Canny alternative

Canny's roadmap, without the standalone roadmap bill.

Canny does one job well: collect feature requests, let customers vote, post a public roadmap. The issue is that's a $79/mo+ bill on top of every other tool (annual plans start lower but Pro runs $200–$299/mo). Yaplet ships the same public roadmap as one of 13 bundled tools.

  • Public roadmap with voting, statuses and changelog — included
  • No starter tier paywall — admins, voters and submissions are unlimited on free
  • Linked to your live chat, AI agent and knowledge base — one product
  • EU-hosted, GDPR by default

Roadmap that talks to your inbox

Feature requests in the same place as the tickets that triggered them

Canny is a great product, but it lives on its own island. Customers vote in Canny, complain in Intercom, and the two never talk. In Yaplet, a customer can flag a request from inside a chat — it lands on the roadmap with the conversation attached.

  • Convert a chat or ticket into a roadmap entry in one click
  • Vex AI groups duplicate requests so you see real demand, not noise
  • Tag, status, comment and ship — without copy-pasting between tools
Roadmap that talks to your inbox

Close the feedback loop

Ship a feature, notify everyone who asked for it

When a request goes from "Planned" to "Shipped", Yaplet emails everyone who voted, mentions them in the changelog, and lets you announce the feature in-app and via newsletter — all from the same tool.

  • Auto-notify voters when a request changes status
  • Built-in changelog with markdown, images and video
  • Trigger in-app banners and newsletter to announce big releases

Talk to a real person

We can scope your migration in 15 minutes.

Yes. Export your Canny posts as CSV (or via their API) and we can help bulk-import them into Yaplet boards, including titles, descriptions, statuses, votes and voter emails.

No. Public roadmap voting works with just an email, or via SSO if you have it. Same UX as Canny.

We can map a custom domain to your Yaplet roadmap (e.g. roadmap.yourcompany.com). Existing Canny URLs can be redirected at the DNS level.

Canny is the deepest standalone roadmap tool, with Autopilot AI included on all plans. If roadmap is the only job-to-be-done and you need every advanced feature (custom segments, OKR linking, complex permission models), Canny may still be the right fit.

Vex AI groups similar requests across boards so you see real demand. It's not magic — but it saves the manual de-duplication work that grows with every successful product.

Same principle applies. If you're paying for any standalone roadmap tool while also paying for support tools, Yaplet replaces both line items with one. Drop us a chat for a side-by-side.
