Open-source Canny alternative
The free, open-source Canny alternative.
Feedbackland does what Canny does — public boards, upvotes, comments, status tracking — plus an AI-generated roadmap Canny doesn't have. One price: $0, forever. MIT-licensed, hosted or self-hosted.
- Free forever
- MIT licensed
- No user limits
- Self-hostable
Why teams switch from Canny.
Canny is a good product. But its pricing meters by user and its code is closed. If any of that stings, here's the honest case for switching.
$0 instead of $99+/mo
Canny's paid plans start around $99/month and cost more as you add people. Feedbackland's hosted platform is free forever — every feature included, unlimited users.
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.
An AI roadmap Canny doesn't have
Feedbackland reads every post, clusters duplicates automatically, and ranks them by reach, momentum, severity, and effort. Your roadmap maintains itself — no manual triage meetings.
No seat meters, ever
Invite your whole team and all of your end-users. There are no per-user fees because there are no paid tiers at all.
