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; Funnel.io available connectors are gated by plan, at 113 on Starter against 579 on Business, so which sources can be used depends on the tier rather than on need
  • They diverge on capability: Canny covers Feedback boards, Funnel.io covers Multi-channel data aggregation.
