# Relnotely vs Canny

Canny's pricing page lists a free plan with 25 tracked users and Pro from $79 a month billed yearly, for feedback management with a changelog included. Relnotely is a changelog only, at $19 a month.

Canny and Relnotely overlap on one feature. Canny's pricing page describes a feedback product — capture, deduplication, boards, roadmaps — with a changelog in its feature table; Relnotely is only the changelog.

This page is written by Relnotely. Everything stated here about Canny is taken from [Canny's own pricing page](https://canny.io/pricing), read on **22 September 2026**. Prices and plans change; check theirs before deciding, and tell us if anything here is out of date.

## What Canny's pricing page listed on 22 September 2026

- **Free: $0 a month,** with 25 tracked users, automatic feedback capture and unlimited feedback.
- **Pro: starts at $79 a month, billed yearly,** with 100 or more tracked users, project-management integrations and advanced privacy. The page offers 20% off for yearly billing.
- **Business: priced on request,** with 5,000 or more tracked users, SSO and CRM integrations.
- **Plans are sized by tracked users,** which the page defines as any user associated with feedback.
- The feature table lists, among much else, a changelog, custom domains, "Remove branding", user segmentation, a feedback portal with unlimited boards, and integrations with Jira, Linear, Slack, Intercom and Zendesk. Which plan includes each is shown in their table; we have not reproduced it here.

## What Relnotely includes

One plan, $19 a month:

- Your changelog on your own domain, an in-app widget, and email to subscribers who confirm their address.
- A page of its own for every entry, and an Atom feed.
- Import from a feed, a CSV or a `CHANGELOG.md`.
- No Relnotely badge, watermark or "powered by" link on your changelog, on any plan. Our name appears in one place: the small print under the subscribe form, which says who stores an address entered there, and the footer's links to our privacy policy and terms for the same reason.
- No third-party scripts on your changelog.

Writing is free and needs no card; publishing starts a 7-day trial. One login per account, and one changelog.

## Where Canny may suit you better

- **Feedback is the job.** Capturing, deduplicating and prioritising requests is what their plans are built around, and Relnotely does none of it.
- **You want the changelog tied to the requests it answers,** so people who asked for something hear when it ships.
- **You need integrations** with Jira, Linear, Intercom, Zendesk or a CRM, all listed on their page.
- **You can start on their free plan,** which their page lists with 25 tracked users.

## Our view

Opinion, not a claim about Canny: if you need feedback management, buy feedback management, and the changelog that comes with it may well be enough. If what you need is a changelog that looks like part of your own site, on your domain, read by people who never gave feedback, a tool that does only that is simpler and costs less than a suite's paid tier.

## Moving from Canny

Relnotely imports a changelog from an RSS or Atom feed, a CSV export or a `CHANGELOG.md`, keeping original dates and skipping duplicates, and emails nobody about imported entries. Previewing is free and needs no card.

## Questions

**What does Canny cost?**

As of 22 September 2026 Canny's pricing page listed a Free plan at $0 with 25 tracked users, Pro starting at $79 a month billed yearly with 100 or more tracked users, and a Business plan priced on request. Check canny.io/pricing for current figures.

**What is a tracked user in Canny's pricing?**

Their pricing page defines a tracked user as any user associated with feedback — someone who has posted, voted or commented, or had that done on their behalf. As of 22 September 2026, plans were sized by that number.

**Is Relnotely an alternative to Canny?**

Only for the changelog. Canny is a feedback management product with a changelog among its features; Relnotely publishes release notes to a page, a widget and an email list, and has no feedback boards, voting or roadmap.

**Can I use both?**

Yes. Nothing stops a team collecting feedback in one tool and publishing its changelog on its own domain with another. Relnotely needs no integration to run beside anything.
