Switching from Canny to Shipnotes is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.
Step 1: Buy once on Whop
One-time $49 for the packaged version with updates and setup support.
Step 2: Deploy it
docker compose up -d on a $5 VPS for a public changelog at updates.yourapp.com — or run desktop mode to try it first.
Step 3: Ship, post, let users vote
Write a Markdown post, tag it, publish — subscribers get emailed, the widget badge lights up, and feature requests collect votes while you sleep.
What to expect during the switch
Shipnotes covers the same core workflow as Canny, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.
Why make the switch at all
Canny runs $79/mo, forever. Shipnotes is $49, once. Canny costs $79 every month. Shipnotes pays for itself in 19 days — then your changelog is free for the life of your product.
