self hosted alternative to canny and uservoice on wordpress for a product manager

Priya Sharma Priya Sharma 2 2 months ago canny-alternative product-management self-hosted

I am a product manager at a B2B startup and we have been paying a steep monthly fee for a hosted feedback platform. The tool works, but I cannot justify the ongoing cost when most of our product marketing site already runs on WordPress. Leadership wants me to consolidate and bring the roadmap in-house so it lives on our own domain.

What I care about as a PM: a public roadmap page customers can actually read, a way to see what is planned vs in-progress vs shipped, categories so I can separate mobile work from API work, and release notes so customers know when something ships. Is there a WordPress plugin that covers this without a monthly SaaS bill?

Product Roadmap is designed for exactly this use case. You keep everything on your own WordPress install, on your own domain, with no monthly platform fee. The free plugin already covers the core PM workflow you described.

  • Public roadmap page: responsive layout rendered via [roadmap] shortcode on any page
  • Progress tracking: planned, in-progress, and completed statuses visible to customers
  • Categories: organize features so mobile, API, and other workstreams browse cleanly
  • Changelog: publish release notes with [roadmap_changelog], categorized as Feature, Fix, Security, and so on
  • Completion Notes field on completed items so you can tell customers exactly what shipped

Honest limit: the free version is scoped to a single product roadmap. Pro adds unlimited products with product-specific settings, an Analytics Dashboard for votes and engagement, CSV export, priority levels (critical, high, nice-to-have), and five template views including Board (Kanban), Timeline (Gantt), List, Cards, and Minimal, which most PMs want for internal reviews.
