The best alternative to
Canny is here.
Canny gets you a feedback board. Sleekplan adds the satisfaction layer and unlimited tracked users on every plan, without the per-tracked-user tax.
Canny Alternatives
Canny's free plan stops at 25 tracked users, and its first paid plan, Pro, costs $79/month billed yearly for 100 tracked users, with the bill growing as more people post, vote or comment. Sleekplan's free plan has unlimited tracked users, and paid plans start at $13/month billed yearly. Prices checked .
Canny is one of the most well-known product feedback tools. It does feature voting, roadmap, and changelog in a clean package. The per-tracked-user pricing and Canny not listing NPS and CSAT surveys mean a lot of teams quickly outgrow it. This page covers the strongest Canny alternatives and exactly where Sleekplan goes further.
Who should switch from Canny, and who should stay
Stay on Canny if a voting board, a roadmap and a changelog are all you need and your user count is small and stable. Look for a Canny alternative when the bill starts tracking your growth instead of your usage, when you want NPS and CSAT surveys that Canny does not list, or when you need unlimited tracked users without moving to a sales-quoted plan. The list further down covers the other tools teams compare with Canny, with the reason each one comes up.
Canny Pricing
Canny has three plans. Free covers 25 tracked users. Pro costs $79/month billed yearly, or $99 billed monthly, and starts at 100 tracked users. Business is quoted by sales and is the only plan with unlimited tracked users. A tracked user is anyone who posts, votes or comments, so the more your customers engage, the more you pay: when you pass your limit, Canny moves you up automatically unless you set a spend limit.

Best-in-class Canny Alternative: Sleekplan!
Both tools give you a voting board, a roadmap, a changelog and an in-app widget. The difference is what happens as you grow: Canny's price follows your tracked-user count, unlimited tracked users need its custom-quoted Business plan, and NPS and CSAT surveys are not on its feature list. The table starts with what both do, then lists what Sleekplan adds. Prices checked 2026-09-20.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Designed for product managers, Sleekplan is an all-in-one feedback platform, not a single-purpose voting board glued to a changelog.
A bill that ignores your user count.
Canny counts everyone who posts, votes or comments. Sleekplan charges per workspace, so a popular board does not raise the invoice.
See pricingScores next to the feedback that explains them.
Canny does not list NPS or CSAT surveys. In Sleekplan they live in the same workspace as your feedback board, and you can slice the scores by plan, MRR or segment.

Canny alternatives worth a look
Sleekplan comes first, since you are on our site. The others are here because a fair comparison needs them.
- 01Sleekplan
Feedback board, roadmap, changelog, NPS and CSAT in one workspace. Unlimited tracked users on every plan, a free plan, and paid plans from $13 a month billed yearly.
- 02UserEcho + alternativesfrom $19/month per agent, billed yearly
UserEcho bundles the voting board into a full help desk with tickets and live chat, so if the appeal of Canny was a lean, focused board, UserEcho asks you to run a bigger platform, not a smaller one. It bills per support agent instead of per tracked user, which can cost less than Canny for a team with many voters and few agents.
- 03Hotjar
Hotjar turns up on Canny alternative lists from an older, broader reading of "feedback tool", but since Contentsquare absorbed the brand, hotjar.com/pricing redirects straight to Contentsquare's own plans, and neither plan lists a voting board, a public roadmap or a changelog. Pick it if you actually want heatmaps and session replay instead of what Canny does, not as a smaller Canny.
- 04UserVoice + alternatives
Teams rarely move from Canny to UserVoice to save money: UserVoice publishes no prices and is sold through a demo, scaled to your feedback volume. It comes up when a larger B2B team wants requests ranked by CRM-connected revenue data out of the box, a step beyond the MRR-impact sort and voter segments Canny offers on its own board.
- 05Upvoty + alternativesfrom $15/month, billed monthly
Upvoty is the closest like-for-like swap for Canny's voting board, and it starts cheaper: its entry Power plan is $15/month with unlimited tracked users included from day one, against Canny's 25-tracked-user cap on its free plan. What you give up is the same gap: like Canny, Upvoty does not list NPS or CSAT surveys.
- 06FeatureOS + alternativesfrom $60/month
FeatureOS is the fuller-featured jump from Canny, adding a knowledge base Canny doesn't have, but there is no free plan at any tier, only a 30-day trial, where Canny's Free plan runs indefinitely up to 25 tracked users. It also meters seats and boards separately, so the bill grows on two axes instead of Canny's one.
- 07Featurebase + alternativesfrom $29/seat/month, billed yearly
Featurebase looks like Canny's feature set plus a full support inbox, and its Free plan is more generous than Canny's: one seat gets the whole board, roadmap and changelog. Past that seat it bills per admin rather than per tracked user, the opposite axis from Canny's pricing.
- 08Nolt + alternativesfrom $29/month, billed yearly
Nolt is Canny's closest rival for pure simplicity: a board and a roadmap are the whole product, and neither its features page nor its pricing page lists NPS or CSAT surveys. It has no free plan at all, unlike Canny's free tier for up to 25 tracked users, and it charges per board rather than per tracked user: one board is $29/month billed yearly, a second board means the next tier.
- 09Mopinion from €279/month
Mopinion isn't really a Canny alternative in the way the others on this list are: it's a survey and CX feedback platform (in-app polls, NPS-style forms) whose feature list doesn't include a voting board, roadmap or changelog, the opposite gap from Canny not listing NPS and CSAT. It's priced by a channel-and-volume calculator starting from €279/month, nothing like Canny's flat tracked-user tiers.
- 10Pendo.io
Pendo already ships a roadmap and NPS surveys branded as its own, the two things Canny's page doesn't list, but you won't find a published price to compare: only the free tier (500 monthly active users) has a number, and every paid tier above it is a custom quote.
- 11Fider free, self-hosted
Fider is the usual answer when the objection to Canny is paying per tracked user at all: it is open source and you host it yourself, so tracked users cost nothing beyond your own server. You trade the bill for running and updating that server, and Fider's feature list does not include a roadmap, changelog or survey module, so it is a straight swap for Canny's board alone.
- 12Aha! + alternativesfrom $39/user/month, billed yearly, 3-user minimum
Aha! Ideas is the enterprise step up from Canny: its Advanced tier adds proxy voting for large B2B teams, but it prices per user with a 3-seat minimum, so a small team pays more than it would tracking the same users on Canny's free plan. Ideas Essentials starts at $39/user/month billed yearly, Advanced at $59.
- 13Beamer + alternativesfrom $49/month, billed yearly
Beamer is built around the changelog widget, the one piece Canny treats as equal to the board and roadmap rather than the whole product. Its free plan's NPS is capped at 500 in-app surveys a month with 90-day history; going further, or adding email and link delivery, needs a $99/month add-on, where Canny does not list NPS or CSAT surveys at all.
- 14UseResponse from $49/agent/month
UseResponse folds the voting board into a support suite with ticketing, live chat and a knowledge base, so it competes with a bigger stack than Canny is. There's no lasting free plan, cloud starts at $49/agent/month, and self-hosting (the option Canny customers usually ask for) costs more, not less: $120/agent/month with a 5-agent minimum.
