Why switch from Canny to Vershun?
Canny is a great feedback and roadmap tool, but if your primary need is a beautiful changelog, Vershun is purpose-built for it — lighter, cheaper, and EU hosted.

Different focus
Canny is a feedback management platform where changelog is one feature among many. Vershun is changelog-first: every feature is designed to make your product updates beautiful, discoverable, and engaging.
Pricing
Canny's Pro plan starts at $79/mo. Their Core plan is $19/mo but limits tracked users to 100. Their free plan limits you to basic features. Vershun's free plan includes a full changelog page, and paid plans start at 7 €/mo with no limits on posts or visitors.
GDPR & EU hosting
Canny is US-hosted. Vershun runs entirely in the EU (Hetzner), making GDPR compliance effortless — no data transfers, no additional DPA needed.
