# Canny

Feedback board with voting, roadmap and changelog, with a free plan for 25 tracked users.

82 points out of 100. #3 of 10 customer feedback tools. Vendor: Canny. Website: https://canny.io/

- The Free plan has no time limit and covers up to 25 tracked users [2].
- Pro costs $79 a month billed yearly ($99 billed monthly) for up to 100 tracked users [2].
- Custom domains are not included on Free [2][3].
- Free includes Slack, Intercom and Zendesk; Pro adds Jira and Zapier [2].
- Canny says it is SOC 2 certified, without naming Type I or Type II [13][14].

Verdict: Canny suits teams that want a voting board, public roadmap and changelog with a usable free tier [1][2][5][6]. The Free plan has no time limit, and Pro lists Jira and Zapier among its integrations [2]. The catch: Pro costs $79 a month, the price rises as tracked users grow, and Canny names SOC 2 without a type [2][14]. Best for: Product teams that want a voting board with many integrations.
