▮ WHAT CANNY DOES THAT 9 HATS DOESN'T

These are real jobs 9 Hats doesn't do.

If you need any of them, Canny is built for it. 9 Hats has no customer-facing surface and isn't trying to be one.

Public voting boards
Public roadmap + changelog – closing the loop with customers at scale
Auto-replies to feedback with follow-up questions
Revenue / opportunity attribution via CRM
Personas for Sales, CS & Marketing
MCP connectors

CAN YOU USE BOTH?

Yes – the jobs don't overlap.

Some teams run Canny as the customer-facing portal while a PM uses 9 Hats privately for meeting synthesis. One faces your customers; the other sits in your notes.

▮ FAQ
Is 9 Hats a Canny alternative?

Only if the job you're replacing is meeting synthesis – not a public feedback portal. If you need a place for customers to post and vote, that's Canny. If you're one PM turning notes into tracked work and patterns, 9 Hats replaces that.

Does 9 Hats have feedback boards or voting?

No, deliberately. There's no customer-facing surface and nothing to vote on. Momentum comes from how often a trend recurs across your own meetings, not from votes.

What's the difference between sorting feedback and synthesizing it?

Sorting arranges what's already been posted – capture, dedupe, count votes. Synthesizing reads across separate meetings to name a pattern no single note states, scores its momentum, and grounds it in dated evidence. One organizes; the other finds what's recurring.

Does 9 Hats charge per tracked user?

No – €15/month flat, one person. No per-tracked-user metering and no AI-credit meter.
