This wasn't the only issue I had with Canny The problems I had with Canny are endless: - On a bug report or post, you can comment, but you can't change the status of it to for example "under review" or "planned" - For that you have to go into the [ Admin view ], but in that view you can't comment to the user anymore, you have to press a toggle every time - The entire UI and UX is just illogical, and everything you try to do with Canny makes you pull your hair out in subtle ways - Not often have I dealt with a company less responsive to feedback than Canny, which is ironic for a company that literally builds feedback boards! - I've sent endless DMs with suggestions and they're all received lukewarm or barely responded too - I tried connecting the ideasandbugs(dot)com domain to Canny, endless DNS errors, turns out they don't support it in the first place, why? Who knows So I'm switching to And I am seeing more and more companies switch from Canny to Featurebase, probably for the same reason: One in particular is Civitai, the AI model directory, who use it at And now all my sites too at Featurebase has amazing UI/UX and design, super responsive staff (replies within minutes), just 10/10

@cannyHQ Why do so many cool products that scale end up in the enshitification phase?👀 PSA for startups. If you build stuff online, focus on your clients & their best interests before your pockets. Else you’ll decay. And if you don’t & end up hurting people, I’ll make sure you do ☺️🖤

@cannyHQ I think Canny is suffering from internal issues where they're not improving the product for some reason Meanwhile better competitors are showing up So with allegedly shrinking revenue they're trying to stop that by forcing customers to stay But that's an idiotic strategy

@cannyHQ growth team: remove cancel button, force user to give feedback via contact, so we can understand and grow users: where's the cancel button? public: im never using @cannyHQ me: same (never mess with the cancel button)

@cannyHQ Such a dumb way to make money. Every customer of mine gets a direct cancel link in their sign up email. So lame to use these shadow patterns to reduce churn.

@cannyHQ Yep same, click Billing link, go into the Stripe Portal and click Cancel and it's done

@cannyHQ Sorry for the negative experience. We're gonna fix this asap Tbh this was how we built cancellation in 2017. In the early days it was nice to be able to talk to customers to understand what wasn't working. But you're right – we're well beyond the point where this is reasonable.

You're misrepresenting the current situation with an old and completely irrelevant screenshot from 2017 where your cancel flow does have a [ Cancel Subscription ] button that directly cancels it! Left is your screenshot from 2017 (!) But right is your current cancel flow, where it's simply impossible to cancel most of the time: To downgrade or cancel your subscription, you're forced to contact support: "We'd love to know why your current plan isn't working for you. Please contact support to downgrade." But your support is an AI bot that won't let you cancel your subscription It's great you respect balanced working hours (40 hour work week for ex) by outsourcing customer support to AI but a week is 7 days * 24 hours = 168 hours That means 40/168=23% So only 23% of the time your staff is available to cancel at any moment in time That means 77% of time it's impossible to cancel Canny

I devised a plan to have Grok Grok Bot pay for itself. I set up two Bots. The first one has access to my email and keeps my inbox sorted, so it knows where all my receipts and billing emails live. I named the second one Grinder, and its job is to handle subscriptions. It sits in support chats and logs whatever offers they make, and it's not allowed to accept deals, confirm charges, or do anything binding without asking me first. I told the email Bot to go through my billing and receipts and find every subscription I'm still paying for, what it costs, when it bills, and how to cancel each one. The plan after that was to go down the list and negotiate every price down with the threat of account termination. A few minutes later, it came back with a table of about 13 subscriptions. Three of them alone are around $300 a month. Kimi is $199, Descript is $65, Restream is $49. Then the email Bot messaged Grinder directly and handed it the first target. Grinder told me it wouldn't open anything or contact anyone until I sent the words "run it", so I sent it. It opened Restream's support chat, got through their AI agent to a real human, and when they told it to cancel itself in settings, it pushed back and asked for an actual priced offer to keep the plan since it was canceling otherwise. The support rep said they don't have a retention offer. So it went into the billing page, got to the final cancel button, and stopped there. While it was sitting on that button, its report flagged that my next payment is $39.20, not the $49 I thought I was paying. The bot looked, and there was already a discount applied to the account. I have no idea whether that came from Bot or if Restream applied it on their own, but either way, there was no better deal to get. So I kept it. All I did the whole time was sign in once and answer a system notification whenever Bot needed permission for something. Bot is going through the rest of the list now, one provider at a time, getting prices down. Canceling stuff is annoying on purpose. Bot doesn’t get annoyed.
