FAQ
- Is it free?
- The Fider licenses are open source or fair-code. You still pay hosting (Railway or any VPS) and any APIs the stack calls. There is no Canny seat or task bill on this path.
- Can I migrate from Canny?
- Yes. Start with the workflows or data you actually use, then cut over. The Fider stack page has the agent prompt and the cost table; most teams rebuild the slice that matters and leave old Canny links until they expire.
- How do I deploy it?
- Open the Fider stack, copy the agent prompt, and deploy on Railway (one service, PORT, and a volume when the app needs disk). Placeholder: Fider + Postgres. SMTP via Resend. No one-click template in this repo yet — Start on Railway. Support inboxes stay on /stacks/chatwoot-support.
- What does this replace?
- Canny. The published small-team estimate on this stack is $1,200 a year.
