Conclude vs Canny

Past the inbox. Into the decision.

Canny set the standard for public feedback boards. Conclude sits a layer higher — clustering raw evidence into themes, ranking what to ship, and pushing it into Linear with the loop closed back to voters.

Why teams move to Conclude

Three reasons. No fluff.

Canny is the established public-feedback board. Conclude is what comes next: a decision layer that turns the volume into the next five things to ship.

AI-native, not bolted on

Vector embeddings dedupe and cluster feedback into themes the moment it lands. You see patterns, not piles.

Linear-native by design

Bi-directional sync pulls Linear status changes back into Conclude and notifies the customers who voted. No copy-paste.

Built for builders

React SDK with Shadow DOM, screen + camera + mic recording, and per-event Moments — capture the friction at its source.

Where Conclude pulls ahead

The three differences that matter.

01 · Decision layer

Themes, not tickets.

Conclude clusters new feedback against everything you already have. By the time a request hits the board it is attached to its theme, the duplicates it merges with, the customers it affects, and the recommended next move.

  • Vector dedup at ingest — same idea, different words still land in one cluster
  • Themes carry urgency, account count, and frustration tone
  • Insights summarise what the cluster means, not just how big it is
02 · Linear-native

Loop closes itself.

Most boards push to Linear and forget. Conclude treats Linear as a peer system — feedback becomes a Linear issue with attached evidence, and Linear status changes flow back into the theme and email every voter when work ships.

  • Create Linear issues with screenshots, recordings, and the duplicate context
  • Status, priority, and labels round-trip both directions
  • Voters auto-notified the moment Linear marks an issue Done
03 · Capture surface

Evidence beats prose.

A typed sentence is the worst way to describe friction. Conclude collects a screen recording with optional camera pip and mic narration, plus annotated screenshots, plus the page URL and product context — all from one widget.

  • Composite screen + cam + mic into one WebM via the widget
  • html2canvas screenshots from the React SDK avoid the browser prompt
  • Native privacy controls — masked password fields, opt-in masking attributes

Migration

Switching from Canny

Run them in parallel for two weeks. Drop the Conclude widget on a single high-traffic page, point new feedback at it, and let your team feel the difference between an inbox and a decision queue.

  • Keep your Canny board live while you evaluate — no urgency
  • Import your existing posts as feedback items via CSV (contact support)
  • Re-route Linear creation through Conclude once your team trusts the themes

Questions

Common things people ask.

Can Conclude replace Canny entirely?

For teams whose primary use case is collecting customer feedback, surfacing themes, and shipping in Linear — yes. If your team relies on a specific Canny integration we have not built yet, run both in parallel and tell us what is missing at support@conclude.fyi.

What does the AI actually do?

Two things. (1) On every new feedback item, it generates an OpenAI embedding and merges duplicates into existing themes. (2) Every theme is summarised by GPT-4o with the customer context, urgency tone, and a recommended next action.

Do you have a public roadmap and changelog like Canny?

Yes. Public boards, voting, and roadmap views are built in. Custom domain support is included on the Pro plan.

How is pricing different?

Plans start at $9/month. See the pricing page for the current breakdown — we focus on what teams actually use rather than gating core feedback collection.
