Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • Limited integrations on Core plan; must upgrade to Pro to connect with Jira and Linear
  • Lacks built-in analytics for identifying themes and patterns across hundreds of feedback requests without manual tagging
  • Customizations limited for public-facing interfaces regarding branding and information presentation
  • Autopilot AI cannot be linked to product knowledge bases to better understand products and improve function
  • Slow response times reported by users, affecting feedback management efficiency
  • Limited custom user fields and manual data updates require API access

Visor

  • Integrations are capped by plan, at 1 on free, 2 on Starter and 3 on Team, so connecting Jira, Salesforce and HubSpot together needs the top tier
  • Syncing is metered in credits, at 10,000 a month shared on free and 50,000 on Starter
  • Extra credits are sold in booster packs at $50 for 250,000
  • The free plan is limited to 2 workbooks and 5 users
  • The flat rate Business plan is $750 a month billed annually
