Companies Using Canny

I run marketing at TechnologyChecker, and Canny is a tool our own buyers know: it's where a lot of software companies keep their public feature-request boards. Our October 2026 crawl puts it on 1,246 live domains, 793 of them matched to a company, 15th of 64 in Surveys & Feedback with 0.56%. Getting to that number meant throwing out two-thirds of the raw count, and the reasons are worth knowing before you buy a Canny list from anyone.

What we took out

ClickFunnels points unused custom domains at its own home page, and that page links ClickFunnels' Canny changelog. So 2,072 of the 3,848 raw domains were ClickFunnels talking about itself. Opening the pages found a second group: 528 domains carried Canny inside software somebody else runs. 315 were white-label HighLevel CRMs, 64 eStage communities, 55 Stacker portals and 27 resold fax apps; 30 redirected to Zeffy or ArtistHub, and a few smaller platforms made up the rest. On a HighLevel app the code sets up HighLevel's own board at ideas.gohighlevel.com. The agency behind app.agencyname.com never picked Canny. We removed all 2,600.

"Two-thirds of the raw Canny count was other software companies' pages. HighLevel alone had 315 live domains, and each of those apps points at HighLevel's own board." - Elif Arslan, CMO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: if you source a Canny list elsewhere, check it for HighLevel, Stacker, eStage and ClickFunnels domains before you size anything. The 1,246 on this page are companies that chose Canny themselves.

Three ways to put it on a site

A raw-HTML pass over the 1,246 shows how teams deploy it. 461 domains link to their own board on canny.io, usually from a footer, help centre or docs: Mentimeter, Neo4j and Expo's documentation do this. 157 serve a Canny-hosted board on their own subdomain, such as ideas.digitalocean.com or feedback.descript.com. 262 load the JavaScript widget, mostly inside the product; Triple Whale, Guru and DNSFilter load it on their app sign-in pages. Another 239 showed nothing until JavaScript ran, and in a browser sample of 16 of them, 9 turned out to be a board link or the widget. In a random sample of 20 domains, none linked to another company's board.

Sales signal: a hosted board on a feedback. or ideas. subdomain means feedback is a public channel with an owner, usually a product manager. A footer link is a lighter commitment. Pitch roadmap and research tools to the hosted group first.

Who the customers are

54.83% of matched companies have 1 to 10 staff and 29.52% have 11 to 50. Age is the clearer signal: 50.6% were founded in the 2010s and 40.31% in the 2020s. Software Development is 32.77% of the industry chart and Technology, Information and Internet another 14.45%. The bigger names are mostly software firms with public boards, DigitalOcean, Descript, Sendcloud and Vendasta among them. Three exceptions stand out: the American Bar Association runs Canny in its online learning centre, Life Fitness in its Facility Connect app, and Inductive Automation hosts an ideas board for its industrial software users.

Sales signal: the typical buyer is a founder or product lead at a software company with fewer than 50 people that has been selling for a few years. They already ask customers what to build, so they're open to tools that help decide it.

Where they are

The United States has 381 matched companies, the United Kingdom 43, India and the Netherlands 36 each, Canada 33 and Australia 25. Continental Europe adds up to more than the UK: the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Sweden hold 97 between them. Mentimeter in Stockholm, Sendcloud in Eindhoven and Kittl in Berlin run Canny, as do Sleekflow in Singapore and Jisr in Riyadh.

Sales signal: the European and Asian companies on this list are mostly software firms. Localisation, regional data hosting and translated changelogs are the natural pitches there.

Few real exits

Since we began tracking it in March 2026, 2,896 domains have dropped Canny on at least one hostname, but that count is on the raw basis and mostly isn't churn. 2,538 of those domains are HighLevel apps, and 2,503 of them fell out of our count in a single pass on 2 to 4 October. About 100 more are ClickFunnels domains. That leaves 273 other exits, 254 of which no longer run Canny on any hostname. Overlap with the rivals in Canny's table is small: 19 domains run Tally today, 2 run Typeform and 1 runs Userback, and none of those pairs passes our switching tests.

"Strip out HighLevel and ClickFunnels and Canny loses very few sites. 273 domains in seven months, on a base of 1,246. People aren't leaving it in a hurry." - Elif Arslan, CMO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: a competitor selling against Canny has no visible switching wave to ride. The opening is price: tracked-user billing rises as a board gets busier, and that's when teams compare.

The stack around it

Next.js runs on 41.57% of the 1,246 domains, React on 24.32% and Vue.js on 14.21%. PostHog leads product analytics at 18.14%, against 6.42% for Amplitude, 4.98% for Mixpanel and 2.09% for Pendo. Google Analytics is on 76.89%, Amazon Web Services on 26.81% and Vercel on 26.24%. Zendesk (7.22%) and Statuspage (7.14%) show support teams running a public board next to a help desk and a status page.

Sales signal: the typical Canny site is a JavaScript app on Vercel or AWS with PostHog or Google Analytics. Developer tools, product analytics and in-app messaging fit this list better than CMS plugins.

What it costs

Canny's pricing page (13 October 2026) lists a Free plan at $0 with 25 tracked users, Pro from $79 a month billed yearly with 100 or more tracked users, and a custom-priced Business plan from 5,000 tracked users with SSO and CRM integrations. A tracked user is anyone who posts, votes or comments, including people Autopilot finds in support and sales conversations. Teams can set a monthly spend limit. Its about page says the company has been bootstrapped and profitable since it launched in 2017.

Sales signal: pricing follows engagement, so a growing public board means a growing bill. Companies that recently connected Autopilot sources are the ones most likely to hit a tier boundary.

Key takeaways

1. 1,246 live domains, 15th of 64 in Surveys & Feedback, after 2,600 platform-carried domains were removed.

2. HighLevel's white-label apps and ClickFunnels pages were most of the raw count, and most of the recorded churn.

3. A small, young, software-heavy base: 54.83% have 1 to 10 staff and 90.91% were founded in 2010 or later.

4. Board links (461), the widget (262) and hosted boards (157) are the three deployments.

5. Real exits are rare: 273 since March outside the HighLevel and ClickFunnels groups.
