10 Best Canny Alternatives for Feature Requests

The quick answer

Quick answer: the most direct Canny alternatives are Featurebase (feedback, roadmap and changelog bundled with a helpdesk, from $29 per seat a month billed yearly), Frill (flat plans from $25 a month with unlimited tracked users) and Nolt (from $29 a month with unlimited users). For a free start, Sleekplan has a free-forever plan with a feedback board and changelog, and Fider is open source. Upvoty is the lowest-cost paid board at $15 a month. If feature voting should feed a full product management tool, Productboard has a free plan and portals on its paid tiers. Savio, FeatureOS (formerly Hellonext) and UserVoice suit teams that collect feedback from sales and support as well as users. Prices are as of October 2026, checked on each vendor's own site.

What Canny offers, and why teams look elsewhere

Canny's plans as of October 2026: Free (25 tracked users, 5 managers), Pro starting at $79 a month billed yearly (from 100 tracked users), and custom Business (from 5,000 tracked users). Every plan includes unlimited feedback, boards and contributors, a changelog and private boards. Pro adds custom domains, user segmentation and integrations with Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Asana, GitHub and Azure DevOps; SSO and CRM integrations are Business features.

The main reason teams look elsewhere is the pricing model. Canny bills on tracked users, meaning anyone associated with feedback, including users its Autopilot AI captures from support conversations. If you pass your tier's limit without a spend cap, Canny upgrades you to the next tier automatically. Teams with large user bases often prefer flat or seat-based pricing.

How to choose a Canny alternative

Decide how you want to pay first: per seat (Featurebase, Productboard), flat per plan (Frill, Nolt, Upvoty, FeatureOS) or free and self-hosted (Fider). Then check whether you need the changelog in the same tool; if so, Featurebase, Frill, Sleekplan, Upvoty and FeatureOS include one, and our changelog tools list covers standalone options. For broader feedback collection (surveys, NPS and in-app prompts), see our SaaS feedback tools roundup and customer feedback tools list.

Voting boards capture what users ask for; in-app surveys capture what they feel at a specific moment. PLG OS offers in-app feedback components, such as inline feedback and feature usage surveys, for that second job.
