Productstack vs.Canny
Canny does Ideas well. Productstack does Ideas, plus the rest of the product loop.
Full product OS, not just Ideas.
Canny is built around the public ideas board. Productstack covers OKRs, roadmap, releases, KB, and feedback, all wired together. If you want one tool not five, the choice is obvious.
AI features Canny doesn't have.
AI release drafting, KB authoring, OKR + card + idea suggestion, feedback categorisation. None of those exist in Canny.
Embed widget that's actually useful.
Productstack's embed shows the unread changelog badge on your customers' screens, surfaces feedback via three launcher styles, and ties signal to identity. Canny's embed is the ideas board in an iframe.
