Canny alternative

ReleaseDock, the Canny alternative that bundles support, AI, and a changelog without per-user scaling

Canny is a polished feedback, roadmap, and changelog platform, now priced on usage: free up to a small number of tracked users, then plans that scale as you collect feedback from more of them. ReleaseDock is a different shape. The changelog is one surface inside a bundle that also includes a support inbox, an AI agent, and a knowledge base, all on flat monthly plans. The honest split: if public feature voting and roadmaps are the heart of what you need, Canny does more there. If you want a changelog plus real support and AI without a bill that climbs with tracked users, ReleaseDock is the leaner buy.

Where ReleaseDock wins

  • A real support inbox and AI agent alongside the changelog, which Canny does not offer.
  • A knowledge base with hosted pages included in the same plan.
  • Four surfaces in one widget rather than a single feedback-and-changelog tool.
  • A free plan to start, with one script tag to go live.

Where Canny wins

  • Public feedback boards with voting, the heart of Canny, which ReleaseDock does not ship today.
  • A mature roadmap that turns feedback into a public plan.
  • A changelog tightly integrated with the feedback-and-roadmap loop, so updates link back to requests.
  • Established integrations with tools like Linear, Jira, and Intercom around the feedback workflow.
  • Years of refinement on the feedback-management experience.

ReleaseDock vs Canny pricing

ReleaseDock charges a flat plan price no matter how many people see your changelog; Canny's plans are usage-based on tracked users, so the bill grows as you collect feedback from more of them.

Moving from Canny

ReleaseDock does not import from Canny, and it does not replace feedback boards or roadmaps, so weigh that gap first. If you mainly use Canny for its changelog, you can rebuild that in ReleaseDock's editor and gain a support inbox, AI agent, and knowledge base in the same plan. Recreate any help content via Markdown or a bulk zip import, and install the widget with one script tag.

Canny alternative, common questions

Is ReleaseDock a replacement for Canny?

Partly. ReleaseDock matches Canny on the public changelog and adds a support inbox, AI agent, and knowledge base. It does not ship feedback boards, voting, or roadmaps, so if those are central to your workflow, Canny still does more there.

Is ReleaseDock cheaper than Canny?

It can be, especially at scale. ReleaseDock's plans are flat at $29.99 or $49.99 per month, while Canny's are usage-based on tracked users and rise as you collect feedback from more people. If your tracked-user count is high, the gap favors ReleaseDock.

Does ReleaseDock have feedback boards and a roadmap?

Not today. ReleaseDock focuses on support, AI, knowledge base, and changelog. Feedback boards and roadmaps are the part of Canny that ReleaseDock does not replace yet.

Can I move my Canny changelog to ReleaseDock?

There is no automated importer, but you can rebuild the changelog in ReleaseDock's editor and recreate any help content via Markdown or a bulk zip import. The widget installs with one script tag.
