The short version

  • 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; Dreamdata company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution
  • They diverge on capability: Canny covers Feedback boards, Dreamdata covers Multi-touch attribution.

Dreamdata
