Feature request board alternative

The Best Canny Alternative for Small Business

Canny is a voting board for your product's logged-in users, priced per tracked user - so cost scales against engagement. FeedSolve is the opposite design: zero-login submission from any stakeholder, flat pricing regardless of how many people submit.

Quick answer

Choose Canny if you are a SaaS company that needs a public roadmap with feature voting for logged-in users. Choose FeedSolve if feedback comes from people who will never create an account - customers, suppliers, distributors, staff - and each item needs resolution, not votes.

Why teams look elsewhere

Why businesses seek a Canny alternative

Accounts are a wall

Canny's model assumes the submitter logs in - reasonable for SaaS users, fatal for everyone else. A supplier flagging a delivery problem or a diner reporting a cold meal will not create an account. FeedSolve is zero-login by design: scan, type, submit, get a tracking code.

Per-tracked-user pricing punishes growth

Canny charges by tracked users, so the more feedback you gather, the more you pay. FeedSolve charges flat by tier - 50 submissions or 5,000, same bill.

One audience vs many

Canny serves one audience: your product's users. FeedSolve gives each stakeholder type its own board - customer complaints, supplier issues, staff suggestions - each with its own QR code and resolution workflow.

Common questions

Canny alternative - FAQ

What is the best Canny alternative for non-SaaS businesses?

FeedSolve. Canny's account-based voting model fits SaaS products; it does not fit restaurants, manufacturers, logistics firms, or anyone whose feedback comes from people who will never log in. FeedSolve's zero-login QR/link intake and per-item resolution workflow are built for exactly those businesses.

Why does Canny get expensive?

Canny prices by tracked users, so successful feedback programs cost more every month. FeedSolve's plans are flat ($19–79/month) regardless of how many people submit - engagement is free.

Does FeedSolve have feature voting?

No. FeedSolve is a resolution platform, not a prioritization board - each submission is an item to be assigned, worked, and closed with the submitter notified. If you need public voting on a SaaS roadmap, Canny or Upvoty fit that job better.

Do FeedSolve submitters need accounts?

Never. Submission is via QR code or link with no login, and submitters track status with their #FSV-XXXX code on a public tracking page. That single design choice removes the biggest source of feedback drop-off.

Ready for feedback that actually gets resolved?

QR-first intake, tracking codes, and a resolution workflow. Free to start - no sales call.
