Canny is a great product, but its bill grows every time more of your customers show up. If you're a bootstrapped or seed-stage SaaS, here's why founders are switching to Roadmaplane's flat pricing.
Canny's paid plan (Pro) opens at $99/mo, or $79/mo billed annually, for 100 *tracked users* — anyone who posts, votes, or comments. The catch is that the price climbs with engagement: roughly $129/mo at 200 tracked users, $279/mo at 500, and about $529/mo at 1,000. The better your board does, the more you pay — a line item that grows exactly when you're least able to predict it.
Roadmaplane charges a flat rate — from $19/mo — no matter how many customers post or vote. You get the full loop: board, roadmap, changelog, and voter email on ship, with AI duplicate detection included from the Growth plan. Your feedback tool shouldn't get more expensive just because more customers showed up.
Canny has a longer track record and a deeper enterprise integration catalog. If you need SAML SSO, advanced permissions, or a dedicated CSM today, Canny (or UserVoice) is the safer pick. For everyone shipping fast on a budget, Roadmaplane covers the 95% that matters.
Yes, and the gap widens as you grow. Roadmaplane is flat from $19/mo. Canny's Pro plan is $99/mo for 100 tracked users and scales up with engagement — roughly $279/mo at 500 tracked users and about $529/mo at 1,000. Flat pricing means your bill doesn't grow just because your board is working.
Import tooling is on the roadmap. In the meantime, most teams start fresh — a public board is cheap to seed with your top 10–20 known requests.
Both tools catch duplicates — Canny via its Autopilot features, Roadmaplane with AI that flags near-matches the moment a request is typed so votes consolidate instead of splitting. The difference is price: you get it from $39/mo (Growth) on flat pricing, not on a plan that scales with your user count.
