The short version

  • Only Canny has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Canny tracked user pricing model causes costs to balloon as product grows and engagement increases, creating perverse incentive where more successful feedback gathering means higher costs; Chorus.ai the Internet Archive's capture of Chorus.ai's homepage on 28 December 2019 named distinct product modules (Analytics, Mobile, Salesforce Integration, Zoom Integration, Permissions) but the product is sold only through a 'Request a Demo' flow with no price figure published; it has since been acquired by ZoomInfo.
  • They diverge on capability: Canny covers Feedback boards, Chorus.ai covers Call recording.
