   Pendo

   A software experience platform that combines product analytics, in-app guides, session replay and surveys, priced by monthly active users.

   8.7overall

   A software experience platform that combines product analytics, in-app guides, session replay and surveys, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forProduct teams that want analytics and in-app guidance on one dataset, starting on a free plan.

   Adoption data

   14,000+ teamsPendo says more than 14,000 teams use its platform.

   Pendo, Pendo homepage (2026): “Join 14,000+ teams innovating with Pendo”

   Pendo ranks first because it has the largest user base among the product-focused platforms we compared and a free plan that is useful on day one. Its homepage says more than 14,000 teams use it. The free tier covers 500 monthly active users with analytics, in-app guides and branded NPS surveys. Paid Base, Core and Ultimate plans add session replay, product discovery and user flow orchestration, and Pendo's FAQ says pricing is set by monthly active users and modules, not by the number of apps or sessions, with the cost per MAU falling as volume grows. The weak point is price visibility: every paid tier says Request pricing, so you cannot compare Pendo with Userpilot or UserGuiding without a sales call. Pendo also covers more than guidance, which helps teams that want one platform but adds cost for teams that only need tours. For a product team that wants guides tied to strong analytics, it is the strongest choice we compared.

   Strengths

   • +The free plan includes both analytics and in-app guides
   • +Pricing does not depend on the number of applications or sessions
   • +Cost per MAU falls as volume grows, per the pricing FAQ

   Limitations

   • −Every paid plan is quoted, so budgets need a sales call
   • −The free plan stops at 500 MAUs
   • −Replay and orchestration are add-ons below the Ultimate tier

   SummaryPendo is our top pick for product teams that want in-app guides built on deep usage analytics. Expect a sales quote once you pass 500 MAUs.

2. 2

   Userpilot

   A product growth platform for in-app onboarding, product analytics, surveys and session replay, priced by monthly active users.

   8.5overall

   A product growth platform for in-app onboarding, product analytics, surveys and session replay, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forSaaS teams that want a published entry price and no-code onboarding flows.

   Adoption data

   1,200+ companiesUserpilot says more than 1,200 companies use its platform.

   Userpilot, Userpilot homepage (2026): “More than 1,200 companies use Userpilot to accelerate product growth.”

   Userpilot ranks second because it combines a public entry price with a broad feature set. The Starter plan costs $299 a month for up to 2,000 monthly active users and includes in-app engagement, segmentation, usage trends and NPS surveys. Growth starts at $849 a month and adds advanced analytics, event autocapture, a resource center, 5,000 session replays and 100,000 emails a month. The company says more than 1,200 companies use it. Every plan now includes its AI agent Lia and an MCP server for connecting AI tools. The limits show up on Starter: only 10 segments, no autocapture and no resource center, so many teams will move to Growth quickly. Mobile engagement and warehouse sync sit on Enterprise. For SaaS teams that want to start onboarding flows this week at a known price and grow into analytics later, Userpilot is a strong pick.

   Strengths

   • +Entry price is published on the pricing page
   • +14-day free trial with no credit card
   • +Analytics, surveys and replay in one tool on Growth

   Limitations

   • −Starter is limited to 10 user segments
   • −Event autocapture and the resource center need Growth
   • −Mobile engagement is Enterprise only

   SummaryUserpilot is the best choice for SaaS teams that want a published MAU price and no-code flows. Budget for Growth if you need autocapture.

3. 3

   Product Fruits

   An onboarding platform with product tours, checklists, a knowledge base and an AI copilot, priced by monthly active users.

   8.4overall

   An onboarding platform with product tours, checklists, a knowledge base and an AI copilot, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forSmall software teams that want the lowest published price for in-app onboarding.

   Adoption data

   1,300+ teamsProduct Fruits says more than 1,300 teams run onboarding on its platform.

   Product Fruits, Product Fruits homepage (2026): “1,300+ teams run onboarding on Product Fruits.”

   Product Fruits ranks third because it publishes the lowest entry price we found and shows the cost at every MAU level. The pricing calculator lists Starter at $111 a month billed annually for 1,500 monthly active users, with Pro at $187 and Business at $374, and a 25% saving for yearly billing. Starter includes product tours, hints, onboarding checklists, banners, a newsfeed and a public knowledge base. Pro adds a private knowledge base, automatic translations and custom events, and Business adds SAML SSO and voice onboarding. Its Elvin copilot answers user questions and can launch a tour inside the app. The company says more than 1,300 teams use it. Limits are tight on Starter, which allows 15 tours and 2 checklists, so busy products will need Pro. For small SaaS teams that want onboarding at a known low price, it is the best value we compared.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest published entry price on this list
   • +Price calculator shows the cost for each MAU level
   • +14-day free trial with no credit card

   Limitations

   • −Starter caps tours at 15 and checklists at 2
   • −SAML SSO and permissions need the Business plan
   • −Smaller company than WalkMe or Pendo

   SummaryProduct Fruits is the best value for small software teams adding tours and checklists. Watch the Starter caps on tours and checklists.

4. 4

   UserGuiding

   A no-code onboarding tool with guides, checklists, surveys, a knowledge base and product updates, priced by monthly active users.

   8.2overall

   A no-code onboarding tool with guides, checklists, surveys, a knowledge base and product updates, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forSmall and midsize SaaS teams that want onboarding plus a help center at a published annual price.

   Adoption data

   1,000+ teamsUserGuiding says more than 1,000 teams use its platform.

   UserGuiding, UserGuiding homepage (2026): “1,000+ Teams Scaling Successfully with UserGuiding”

   UserGuiding ranks fourth on a clear price and a wide entry plan. Starter costs $249 a month billed yearly, or $2,988 a year, for up to 2,000 monthly active users. That plan includes all in-app onboarding experiences, surveys and NPS, analytics, segmentation, and a knowledge base with product updates, so a small team can replace a separate help center. Growth starts at $499 a month and adds no-code event tracking, advanced analytics, session replay, localization and a feature request board. The company says more than 1,000 teams use it, and its FAQ says the free trial can be extended past two weeks on request. Two limits matter: both published prices cover only 2,000 MAUs, and anything larger needs a quote. A/B testing and premium integrations also wait for higher tiers. For SaaS teams under 2,000 active users that want onboarding and help content in one tool, it is good value.

   Strengths

   • +Published annual price with the yearly total shown
   • +Knowledge base included on the entry plan
   • +Trial can be extended on request

   Limitations

   • −Prices above 2,000 MAUs require a demo
   • −Session replay and event tracking need Growth
   • −A/B testing is not on Starter

   SummaryUserGuiding suits smaller SaaS teams that want onboarding and a knowledge base at a published price. Larger user bases need a quote.

5. 5

   WalkMe

   An SAP company's enterprise digital adoption platform for guidance, automation and analytics across employee and customer applications.

   8.1overall

   An SAP company's enterprise digital adoption platform for guidance, automation and analytics across employee and customer applications.

   Best forLarge enterprises rolling out guidance across many internal applications such as SAP, Salesforce and Workday.

   Adoption data

   ~1,600 customersWalkMe says it has about 1,600 customers, including 27% of the Fortune 500, and 35 million users.

   WalkMe, About WalkMe (2026): “~1600 Customers 35M Users”

   WalkMe has the strongest enterprise credentials on this list but ranks fifth because nothing about its price is public. Its about page reports about 1,600 customers, 27% of the Fortune 500 and 35 million users. The platform covers interactive guides, tooltips, onboarding tours, surveys, workflow automation and contextual AI assistance, and its analytics include flow funnels and paths, behavioral segments of up to 50,000 users, event tracking and custom dashboards. An Integration Center reads and writes data to major clouds. The pricing page offers separate WalkMe for employees and WalkMe for customers options, but each says Request a quote, which makes value hard to judge. WalkMe is aimed at companies rolling out SAP, Salesforce, Workday or ServiceNow to thousands of staff, so a SaaS team adding onboarding to its own product will likely find Pendo or Userpilot a better fit. For large internal rollouts, it is the most complete option.

   Strengths

   • +Deepest enterprise feature set we compared
   • +Large installed base across the Fortune 500
   • +Separate offerings for employees and customers

   Limitations

   • −No published prices; every plan is a quote
   • −Built for enterprise rollouts more than SaaS onboarding
   • −Up to 10 segments per system

   SummaryWalkMe is the pick for large enterprises guiding employees across many business applications. Expect a quoted contract and a longer rollout.

6. 6

   Whatfix

   A digital adoption platform with in-app guidance, product analytics and simulation-based training for employee and customer-facing applications.

   7.8overall

   A digital adoption platform with in-app guidance, product analytics and simulation-based training for employee and customer-facing applications.

   Best forEnterprises that want guidance for web and desktop apps plus training simulations.

   Adoption data

   700+ customersWhatfix says it has served more than 700 customers in over 30 countries.

   Whatfix, Whatfix homepage (2026): “700+ Customers Served”

   Whatfix ranks sixth as a full enterprise platform that does not publish prices. Its homepage reports more than 700 customers across over 30 countries. The pricing page lists Standard, Premium and Enterprise plans for web and desktop applications, each sold through a demo or sales call. In-app guidance includes step-by-step Flows, Smart Tips, Beacons, Pop-Ups, Task Lists and a Self Help wiki embedded in the app where users can rate content. A Standard product analytics plan is included at no extra cost with any web or desktop DAP plan, which helps teams measure whether guidance works. Enterprise plans cover multi-app or unlimited rollouts. Desktop support sets it apart from most SaaS onboarding tools here. The trade-off is the same as WalkMe: you cannot compare cost without talking to sales, and a small product team will pay for depth it may not use.

   Strengths

   • +Covers both web and desktop applications
   • +Product analytics Standard plan included with DAP plans
   • +Built for employee and customer-facing apps

   Limitations

   • −No published prices
   • −Plans are sold through demos and sales
   • −More than a small SaaS team needs

   SummaryWhatfix fits enterprises that need guidance in web and desktop apps with analytics included. Small SaaS teams should look at published-price tools first.

7. 7

   Chameleon

   An in-app experience platform for tours, microsurveys, checklists and embeddables, priced by monthly tracked users.

   7.7overall

   An in-app experience platform for tours, microsurveys, checklists and embeddables, priced by monthly tracked users.

   Best forProduct teams that want highly customized in-app experiences and A/B tests.

   Adoption data

   500+ customersChameleon says it has more than 500 customers.

   Chameleon, About Chameleon (2026): “500+ Customers”

   Chameleon ranks seventh with clear prices and strong design control but a smaller reported base. The Startup plan starts at $279 for 2,000 monthly tracked users with 10 live experiences, targeting and email support. Pro starts at $750 a month for 5,000 MTUs with up to 20 live experiences, themes and custom CSS, A/B testing and goals, localization into 5 languages and 10,000 AI credits. Growth starts at $1,250 a month billed annually and adds unlimited experiences, a governance agent, interactive demos and HelpBar. The about page reports more than 500 customers. Add-ons raise the bill: extra seats cost $300 a month for 5 on Pro, and SAML SSO costs $400 a month. For teams that care about how tours look and want to test variants, Chameleon is a good fit; teams on a tight budget will get more per dollar from Product Fruits or UserGuiding.

   Strengths

   • +Published prices for Startup, Pro and Growth
   • +Strong styling control with themes and custom CSS
   • +A/B testing built in from Pro

   Limitations

   • −Startup allows only 10 live experiences
   • −Pro jumps to $750 a month
   • −Extra seats and SSO cost more

   SummaryChameleon suits product teams that want custom-styled experiences and A/B testing. Price the seat and SSO add-ons before you commit.

8. 8

   Userflow

   A no-code builder for flows, tours, checklists and in-app AI agents, priced by monthly active users.

   7.5overall

   A no-code builder for flows, tours, checklists and in-app AI agents, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forSaaS teams that want unlimited experiences and unlimited team members on an entry plan.

   Adoption data

   800+ teamsUserflow says more than 800 teams use its platform.

   Userflow, Userflow pricing (2026): “Trusted by 800+ customer-obsessed teams”

   Userflow ranks eighth on a generous entry plan and a smaller reported base. Its pricing page says more than 800 teams use it. Essentials includes 1,000 monthly active users, unlimited team members and unlimited experiences, covering flows, tours, checklists, tooltips and announcements, plus AI to build and target content, the Userflow MCP server, Zapier and Slack integrations and two environments. Studio adds in-app agents with 500 AI credits a month, HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, custom CSS, custom event trackers and a dedicated customer success manager. The FAQ says extra MAUs are billed in blocks of 1,000, from $40 a month down to $10 at scale. We could not confirm the plan prices from the page as fetched, so this entry's USD price check is pending. For SaaS teams that want no caps on experiences or seats, Userflow is worth a trial.

   Strengths

   • +Unlimited experiences and seats on the entry plan
   • +Published per-block rate for extra MAUs
   • +Annual billing discount

   Limitations

   • −The plan price could not be checked in USD for this review
   • −HubSpot and Salesforce integrations need Studio
   • −Smaller reported base than Pendo or Userpilot

   SummaryUserflow fits SaaS teams that want unlimited experiences and seats from the first plan. Confirm the current plan price on its calculator.

9. 9

   Appcues

   A customer engagement platform for in-app flows, checklists, surveys and lifecycle campaigns, priced by monthly active users.

   7.1overall

   A customer engagement platform for in-app flows, checklists, surveys and lifecycle campaigns, priced by monthly active users.

   Best forProduct and marketing teams running engagement across the full customer lifecycle.

   Appcues ranks ninth because its entry price is the highest we found and the company does not publish a customer count we could cite. The Grow plan starts at $9,000 a year, with price scaling by monthly active users up to 50,000. It includes unlimited seats, every feature and every integration from day one, 25 published experiences, 24 months of reporting history and access to a CX manager and technical success manager. Enterprise is custom and raises the limits to 100 published experiences and 36 months of history, with 24 hours of premium services included. Appcues also offers a migration program that it says moves teams over in about a month while the old tool stays on for two to three weeks. For a company with tens of thousands of users and several teams building campaigns, the ungated plan can make sense; a small product will pay far less with Product Fruits or UserGuiding.

   Strengths

   • +Unlimited seats and ungated features
   • +Published starting price
   • +Help moving from another tool

   Limitations

   • −Highest published entry price on this list
   • −Published experiences capped at 25 on Grow
   • −No customer count published by the company

   SummaryAppcues suits companies with many active users and several teams sharing one engagement tool. Small products will find cheaper entry plans elsewhere.

10. 10

    Apty

    An enterprise digital adoption platform focused on guided processes, data quality and adoption analytics across business applications.

    6.9overall

    An enterprise digital adoption platform focused on guided processes, data quality and adoption analytics across business applications.

    Best forEnterprises that care most about process compliance and data quality in internal apps.

    Adoption data

    1,000+ applicationsApty says more than 1,000 applications run its platform.

    Apty, Apty homepage (2026): “1000+ applications run Apty”

    Apty ranks tenth because it is aimed at a narrower enterprise need and publishes neither prices nor a customer count. Its homepage says more than 1,000 applications run Apty and that it integrates with over 100 enterprise apps. The pricing page says there are no feature tiers: every deployment includes no-code walkthroughs, validations and tooltips, multi-language segments, usage and process analytics, completion and friction tracking, role-based governance, versioning and approval workflows, and enterprise APIs. Price is scoped to users, applications, implementation and compliance needs, and on-premise authoring, white-labeling and professional services are optional add-ons. Field validations are the standout for teams fighting bad data in CRM or ERP systems. For a software owner adding onboarding to a product, though, the lack of public pricing and the internal-app focus make Product Fruits, UserGuiding or Userpilot easier to evaluate.

    Strengths

    • +All core features included in every deployment
    • +Validations help keep data entry clean
    • +On-premise authoring option

    Limitations

    • −No published prices
    • −Built for internal enterprise apps, not SaaS onboarding
    • −Reports applications rather than customers

    SummaryApty fits enterprises that want guided processes and validations in internal systems. Product teams adding customer onboarding have better-documented options.
