Why teams switch from Canny to Lenit

Every feedback board goes stale without daily upkeep. Connect your GitHub, and Lenni — Lenit's AI manager — handles it daily: closing out shipped requests, notifying voters, and drafting the changelog.

Canny is the established standard, but for startups and growing teams the per-tracked-user pricing makes the bill impossible to predict and scales up exactly when you don't want it to. The UI is dated, AI features cost extra, and the integration roster is built around enterprise sales stacks (Intercom, Salesforce, Gong) that startups without a sales team never use.

Canny is not built for fast-growing teams

Per-tracked-user pricing means the better your product does, the more you pay. What startups need is flat pricing that doesn't tax growth, and a board that runs without daily upkeep.

Pricing scales with your users

More tracked users, higher bill. Next month's invoice is hard to predict.

Dated UI

Little visual change since 2017, and it shows in the embedded widget too.

AI costs extra

Autopilot and other core AI sit behind credits or upper plans.

Enterprise-first integrations

Intercom, Salesforce, Gong. Powerful with a sales team, dead weight without one.

So with Lenit, the board manages itself.

Connect GitHub once, and all of this happens automatically every day. The board stays current without an admin.

Ship it, and it closes itself

Lenni reads your GitHub changes daily and marks related feedback as done.
