Looking for a Canny Alternative With Japanese Support? A Framework for Comparing

TL;DR

When comparing alternatives to Canny, three things tend to matter most: whether pricing scales with tracked users or stays flat, whether the admin dashboard and public board support the language you need, and whether the specific features you rely on are actually covered. A detailed side-by-side comparison between Canny and Feedury is available at /canny-alternative (currently written in Japanese).

Searching for a Canny alternative usually comes down to checking three things: pricing, language support, and features. This article walks through how to compare each. For a detailed side-by-side table between Canny and Feedury, see "Looking for a Canny Alternative? How Feedury Compares" (currently written in Japanese).

Check the pricing model

Canny's pricing scales with "tracked users" (anyone who posts, votes, or comments), moving up in tiers as that number grows. As of July 2026, Core starts around $19/month and Pro around $79/month, both billed annually at 100 tracked users (check Canny's official site for current numbers). Because pricing scales with your end-user count, the impact is larger the more people actively use your public board. It's worth thinking through how your end-user count is likely to grow before comparing options.

Check language support

As far as we can tell, Canny doesn't offer a Japanese UI; it's English-first. That's not an issue if your team and users are comfortable in English, but if you need Japanese, it's worth confirming directly rather than assuming.

Check whether the features you actually need are covered

Canny has a changelog feature, integrations with Slack, Jira, and GitHub, SSO/SAML, and segment-based analytics, none of which Feedury currently has. Feedury, in turn, has things like an AI follow-up question after posting and anonymous posting that Canny doesn't foreground. The more seriously you're evaluating alternatives, the more it pays to list out which of your current (or planned) features are actually non-negotiable before comparing.

Check how easy migration would be

Neither Canny nor Feedury currently offers automated data migration between the two (Feedury has no confirmed plans to add this). If you already have data in Canny, factor that into the decision.
