more of them, and the plan climbs: | Tracked users | Canny Pro, billed yearly | Feedovate Pro | | ------------- | ------------------------ | ------------- | | 100 | $79/month | $79/month | | 250 | $179/month | $79/month | | 1,000 | $529/month | $79/month | | 5,000 | $1,079/month | $79/month | Canny's figures are from its price slider as recorded in August 2026; our [Canny pricing breakdown](https://feedovate.com/blog/canny-pricing-2026) has the full curve. Go over your tier and Canny upgrades you automatically, unless you set a spend limit, in which case it stops tracking new users. Teams feel this. Updown.io, a monitoring service, wrote in February 2026 that Canny's tracked-user pricing would have moved it from the free plan to $311 a month, because everyone who ever gave feedback counts, closed requests included. It built its own board instead ([its post](https://updown.io/blog/goodbye-canny)). **Revenue context costs more.** Canny says it ties feedback to the revenue behind it, but its CRM integrations and single sign-on are on Business, priced on request. **You don't need everything it has.** Canny has grown into an AI-assisted platform that captures feedback from calls and tickets. If you only need a portal, a roadmap and a changelog, a simpler tool costs less. ## What to look for in a Canny alternative - **What the price scales on.** Seats, boards and flat plans stay predictable; tracked users and monthly active users don't. - **Prioritization beyond votes.** Can you score value and effort, and see who's asking and what they pay? - **Your issue tracker.** If you work in Linear or Jira, check whether status syncs both ways or only one. - **Closing the loop.** When something ships, does everyone who asked hear about it? - **The plan you'd actually need.** Custom domain, SSO and integrations often sit one or two plans up. - **Moving your data.** Check for an importer, or plan to start with only your open requests. ## 1. Feedovate Feedovate is a customer feedback tool for SaaS teams. Customers post and vote on ideas in your portal, your team ranks requests by value, effort and the revenue of the customers asking, and a public roadmap and changelog close the loop. We build it, so weigh this entry with that in mind. **Best for:** B2B SaaS teams that want to prioritize by revenue at a price that doesn't follow their customers. **Standout features** - Unlimited end users on every plan. You pay for your team's seats. - Value and effort scores on every request, and on Pro the revenue and number of customers asking. - Two-way Linear and Jira sync on Pro: move the issue and the request follows. - A changelog that emails every customer who asked when their request ships. - Requests from Slack and a REST API, and an MCP server so AI agents such as Claude Code or Cursor can work with your feedback. - AI tagging, summaries and reply drafts on every plan, and duplicate detection that costs no credits. **Pricing:** Starter is $39 a month (one workspace, 3 team seats, 1,000 AI credits). Pro is $79 a month (up to 3 workspaces with 10 seats each, 4,000 AI credits, revenue data, segments, Linear and Jira, custom domain). Two months free when you pay yearly. Your first workspace starts with 7 days of Pro, no card needed. **Trade-offs** - No free plan. - Nothing to embed inside your app yet, and no live chat, surveys or bug reporting. - No one-click importer yet. We help you move by email. - A shorter integration list than older tools: Linear, Jira, Slack, an MCP server and a REST API. **Compared with Canny:** the same job at a flat price, with revenue in the ranking on Pro rather than on a plan priced on request. Canny is ahead on integrations, a free plan and capturing feedback from calls and tickets. [Feedovate vs Canny in detail](https://feedovate.com/alternatives/canny-alternative). ## 2. Featurebase Featurebase began as a feedback board and now leads with AI support: a help desk, live chat, a help center and an AI agent, with feedback boards, a roadmap and a changelog alongside. **Best for:** Teams that want support and product feedback in one suite. **Standout features** - Feedback boards, a roadmap and a changelog, with requests sortable by revenue, impact, or value and effort. - Feedback 2.0, released in September 2026, uses AI to group raw feedback into requests linked to insights. - An AI agent that answers customers across channels, plus a help desk inbox and a help center. - Surveys, product tours and in-app feedback collection. - Linear and Jira links that bring status back, and Salesforce on Professional and up. **Pricing:** A free plan for one seat and one board. Growth is $29, Professional $59 and Enterprise $99 per seat a month, billed yearly, with a 10-day trial and no card. On top: $0.49 per resolved AI conversation, and $69 a month to remove branding. From Featurebase's pricing page and help center, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - Per seat since December 2025, so the bill grows with your team. - Usage is billed on top of seats: AI resolutions, outbound messages, translations and extra AI copilot capacity. - SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise-only. - Much of the product is support. A feedback-only team uses part of it. **Compared with Canny:** Featurebase charges per seat instead of per tracked user, so a small team with many customers pays less, and a large team pays more. [Canny vs Featurebase](https://feedovate.com/alternatives/canny-vs-featurebase). ## 3. UserJot UserJot pairs feedback boards, a roadmap and a changelog with newer support features: live chat and Juno, an AI support agent, both in beta. **Best for:** Teams that want unlimited team members at a low flat price. **Standout features** - Boards, a roadmap that emails voters when a status changes, and a changelog linked to the requests it closes. - A free plan with unlimited end users and posts, 2 boards and 3 team members. - Importers for Canny and Nolt, plus CSV. - An MCP server for coding agents. - One script embeds chat, feedback, the roadmap and updates in your app. **Pricing:** A free plan, then Starter at $29 and Professional at $59 a month, with 14 days free before the first charge. From UserJot's pricing page, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - Ranking is votes plus trending and stale flags, with no scoring or revenue weighting. - One integration on Starter. Its pages name Slack, and don't list Linear or Jira. - SSO and removing branding are on Professional. - Live chat and Juno are in beta, without a price yet. **Compared with Canny:** a flat price with unlimited end users and unlimited team members, for teams that only need a portal, a roadmap and a changelog. ## 4. Frill Frill is a flat-priced feedback tool with ideas, a roadmap, announcements and surveys, all of which can be embedded in your product. **Best for:** Teams that want NPS and CSAT surveys next to their feedback board. **Standout features** - A prioritization matrix that plots ideas on benefit and cost, using your own factors, on every plan. - Smart Merge for duplicates, and similar ideas suggested as people type. - A roadmap per topic that emails voters when an idea ships, plus announcements. - NPS, CSAT and poll surveys. - An AI inbox in early access that pulls requests out of Slack, Jira and Linear, and an MCP server. **Pricing:** Startup is $25, Business $49, Growth $149 and Enterprise $349 a month, with a 14-day trial and no card. Paid plans include unlimited admins and end users. From Frill's pricing page, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - Startup stops at 50 ideas and one survey of each type. - Private boards and white labeling need Growth at $149, or an add-on. - Revenue isn't part of the ranking. - Its integrations page doesn't say whether Jira and Linear sync both ways. **Compared with Canny:** a flat price with unlimited end users, plus surveys Canny doesn't include. Canny has the longer integration list. ## 5. Upvoty Upvoty is a low-cost feedback board with a roadmap and a changelog, and one of the few at its price with two-way Linear sync. **Best for:** The lowest price with a custom domain and Linear sync. **Standout features** - Public or private boards with tags, custom fields and moderation. - Merge AI finds duplicates by meaning and can merge them automatically, with undo. - A roadmap, and a changelog that notifies voters. - Two-way Linear status sync on every plan. - User single sign-on that can pass each customer's plan and MRR, so you can filter feedback by them. **Pricing:** Power is $15, Super $25 and Hyper $49 a month, with 10% off yearly and a 14-day trial, no card. From Upvoty's pricing page, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - Ranking is votes and filters. No value and effort scoring is described. - The changelog and full integrations start on Super; SAML SSO and the API on Hyper. - One project on Power. **Compared with Canny:** far cheaper at any number of users, with a custom domain on every plan. [Upvoty vs Canny](https://feedovate.com/alternatives/upvoty-vs-canny). ## 6. Nolt Nolt is a clean, minimal feedback board with a roadmap and a changelog, priced by the number of boards. **Best for:** Small teams that want one simple, clean board. **Standout features** - Boards with custom fields, duplicate merging and moderation. - A Kanban view that turns feedback into tasks with assignees and deadlines. - A roadmap, and a changelog that can publish completed items automatically. - Single sign-on with your app's login on every plan, and hosting in Europe or globally. - Unlimited users, posts and admins on every plan. **Pricing:** Essential is $29 and Pro $69 a month billed yearly ($39 and $89 monthly), and Enterprise is custom. A 10-day trial of Pro, no card. From Nolt's pricing page, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - One board on Essential, five on Pro, unlimited only on Enterprise. - Jira and Linear need Pro. - No scoring or revenue-based ranking is described. **Compared with Canny:** a flat price by boards, with unlimited end users.

A 14-day trial with no card and no automatic charge. From FeedBear's pricing page, checked November 3, 2026. **Trade-offs** - Lite is one team member and one board, without a custom domain. - Jira receives ideas as issues; no two-way sync or Linear is stated. - SSO and branding removal start at Business. - Ranking is votes, sorted by priority. **Compared with Canny:** a flat price per project with unlimited end users, at a fraction of Canny's cost for one admin. ## 8. Productboard Productboard is a product management suite for teams of product managers: customer insights, a hierarchy from goals down to features, roadmaps and specs, and Spark, an AI agent. **Best for:** Product orgs with several PMs planning roadmaps across teams. **Standout features** - A customer insights repository where feedback links to feature ideas, with importance scores and segment views. - Spark writes voice-of-customer reports with citations, and drafts specs and release notes. - Roadmaps, strategy and specs in one place. - Up to two customer portals on Business. - More than 25 integrations, an API and an MCP server. **Pricing:** Business is $59 per maker a month billed yearly ($75 monthly), with five makers minimum, so $295 a month at least. Enterprise is priced on request. Both are sold after a demo. From Productboard's pricing page and help center, checked October 29, 2026. **Trade-offs** - No free plan or trial on the pricing page. Business starts with a demo request. - AI runs on credits, 500 per maker a month. When they run out, Spark pauses until renewal or a top-up. - Jira and Azure DevOps are capped at five connections on Business. Salesforce, SAML SSO and audit logs are Enterprise-only. - Linear isn't on the pricing page's integration list. **Compared with Canny:** a bigger, pricier planning suite.
