Why founders look for an alternative.
Canny charges per tracked user. At 500 voters, the plan in our comparison comes to roughly $279/mo. That is a real feedback suite, but it is a lot of software if all you need is a public board and a ranked list.
The alternatives split into two groups. Frill, Nolt and Upvoty charge a flat monthly price, usually starting between $15 and $39. Featurebase charges per seat. Zyloo charges $4/mo, or $39/yr, per workspace.
If your voters are anonymous and your team is one or two people, the per-user and per-seat models are usually the wrong shape. You are paying for seats or tracked users you do not have.
Who should stay with Canny?
Canny is the better fit if you want a mature feedback suite, integrations, and a vendor with a sales team. If your team already lives in Canny and the per-user bill is not the constraint, moving for price alone is not worth the migration.
