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; Kapta the Internet Archive's capture of Kapta's pricing page on 14 October 2019 listed Team at $2,000 per month billed annually (10 account managers, 10 contributors, 50 customer accounts), Professional at $5,000 per month (25/25/250), and Enterprise by contact only; the 14-day free trial excludes refunds after purchase per the page's FAQ.
  • They diverge on capability: Canny covers Feedback boards, Kapta covers Account planning.
