All alternatives

A lighter Canny alternative.

Teams go looking for a Canny alternative when a public voting board is more than they want to run: it needs moderation, the roadmap becomes a public promise, and tracked-user pricing climbs as engagement grows. Sometimes you just want to capture feedback in your app and act on it quietly.

Why teams pick Say So instead

How feedback is collected

Say So puts a button inside your app. Feedback is left in context — the exact page URL, an optional screenshot, and the identified user ride along automatically — and nothing is public.

Triage and closing the loop

Say So triages privately. New feedback posts to Slack with status buttons; anyone on the team can update it from the channel, and the person who left it gets an email when it changes — no public roadmap required. Slack is free.

Footprint and time-to-value

Say So is one tiny vanilla script in a Shadow DOM — no dependencies, no CSS collisions, live the same afternoon.

Best for teams that want…

  • Teams that want feedback captured in-app, in context
  • Anyone who'd rather triage privately than run a public board
  • Teams that live in Slack and want to close the loop by email
  • Products that want feedback live the same day, with no platform to learn
When to stay on Canny: Say So is deliberately not a roadmap product. It has no public voting boards, no public roadmap, no changelog, and no vote-based prioritization. If a public, user-facing roadmap is the point, Canny is the better fit — and we'd tell you so. See the full Say So vs Canny comparison →

Making the move

There’s nothing to migrate to get started. Create a project, paste one <script> tag, and you’re collecting feedback — usually within a minute. Keep Canny running in parallel while you try Say So, then switch when it feels right.

Good questions

Things people ask.

Is Say So a good Canny alternative?

If you want in-app feedback capture and private triage with a free Slack loop, yes. If you specifically need a public voting board and roadmap, Say So isn't a replacement — and we'll say so plainly.

How hard is it to move from Canny?

There's nothing to migrate to get started — drop one script tag and you're collecting feedback. Keep your Canny board running in parallel while you try Say So, then switch when you're ready.
