Canny alternative
Free Canny Alternative for Public Feedback and Roadmaps
Canny is the best-known feature request tool, but per-tracked-user pricing is a lot to pay when all you need is a public board, a roadmap and release notes. Every product listed on TechLogHub gets those three for free, on a page developers already browse.
What you get on TechLogHub
Feedback board
Users post feature requests, bug reports and questions, upvote what matters to them, and comment. You reply officially from your dashboard.
Public roadmap
Statuses — open, planned, in progress, shipped, declined — become the roadmap swimlanes. Change a status and the roadmap updates.
Changelog
Publish versioned releases (major, minor, patch) with release notes on your listing, so users see what shipped and when.
Polls
Ask a focused question — which integration next, which pricing model — and get a vote count instead of a thread.

Choose TechLogHub if…
- You want a public feedback board and roadmap without a monthly bill.
- Your users are developers, and being discoverable to them matters.
- You're an indie maker, open-source maintainer or early-stage SaaS.
- You want feedback, roadmap and release notes on one public page.
Stay with Canny (or similar) if…
- You need an in-app widget that identifies logged-in users.
- Requests must flow into Jira, Linear, Slack or your CRM automatically.
- You need private boards, SSO or revenue-weighted prioritisation.
- The board must live on your own domain with your branding only.
Set it up in three steps
- Submit your product (or claim it if it's already listed).
- Post your top open requests so the board isn't empty on day one, and set their statuses so the roadmap fills in.
- Link the board from your app's help menu, docs and README, and publish your next release on the listing.
Canny alternative FAQ
Straight answers on what the free board does and doesn't do
Is TechLogHub a full replacement for Canny?
No, and it isn't trying to be. TechLogHub gives every listed product a public feedback board, a status-driven roadmap, polls and a changelog for free. Canny is a dedicated feedback platform with an in-app widget, integrations with tools like Jira, Linear and Slack, private boards, SSO and user segmentation. If you need those, Canny or another dedicated tool is the better fit.
Who is the TechLogHub feedback board a good fit for?
Indie makers, open-source maintainers and small SaaS teams who want a public place to collect feature requests and bug reports, show what's planned, and publish release notes — without paying per tracked user or wiring up another SaaS. Because the board lives on your product listing, developers who discover your product on TechLogHub can vote and comment in the same place.
How much does it cost?
Listing a product on TechLogHub is free, and the feedback board, roadmap, polls and releases come with the listing. Paid options exist only for featured placement. Canny's pricing changes over time and depends on tracked users, so check canny.io/pricing for current numbers.
How do I move my existing feature requests over?
There is no automated Canny import today. Most teams start fresh: post the top 10–20 open requests from your current board, link the new board from your app and docs, and let users re-vote. Keeping a link back to the old board for a few weeks avoids losing history.
Does changing a request's status update the roadmap?
Yes. The roadmap on your listing is the board grouped by status, so moving a request from open to planned, in progress or shipped moves it on the public roadmap immediately.
