IvaBoard compared with Canny, FeedBear and seven more.Honestly, including where they are ahead.

We checked nine feedback tools against their own pricing pages, help centres and docs. Here is where IvaBoard is the better pick, where it is not yet, and what we are building next.

  • Checked on 16 October 2026
  • Sources linked for every tool
  • Missing features marked as on the roadmap

The short answer.

Start here. The sections below give the detail and the sources.

Choose IvaBoard if

  • You run more than one product and want one plan, one team and one inbox for all of them.
  • You want a flat yearly price with unlimited team members and unlimited voters.
  • You would rather pay once: lifetime licenses start at $59, and none of the nine tools here sells one today.
  • You build client portals on client domains, with your branding removed.
  • You sign customers in from your own app and want that step signed and short-lived.

Choose another tool if

  • You need Slack, Jira, Intercom or another native integration today.
  • You want AI to group duplicates and summarise feedback for you.
  • Your company requires SAML single sign-on or a SOC 2 report.
  • You want a free plan, or an in-app widget inside your product.
  • You want surveys, a help centre or live chat in the same tool.
  • You want to sign up and start in minutes. Today we set up each new IvaBoard workspace ourselves, within one business day.
  • You want a tool with years of public reviews. IvaBoard went on sale in October 2026.
  • You want to host it yourself: Fider is open source.

Where IvaBoard is ahead.

One plan, many products.

Starter covers 3 products, Growth 10 and Scale 50. Each product keeps its own boards, customers, roadmap, changelog and branding, and your team triages them in one inbox.

No meter on people.

Every plan has unlimited team members and unlimited voters. The price changes only with how many products, boards and domains you run.

Pay once, if you like.

Lifetime licenses start at $59 early-bird for one product and go up to 100 products on your own domains. Some of these tools sold lifetime deals on AppSumo in the past, but none of the nine sells one today.

Your domains, for every product.

Growth includes 3 custom domains for $349 a year, and Scale covers 50 domains with IvaBoard's name removed for $799 a year. Each domain gets HTTPS automatically.

Sign-in from your app, done safely.

Your server vouches for a customer with a one-time ticket that expires in 60 seconds. There is no unsigned browser call that anyone could fake.

Signed webhooks and script-free embeds.

Webhooks carry an HMAC-SHA256 signature you can check. Roadmap and changelog embeds load without any JavaScript on your pages.

Data in Germany, kept apart by the database.

IvaBoard and all customer data are hosted in Germany. Every workspace is separated by the database itself, not only by the application code.

One by one.

Pick a tool to see who it suits, where it is stronger, where it falls short and the pages we read.

Canny

The best-known tool in this space, with the deepest integrations and AI, priced by how many of your customers take part.

Best for: Larger SaaS teams that work in Jira, HubSpot or Salesforce and can budget for growth in tracked users.

Where Canny is stronger

  • Slack, Teams, Intercom and Zendesk on every plan, and Jira, Linear, GitHub and Zapier on Pro.
  • Autopilot AI pulls feedback out of support conversations and flags duplicates.
  • A free plan for up to 25 tracked users, an in-app widget and a SOC 2 report.
  • Years of public reviews: 4.5 on G2 from 108 reviews.

Where Canny falls short

  • Pro starts at $948 a year for 100 tracked users, and anyone who votes or comments counts as one.
  • Each product is a separate workspace with its own bill.
  • Removing Canny branding, team single sign-on and HubSpot or Salesforce need Business, priced on request.
  • No queue to approve ideas before they go public, and data is hosted in the United States.

Cheapest paid plan: $948 a year. Price grows with: Tracked users.

How we checked.

We read each tool's pricing page, feature pages, help centre and API docs on 16 October 2026, and we link the pages we used.

When a tool did not say, the table reads "Not stated" instead of a guess. Prices are in US dollars, billed yearly where the tool publishes a yearly price.

IvaBoard's column comes from the product itself. Features we do not have yet say so, and the ones we are building are on our public roadmap.

Canny, FeedBear, Featurebase, Frill, Upvoty, Nolt, Sleekplan, UserJot and Fider are trademarks of their owners. IvaBoard is not affiliated with any of them.

Prices and features change. If you spot something out of date, email support@ivaboard.com and we will correct it.

Comparison questions, answered plainly.

  • Is IvaBoard cheaper than Canny or FeedBear?

    At $149 a year, IvaBoard Starter is the lowest paid entry price we found, with Sleekplan ($156) and FeedBear ($180) close behind. Canny, Featurebase, Sleekplan, UserJot and Fider also have free plans, which IvaBoard does not. The difference grows when you run several products, need a custom domain or want branding removed, because one IvaBoard plan covers all your products and never charges per seat or per voter.

  • Does IvaBoard integrate with Slack, Jira or Intercom?

    Not yet. Native integrations are on our public roadmap. Today, signed webhooks send new ideas, status changes, comments and releases to any address you run, and the API reads ideas and creates ideas and votes.

  • Can I move my feedback from another tool?

    Yes. Export a CSV from your current tool and import it into a board. You map the columns, and IvaBoard keeps the original dates and author names and sends no emails.

  • Is there a free plan or a free trial?

    No. Every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee on the original purchase instead.

  • Why can't people vote anonymously?

    On purpose. Only people with a verified account can post, vote or comment, so each vote belongs to a real account. Anyone can still read a public board without signing in.

Bring your feedback to IvaBoard.
