UserVoice is your alternative to Canny

Canny is a feedback board for collecting feature requests. UserVoice is customer intelligence. If your team is using Canny to manage feedback, you’re letting vote counts decide priorities that should be decided by revenue impact. Both tools cover feature request management; they differ on what happens after the votes come in.

There are a lot of problems to solve out there, and spending time on something that isn't the most impactful for our users is heartbreaking. UserVoice challenges me to look at the overall picture of the struggles that our customers as a whole.

UserVoice vs Canny — your questions, answered

Is UserVoice a good Canny alternative?

If you want feedback prioritized by revenue and account rather than vote counts alone — with AI analysis and enterprise security built in — UserVoice is designed for that. Canny is a feedback board well suited to collecting and voting on feature requests.

How does UserVoice pricing compare to Canny?

UserVoice pricing scales with your feedback volume and integrations rather than charging per seat; book a demo for a quote tailored to your team. Confirm Canny's current plans directly with their team, as pricing and packaging can change.

Can I bring over my existing Canny feedback and votes?

Yes. UserVoice imports ideas, votes, and voter history from CSV, up to 50,000 rows per file, so your Canny history comes with you. Our onboarding team can help with the import as part of getting started.

When should we choose UserVoice over Canny?

Teams typically move to UserVoice when vote counts stop being enough — when feedback needs to be tied to accounts and revenue, connected to CRM data, and reviewed under enterprise security requirements.

Is UserVoice secure enough for enterprise buying reviews?

Yes. SSO, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II certification are part of the core product, so security review is straightforward during procurement.
