Why teams move on from Canny
Common frustrations we hear from teams making the switch.
Pricing that punishes growth
Canny starts at $360/month for basic features and scales sharply from there. Most teams find themselves paying enterprise prices before they've hit product-market fit.
Feedback board only — no roadmap, changelog, or widget
Canny collects feedback well, but that's where it stops. You still need separate tools for roadmapping, publishing release notes, and communicating updates inside your product.
Manual triage — zero AI
Canny gives you a raw list of feedback. Grouping, scoring, and summarizing is all manual. As request volume grows, so does the busywork — with no automation in sight.

One platform instead of four tools
Canny does feedback only. Kandidly includes feedback, roadmap, changelog, portal, and widget in one plan — no add-ons, no integration tax.

Kandidly scores every customer by unmet feature requests × MRR × sentiment, surfacing at-risk accounts before they churn.
Built-in in-app widget
Embed Kandidly's changelog and feedback widget into your product with one script tag. No separate tool, no extra cost.
