Comparisons
fedo compared to other feedback tools
Honest write-ups of the tools you are probably choosing between. Each one says where the other product wins, because you will find that out in week two anyway.
All comparisons last checked against public pricing and documentation: 3 September 2026.
What fedo is, so you can rule it out fast
- It is: an in-app feedback SDK. Users post ideas and bug reports, vote, and comment on a native screen inside your app. You triage in a dashboard sorted by votes, across five roadmap statuses.
- It is not: a web portal, a support desk, a live chat, a survey tool, or an enterprise voice-of-customer platform.
- Platform reality: Android ships today. iOS, Flutter, and React Native are in development. If you need those now, three of the tools below have them and fedo does not.
- Stage: early access. Free on one app, no public customer list, and the SDK has no offline retry yet.
The three write-ups
fedo vs Canny
Canny is the default feedback board and the one most people mean by “a portal”. Its mobile path is a WKWebView pointed at webview.canny.io, and per Canny's own docs the mobile widget only works with SSO — so anonymous mobile feedback is off the table. Billing is per tracked user: anyone who posts, votes, or comments. Read this one if your users are in a mobile app and your Canny board is quiet.
fedo vs UserVoice
UserVoice is an enterprise voice-of-customer platform. It shipped iOS and Android SDKs and archived both repositories in July 2019, so mobile now means the hosted portal. Pricing is quoted, not published, and the trial starts with a demo. Read this one if you inherited a UserVoice account and are wondering why there is no mobile story.
fedo vs Gleap
The closest real competitor, and the one where fedo loses most rows. Gleap has genuine native SDKs on iOS, Android, React Native, Expo, and Flutter, plus live chat, an AI agent, a knowledge base, and bug reports carrying console logs, network logs, and session replay. No free plan; from $49/month. Read this one if you are deciding between a focused tool and a suite.
At a glance

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shape | In-app feedback SDK | Web feedback portal | Enterprise VoC platform | Support suite |

| Free plan | 1 app, unlimited users | 25 tracked users | None | None — 14-day trial |
| Paid entry | Early access, by email | $79/mo yearly, 100+ tracked users | Quoted after a demo | $49/mo yearly, 1 seat 1 project |
| Billing basis | Per app | Per tracked user | Feedback volume and integrations | Per plan, seats unlimited above Starter |
| Maturity | Early access | Established | Over a decade | Established |
“Not documented” means exactly that — Gleap may support anonymous participation, it is not stated in the docs I checked, and I am not going to guess in a comparison table. Figures from each vendor's public pricing and documentation, 3 September 2026.
Tools without a write-up yet
Named so you can go look rather than assume this list is the market:
- Featurebase, Frill, Nolt — web feedback boards in the same shape as Canny, generally cheaper. Same portal trade-off for mobile apps.
- Features.Vote — a native SwiftUI board, roadmap, and changelog as a Swift package. Apple platforms only, and genuinely native there, which is more than fedo can say about iOS today.
- User Orient — native Flutter SDK for voting and roadmaps. Flutter only.
- Luciq (formerly Instabug) — mature iOS and Android SDK, now positioned as mobile observability. Feature requests are a module inside a crash-reporting and performance suite; enterprise pricing.
- Shake — shake-to-report bug SDK for iOS and Android. No voting, no roadmap; a different job.
- App store reviews — the actual default, and the thing most of these tools are really competing with. No threading, no private reply, no voting.
If none of this fits
The argument underneath every one of these pages is that a portal loses people at four separate steps, and that in-app removes all four. That argument is about mechanism, not measured results, and it is written out in full here including the caveat.
If you decide a portal is right for your product, Canny is a good one. This site would rather you pick correctly than pick fedo.
Or just try it
Starter is free on one app with unlimited users, and takes a Gradle line plus two calls. Cheaper than finishing the evaluation.
