SeggWat vs Canny
Powerful feedback at a fraction of the cost
Canny is a popular feedback management tool known for its clean upvoting board and GitHub/Jira integrations. However, it gets expensive as you scale — $79/month for Pro, then custom-priced Business above it. SeggWat delivers the same core functionality plus unique features like screenshot annotation, an MCP AI server, and a Chrome extension, all starting at a much lower price point.
