Canny
Customer feedback and changelog platform that uses AI to cluster requests from sales and support conversations so product teams can prioritize what to build next.
Product teams that want a feedback board, public roadmap, and changelog with AI help reading sales and support conversations.
Teams that only need a minimal changelog widget, or buyers shopping for a full research repository or survey lab.
Verdict
Canny is a good fit when the bottleneck is turning customer requests into a prioritized roadmap. Practitioners like the feedback-to-changelog loop; buyers who only need a simple release widget may still prefer Frill.
