The Canny alternative that doesn't charge per tracked user
Canny's pricing scales with every user who interacts with your board. VoteShip gives you flat pricing from $0/mo with AI built in — not locked behind enterprise tiers.
Common Canny frustrations
Here's what teams tell us when they switch from Canny to VoteShip.
Canny charges based on tracked users. The more people engage with your board, the more you pay — up to $311+/mo for just 5,000 users.
Canny's AI features like Autopilot and smart replies are only available on their Business plan ($311/mo). VoteShip includes AI on all plans.
Canny requires you to contact support to cancel your subscription. VoteShip lets you manage everything from your dashboard.
Custom domains, removal of Canny branding, and private boards require their Growth plan ($79/mo). VoteShip includes branding removal on Starter ($5/mo).
