FeedValue vs Canny
Canny is a solid product with a pricing model that bites. Per-user pricing means your costs grow as engagement grows, and the Core plan auto-upgrades you from $99 to $400/mo when you hit limits.
TL;DR
Canny starts cheap but auto-upgrades from $99 to $400/mo when engagement grows. The $19/mo Core plan lacks integrations and API. FeedValue is $19-99/mo flat with no per-user fees. Canny wins on integrations and Autopilot AI; FeedValue wins on predictable pricing and simplicity.

The pricing reality
Canny's per-user pricing explained
Canny charges based on "tracked users" -- anyone who votes, comments, or submits feedback. This sounds reasonable until your product takes off:
- Free tier: 25 tracked users (basically a demo)
- Core ($19/mo): 100+ tracked users, but no integrations or API
- Pro ($79/mo): Where most teams land for Jira/Slack access
- Auto-upgrade trap: Hit your tracked user limit and Canny auto-upgrades your plan from $99 to $400/mo
- Business: Custom pricing, typically $5K-10K/year based on user reports
FeedValue's flat pricing
$19/mo Starter, $49/mo Pro, $99/mo Business. That's it. No per-user fees, no tracked user limits, no auto-upgrades. Webhooks and white-label are included at Pro, not locked behind enterprise pricing.
