Canny alternative
A feedback board that does not get dearer as more people use it.
Canny Pro starts at $79 a month billed yearly and counts the people who give you feedback. Product Roadmap Pro is one licence on your own WordPress site, and it counts sites.

What the bill is counting
Their price follows your customers. Yours follows your sites.
A feedback tool priced by tracked users gets more expensive precisely when it starts working. Worth knowing exactly which meters are running before you pick one.
Three meters on a hosted board
-
The people who give you feedback
Canny defines a tracked user as anyone associated with feedback, so the meter turns when someone votes or comments. Pro starts at 100 of them and the chooser invites you to scale up as you get more users.
-
The people on your side of it
Managers are capped too: five on the free plan, ten on Pro, a conversation above that. Bringing a second product owner into the tool is a line item.
-
Parts of the portal itself
Private boards, a custom domain, removing the branding, translated content and custom statuses each sit behind a tier rather than a setting.
One meter on a licence
Sites
That is the whole of it. A licence covers one, five or unlimited sites, and nothing on the site counts anybody.
- Voters, commenters and people who suggest: not counted
- Admins and product owners: whatever roles you already have
- Boards, statuses, custom domain, your own branding: yours already
Where Canny is the better buy
Canny reads your support conversations and pulls feedback out of them, syncs an item to Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Asana, GitHub or Azure DevOps, signs people in through Okta or Entra ID, ties feedback to a HubSpot or Salesforce record, and carries SOC 2. This plugin does none of that, and pretending otherwise would waste your trial.
If your feedback arrives through Intercom and has to land in Jira, buy Canny. Their free plan covers 25 tracked users with unlimited boards, which is a real place to start.
The bridge, if you want one
Pro sends a signed webhook when an item changes status, takes a vote, takes a comment or receives a suggestion. Point it at whatever you already run and the same automations become possible, built rather than bought.
THREE YEARS OF VOTES
Three years on Canny Pro's entry price next to one lifetime license.
Canny Pro at its starting price of $79 a month billed yearly, from canny.io/pricing on 2026-09-18. More tracked users cost more. Hosting not counted.
One payment for five sites, any number of voters.
One payment for one site, any number of voters.
At Canny's entry price, one lifetime Pro license costs $2,645 less over three years. The gap widens once you pass 100 tracked users.

Questions from Canny customers
Can I import my Canny votes and comments?
No. Pro imports items from CSV: title, description, status, category, priority, target date and product. Vote counts, comments and voter accounts start fresh on your site.
Does the price change as more people vote?
No. Pro is licensed by site count: 1, 5 or unlimited sites. Voters, items and comments are not counted.
Do voters need an account?
Yes. Members vote and comment with their WordPress account on your site. With Pro, logged-out visitors can still submit ideas as guest suggestions.
Can I run separate boards for separate products?
Yes, with Pro. Each product gets its own roadmap and shortcode, and changelogs can be filtered by product.
Does it integrate with Jira, Linear or Slack?
Not directly. Pro sends signed webhooks for status changes, votes, comments and suggestions, which you can route to those tools through your own automation.
Can I make a board private?
Not yet. Boards are public. Canny Pro offers private boards, so keep that in mind if you need one.
What if Canny's free plan is enough?
If fewer than 25 people give feedback, Canny Free may suit you. Product Roadmap fits when you want the board on your own site and a price that ignores voter count.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Launch the live sandbox, vote, suggest and publish a changelog entry. Pro purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
