SignlOS vs Canny
Canny is one of the best-known customer feedback tools, and for good reason. The honest difference: Canny prices by tracked users and focuses on feedback, roadmap, and changelog, while SignlOS adds status pages and Kanban projects on top of the same core loop — at a flat $0 or $29/mo.

The case for SignlOS
Why teams switch
Flat pricing that doesn't grow with your users
Canny prices by tracked users — anyone who posts, votes, or comments — so a successful board raises your bill. SignlOS is a flat $0 on Free and $29/mo on Pro ($290/yr), however much feedback you collect.
Status pages are built in
SignlOS bundles public status pages with incident tracking and custom domains alongside boards, roadmap, and changelog — one workspace instead of a separate uptime tool.
Passwordless and passkey sign-in
Your users sign in with an email or SMS one-time code, or with a passkey (Touch ID / Face ID). No passwords to forget, less friction before someone votes.
Your data stays portable
Everything in SignlOS is reachable through a versioned REST API with API keys, so you can export posts, roadmap items, and changelogs any time — no lock-in.
