Best alternative to canny.io for single-person SaaS?
Canny.io wants a king's ransom for their starter plan: $50/mo. Just ain't gonna happen. I'm in the very earliest stage with a handful of people providing feedback and cannot justify the cost.
Fider (https://getfider.com/) looks like exactly what I want except it is self-hosted. I have a rule for myself: The only app I'm responsible for hosting is the app I'm developing.
hellonext (https://hellonext.co/) looks like it is in the ballpark but $25/mo still feels too expensive.
Anyone have success with an alternative to canny.io?
Something in the $6-15/mo range would feel right.

Thanks Edwin 😊 We love helping early-stage founders–we've been there!
Are you up for doing more podcast interviews? I've just interviewed Mubs (of PH fame) and Arvid (of Feedback Panda) and am interested in talking to more technical founder bootstrappers!

Hi Jester,
while this post is from last year I only found it now: I feel Productific is exactly what you describe in your post. A free plan is available for smooth getting-to-know and testing without trial time pressure, the start-up plan at €7/mo is perfectly within the range you mention feels right.
Feel free to PM me for any question or feedback.

Oops. Fixed, thank you for letting me know! 🙂

Feel feee to give https://upvoty.com a try! Fair pricing and everything you need 💪
I was in the same boat as you. My product sslzen.com (open source) provides free SSL certificate via LetsEncrypt for wordpress websites.
I reached out to canny.io and they provided me with a free account. God bless them.
