Use topics to create unlimited boards

Canny sells “unlimited boards”. But multiple boards are confusing for users. When you show multiple boards at once, people don’t know where to go to add new ideas. Topics is Frill’s elegant solution to the problem of multiple boards.

“We could not justify USD10k a year for an embeddable ideas widget. Frill not only met the must-have requirements but also gave us additional features we desired, like the public facing roadmap feature.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frill compare to other customer feedback tools?

Frill is one of the best Canny alternatives in the market, but it’s not the only one. Despite having several key features, Frill is easy to use. Our customers believe it’s the easiest way to collect customer feedback, organise feature ideas, and announce product feedback, in one place.

Why Frill doesn’t have multiple boards?

Multiple boards are messy and confusing for users. We have a better solution to categorise ideas and new features. Topics is Frill’s solution to the same problem. Topics help users organise feature requests while keeping all ideas in a single place, that’s easy to navigate. Topics are unlimited and editable on all plans.

Can I customise how my feedback widget looks?

Absolutely. You have 4 widget styles to choose from: Popover, Modal, Sidebar, and Inline. All widget styles are available on all of our plans.

While Canny’s widget is built to announce product updates, you can use Frill widgets to collect feedback, as well. Embed your widgets in your product and website, where your customers spend time, and improve feedback collection.

What tools does Frill integrate with?

Frill integrates with multiple tools directly, via automation apps and webhooks. Our integrations are available on all of our affordable paid plans, but Canny only lets you use one integration on their $400/month plan.

Connect Frill with your favourite apps:

  • Zendesk

  • Zapier

  • Intercom

  • Trello

  • Jira

  • Slack

  • Webhooks — Integrate with any app by setting up your custom events.

  • Integrately — Integrate Frill with 900+ apps in 1 Click.

  • Pabbly — Connect Frill.co with more than 850+ apps.

Are there any hidden fees with Frill?

No hidden fees. All our plans have a fixed rate. We’ll never change your pricing based on usage. If you choose to upgrade or purchase an add-on, you’ll still pay a fixed rate every month. You can downgrade or cancel your plan at any time.

Why does Frill have add-ons?

Add-ons give you more control over your plan. Our Startup plan starts at a low $25/mo. If you want to get privacy features (+$25/mo) or white label the app (+$100/mo) you can choose to do so, without upgrading to our Growth plan, which includes every feature, without limitations.

What kind of businesses could use a user feedback management tool?

SaaS companies, digital product teams, and E-commerce businesses all use Frill as their customer feedback platform. Frill is currently being used by all types of businesses that want to prioritise what to build by collecting feedback and organising feature requests.
