# Camelus vs Canny

> How Camelus compares with Canny: feedback from where it already arrives versus a public voting board, ranking by people and revenue, and pricing models.

Canny and Camelus both help you decide what to build from what users ask for. They start from different places: Canny from a public board where users post and vote, Camelus from the feedback that already reaches you through your app, your inbox and your cancellations. This page compares them as of October 2026. Check [canny.io](https://canny.io) for its current features and prices.

## The short version

- **Pick Canny** if you want a public feedback board and roadmap, with voting, comments and a changelog your users can browse.
- **Pick Camelus** if most feedback arrives through a widget, support email and cancellations, you run several products, and you want it read, grouped and ranked by who's asking and what they pay, without asking users to go to a board.

## Side by side

| | Canny | Camelus |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where feedback comes from | Users post on your board or widget; your team adds feedback from other tools | Widget, forwarded support email, REST API, Polar cancellations, manual entry, CSV |
| Grouping | People vote on posts; duplicates are merged | AI groups similar messages into themes, across languages; you can move, merge and split, with undo |
| Ranking | Votes, with revenue when connected to a billing tool | Code you can read: each person once, weighed by source, identity, payment and recency, with "why this score" |
| Public board and roadmap | Yes | No |
| Telling users it shipped | Notifications to voters and a public changelog | Drafted email to everyone who asked to hear back, sent after your approval |
| Several products | Boards per product | One Inbox across products, themes per product |

| Agents | Has its own AI features | REST API and an MCP server for Claude and other agents |
| Pricing model | Grows with the number of tracked users | Flat per workspace: Free, Pro $19 and Studio $49 a month |

## Where Camelus is different

**It reads what you already get.** Most indie products never get a busy voting board: users write to support, click a widget, or cancel. Camelus collects all of that without asking anyone to sign up somewhere else.

**It ranks by people and money, in code.** A theme with six paying customers can outrank one with twenty anonymous visitors, and every score shows who contributes what. AI summarizes and groups; it never invents counts or revenue.

**It closes the loop by email.** When a theme ships, Camelus drafts the email to the people who asked, in plain words, and sends it when you approve.

**It hands work to agents.** Send a theme to [Vicunia](/integrations/vicunia) and it comes back shipped, with the deploy link.

## Where Canny is ahead

A public board lets users see each other's requests, vote and discuss, and a public roadmap shows them what's coming. Camelus has neither today. If your users expect that, Canny is the better fit.
