- Free forever
- Unlimited users
- MIT licensed

Why teams switch from Canny.
Canny is a good product. But since 2025 it meters by tracked user, and its code is closed. If either of those stings, here's the honest case for switching.
$0 instead of a meter that grows with you
Canny's Pro plan is $79/month for 100 tracked users and $529/month at 1,000 — the better your feedback program works, the more you pay. Feedbackland's hosted platform is free forever: every feature, unlimited users, no meter.
MIT, not proprietary
Canny's code is closed. All of Feedbackland is MIT-licensed on GitHub — read it, audit it, fork it, ship your own version. What we run is exactly what you get.
A ranked roadmap Canny doesn't have
Insights reads every post, merges duplicates, and ranks the underlying themes by reach, momentum, severity, and effort. Canny's Autopilot captures and de-duplicates; it doesn't tell you what to build next.
No seat caps, ever
Canny's Pro plan caps team seats. Feedbackland has no tiers to begin with — invite your whole team and all of your end-users.

Migrating from Canny.
Moving off Canny doesn't have to hurt. Export your posts, push them through Feedbackland's API, and you're live — most teams do it in an afternoon. Comments and votes don't carry over yet.

Import posts through the API
Feedbackland exposes a public endpoint for creating posts. A short script — any language, one request per post — brings your board across. Comments and vote counts don't import yet.

Flip the switch
Point your users at the new board and drop the widget into your app. Insights regenerates from the imported posts on its first run.
