What is Canny?
Canny's Autopilot now captures bugs, pricing and usability feedback, not only feature requests
Autopilot can now extract bugs, pricing feedback and usability issues as well as feature requests, tagging each idea by type. Google Meet joined its call sources in September, and the ideas tab gained inline action fields and customer segmentation. Admins can follow ideas, and two-factor authentication arrived with an owner-level requirement. Most of this is available on all plans.
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.

Canny's Autopilot now captures bugs, pricing and usability feedback, not only feature requests
◆ Current state
Autopilot can now extract bugs, pricing feedback and usability issues as well as feature requests, tagging each idea by type. Google Meet joined its call sources in September, and the ideas tab gained inline action fields and customer segmentation. Admins can follow ideas, and two-factor authentication arrived with an owner-level requirement. Most of this is available on all plans.
◆ Where it's heading
Capture is still widening, but in a new direction: past more sources and into more kinds of feedback. The newer work also starts to fill what was thin before, since action fields and segments change how teams act on ideas once they are in. Security controls such as required 2FA show the product is meeting the needs of larger teams.
◆ Prediction
Filtered views by feedback type suggest reporting will follow, tying bug and pricing feedback to revenue as the existing reporting does for ideas. Further call and support sources are also likely.
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
◆ Current state
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
◆ Where it's heading
After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
◆ Prediction
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
