Canny more or less defined the modern feedback board. So why do so many teams go looking for an alternative? Three reasons come up again and again.

Pricing scales with tracked users. Canny's Starter plan is $50 per month billed annually for up to 100 tracked users. The popular Growth plan starts around $79 per month and climbs steeply as more of your customers leave feedback, reaching several hundred dollars a month at a few hundred tracked users. Success literally raises your bill. The full breakdown is in Canny pricing explained.

Setup is a project. Canny's onboarding is lengthy and the dashboard has a steep learning curve. For a tool whose job is collecting feature requests, that is a lot of ceremony.

You may not need the breadth. Autopilot, integrations, roadmap suites. Great if you use them, dead weight on the invoice if you do not.

Here are the five alternatives worth your shortlist, with honest notes on who each one fits.

1. WishKit, best for iOS apps and lean SaaS teams

Full disclosure: WishKit is our product. It also happens to be the only tool on this list built with native Apple platforms as a first-class citizen.

WishKit gives you a feedback board with voting, comments, statuses, and duplicate merging. iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS and tvOS apps get a native SwiftUI SDK, websites embed the same board with two lines of HTML, and WishKit can even capture feature requests from posts on X. Setup takes about 100 seconds.

• Pricing: free plan, Premium at a flat $15/mo. No per-user or per-seat scaling.
• Pick it if: you want the feedback board without the platform, especially for an iOS app or a lean SaaS.
• Skip it if: you need deep enterprise integrations like Salesforce or Jira sync.

2. Featurebase, best for support and feedback in one

Featurebase bundles feedback boards, roadmaps, changelogs, surveys, a help center, and a support inbox with an AI agent. If you want one tool for support and product feedback, it is the strongest all-in-one on this list.

• Pricing: free plan, then $29 to $99 per seat per month, plus $0.29 per AI-resolved support conversation.
• Pick it if: your team will live in it daily and it replaces a support tool.
• Skip it if: you only need feedback, since per-seat pricing adds up fast. We broke this down in Featurebase pricing explained.

3. Sleekplan, best all-in-one on a budget

Sleekplan packs five modules into one widget: feedback board, roadmap, changelog, NPS surveys, and satisfaction tracking. It is a lot of surface area for the price.

• Pricing: free plan, paid from around $13/mo.
• Pick it if: you want changelog and NPS included without paying suite prices.
• Skip it if: you prefer a focused tool, since five modules means five things to configure. Here is our WishKit vs Sleekplan comparison.

4. Frill, best for clean and simple boards

Frill is a well-designed feedback board with ideas, roadmap, and announcements. It is praised for its UI and keeps admins unlimited on paid tiers, with surveys available as add-ons.

• Pricing: paid plans from around $25/mo with unlimited admins.
• Pick it if: you want a polished web widget and a bigger team managing feedback.
• Skip it if: the add-on structure bothers you or you need a native mobile SDK.

5. UserVoice, best for the enterprise

UserVoice is the veteran of the category and it targets large organizations with advanced analytics, integrations, and account management. There is no free plan and pricing is a custom quote.

• Pricing: custom quotes, generally cited in the hundreds per month.
• Pick it if: you are an enterprise with procurement requirements and a research team.
• Skip it if: you want to sign up and start today. Here is our WishKit vs UserVoice comparison.

How to choose

Start from the bill at scale, not the demo. Most feedback tools look similar in a demo. The differences show up six months in, when your user count has tripled. Flat pricing (WishKit, Sleekplan, Frill) keeps the bill predictable. Per-seat and per-tracked-user models (Featurebase, Canny) grow with you, which is fine as long as you go in with open eyes.

And since every tool here has a free plan or trial, the honest advice is to set up your top two picks side by side for a week. With WishKit that experiment costs you about 100 seconds of setup.
