SIGNALOG VS CANNY

Canny organizes what users want. Signalog captures what users want, what's broken, and what shipped.

Canny is purpose-built for feature request voting boards. It does that job well. But most teams also need bug reporting, user feedback, and a way to announce what they actually shipped. Signalog does all of it. Canny does one part of it — for $79/month.

The Core Difference

Canny's job:

Collect and organize feature requests. Let users vote on them.

Canny is a feature request board.

Signalog's job:

Collect feature requests. Collect bug reports. Collect feedback. Publish changelogs. Close the loop — from request to shipped to notified.

Signalog is the complete feedback loop.

The $79/month Question

Canny costs $79/month minimum. That's $948/year. For feature request voting boards only.

With Signalog at $0:

  • You get feature request collection.
  • You also get bug reports.
  • You also get feedback.
  • You also get changelogs.
  • You also get reactions.

The Canny use case costs $79/month to solve one problem. Signalog solves that problem plus three more — for free.

When To Still Use Canny

Canny still makes sense if:

  • Your entire product strategy is driven by public voting boards
  • You have enterprise users who need to see the public roadmap
  • You need MRR-weighted prioritization (know which paying customers want what)
  • You need advanced user segmentation tied to your CRM

For these specific enterprise use cases, Canny is best in class. For everyone else — Signalog.

What Teams Say About Switching

"Canny was $79/month for a feature voting board. Signalog does that plus bug reports plus changelogs. We cancelled Canny the same day we installed Signalog."

"We didn't need a public voting board. We just needed to know what users wanted most. Signalog told us that — for free."

"The thing Canny can't do is tell me about bugs. Signalog captures everything in one place — what's broken, what's wanted, what we shipped."

The Bottom Line

Canny

Best-in-class feature request voting. $79/month minimum. No bug reports. Basic changelog. No feedback loop back to users.

Signalog

Feature requests + bug reports + feedback + changelog + reactions. $0/month forever. Full feedback loop.

If you need public voting boards with MRR weighting: use Canny.

If you need to understand your users and close the loop: use Signalog.

Most teams need the loop. Not the leaderboard.
