Why do teams switch from Canny?

Mostly pricing. Canny counts anyone with a post, vote, or comment as a tracked user and raises your price automatically when you pass a tier (Canny Help Center). Pro goes from $79/month billed yearly at 100 tracked users to $529/month at 1,000. Removing "Powered by Canny" is an add-on on the quote-only Business plan, and Pro includes 10 Owner/Manager seats. For teams that don't need SAML SSO or CRM sync, a flat-priced tool takes growing engagement off the bill.

Is there a free Canny alternative?

Peeqback isn't free: it costs $19/month or $149 once, with a 7-day money-back guarantee. Free options exist. Canny's own free plan covers 25 tracked users, Featurebase's free plan covers one admin seat and one board without the in-app widget, and open-source Fider is free if you host it yourself. Past 25 tracked users, Canny's next plan is Pro at $79/month billed yearly ($99 monthly).

Can I migrate from Canny to Peeqback?

Yes. Export your Canny posts as CSV (Canny supports this from the admin panel), then upload the file in Peeqback's self-serve Canny importer under Settings — up to 5,000 rows per import. Statuses, vote counts, and original submission dates carry over, and Canny categories map to Peeqback boards. Voter identities and comments are not imported. For larger or unusual accounts, email support@peeqback.com and we'll help with the move.

What does Canny do that Peeqback doesn't?

SAML SSO, audit logs, RICE / impact-effort prioritization scoring, two-way Salesforce and HubSpot sync, custom domains, dedicated customer success managers, and signed SLAs. If any of those are required for your team, Canny is the correct choice. If none of them are, you are paying for capabilities you will not use.

Is Peeqback cheaper than Canny at every scale?

At every paid Canny tier, yes. Canny is free up to 25 tracked users; Pro then runs from $79/month billed yearly ($99 monthly) at 100 tracked users to $1,079/month billed yearly ($1,349 monthly) at 5,000 (canny.io/pricing, September 24, 2026). Peeqback is $19/month or $149 once, regardless of how many people vote or submit requests. If you stay under 25 tracked users, Canny's free plan is cheaper; beyond that, Peeqback's lifetime plan pays back against Canny Pro in under two months.

Does Peeqback support custom branding like Canny does?

Yes — pick one of seven brand colors, upload a logo, and hide the "Powered by Peeqback" footer, all included. Your board runs on a yourname.peeqback.com subdomain. Custom domains are on the roadmap, and there is no custom CSS. On Canny, custom domains require Pro and removing "Powered by Canny" is a paid add-on on Business only.

The details

Pricing is the largest practical difference. Canny is free up to 25 tracked users; its Pro plan then scales with "tracked users" — $79/month billed yearly ($99 monthly) at 100, $279 ($349) at 500, $529 ($661) at 1,000, and $1,079 ($1,349) at 5,000, with Pro capped at 10 managers (canny.io/pricing, checked September 24, 2026). Business is custom-priced for 5,000+ tracked users; removing "Powered by Canny" is a paid add-on available only on Business, and custom domains require Pro. Peeqback charges $19/month flat or $149 once for lifetime access — no per-seat, per-vote, or per-MAU scaling, unlimited team seats, and no add-ons for Slack, Discord, or email notifications. The lifetime plan pays back the monthly subscription at month eight. For a SaaS with 1,000 tracked users, Canny Pro costs $6,348/year billed yearly ($7,932 monthly) versus $228/year on Peeqback — a saving of roughly $6,100–$7,700/year. Under 25 tracked users, Canny's free plan costs nothing; past that, the gap is about one paying customer per month.

The overview

How they compare at a glance

Peeqback and Canny are both user-feedback platforms that combine a voting board, a public roadmap, and a changelog, but they target different segments of the market. Canny is the more mature product — founded in 2017, used by mid-market and enterprise product teams, and priced on a per-tracked-user model: free up to 25 tracked users, then Pro from $79/month billed yearly ($99 monthly) at 100 tracked users up to $1,079/month billed yearly ($1,349 monthly) at 5,000. Peeqback is newer, intentionally narrower in scope, and priced flat at $19/month or $149 for lifetime access regardless of how many users vote or submit feedback. The two products overlap on the core jobs-to-be-done — collect feature requests, let users vote, communicate progress — but diverge sharply on pricing model, depth of prioritization frameworks, enterprise readiness, and whether the platform is worth installing for a solo founder collecting their first hundred votes versus a 200-person product organization.

Side by side

Feature comparison

Both tools cover the core feedback loop: submission forms, voting, status tracking, public roadmap, and changelog. Canny's depth advantage shows up in enterprise features — SAML SSO, audit logs, advanced spam filters, prioritization frameworks (impact/effort scoring, RICE), Salesforce and HubSpot two-way sync, custom domains, dedicated CSMs, and signed SLAs. Peeqback covers the founder-grade essentials in one flat plan: an embeddable widget, a public board with your logo and brand color, a drag-and-drop Kanban board across six statuses, a changelog that emails board subscribers, a one-click email to everyone who asked when you mark a request complete, Slack and Discord webhooks, Owner/Admin/Member/Viewer roles, internal team comments, a self-serve Canny CSV importer plus CSV export, and merge-duplicate-requests. Peeqback deliberately omits SAML SSO, audit logs, prioritization scoring, and CRM sync. If those are required, Canny is the correct choice; if they are not, the second tier of features rarely justifies the price differential for teams under fifty.

The honest answer

Which should you choose?

Choose Peeqback if you are a solo founder, indie hacker, or product team under fifty people who needs a feedback board, public roadmap, and changelog at a predictable flat price, and you do not require SAML SSO, audit logs, prioritization frameworks, or CRM integrations. The $149 lifetime plan pays back in under two months against Canny Pro's lowest tier ($79–$99/month). Choose Canny if you are a mid-market or enterprise product organization that already runs RICE/ICE prioritization, needs Salesforce or HubSpot two-way sync, requires SAML SSO and audit logs for security review, needs your own custom domain, has a procurement process that wants signed SLAs, or has more than ~1,000 tracked users where Canny's pricing is still defensible against the additional capability. If you have fewer than 25 tracked users, Canny's free plan is the cheapest option. The decision is rarely about features at the founder tier — it is almost entirely about pricing model and organizational maturity.

FAQ

Canny alternative: common questions

It depends on why you're leaving Canny. If the tracked-user bill is the problem, pick a flat-priced tool: Peeqback is $19/month or $149 once with unlimited voters and team seats, and it imports your Canny CSV. If you need a free plan, Featurebase has one for a single admin seat and one board. If you need SAML SSO, CRM sync, or RICE scoring, Canny is still the stronger product. Our guide to Canny alternatives for indie hackers compares seven options, including self-hosted Fider.
