What product tour software is, and what it isn’t

Product tour software helps you guide users through your SaaS product. Tooltips that explain a button. Modals that walk a new user through their first task. Checklists that track progress through key steps. The tools on this list all do some version of that, in your live product, for your users.

Three other categories often get confused for product tours, but they’re different jobs and this article doesn’t cover them:

Interactive demo tools (Walnut, Navattic, Storylane). These build clickable replicas of your product for sales and marketing, embedded on your homepage or sent to prospects. They live outside your product. If you want to show off your product to people who haven’t signed up yet, this is the category you want.

Video walkthroughs (Loom, Guidde, Arcade). Recordings of someone using your product, sometimes with interactive overlays. Great for help docs and standalone explainer videos. Not interactive in your live product, so users can’t actually do the thing while learning.

Employee onboarding software (Enboarder, BambooHR). For onboarding your new hires onto company tools and HR processes, not for onboarding your customers onto your SaaS.

This article is about product tour software. If that’s what you’re looking for, read on.

The 20 tools

Built for early-stage SaaS

FlowNavi

Editor’s note: FlowNavi is our product. Obviously we are biased, but we try to be as objective as possible.

FlowNavi covers the basics: tours, tooltips, checklists, and hotspots, with segmentation and analytics. The feature set is narrow by design, which keeps the learning curve low. The trade-off: if you need deep customizability, one of the more expensive tools on this list will be a better fit.

Key features

• Visual no-code builder: Build tours, checklists, and tooltips on top of your live product through a Chrome extension.
• Segmentation and analytics: Show tours to specific user segments. Track completion rates and drop-offs.
• Custom styling: Match colors and fonts to your brand.

Pricing. From $79/month. Free trial available.

Best for: solo founders and small SaaS teams who want straightforward onboarding without the price or complexity of enterprise tools.

Hopscotch

Hopscotch sits one tier up from the most minimal product tour tools, with a broader feature set and more sophisticated user targeting. It’s positioned for fast-moving SaaS startups that need more than just tours and tooltips.

Key features

• No-code drag-and-drop builder: Build tours, tooltips, announcements, and surveys without touching code.

Pricing. From $99/month. Free trial available.

Best for: SaaS startups that want broader functionality than bare-bones tools without paying enterprise prices.

Product Fruits

Product Fruits goes wide where most product tour tools stay narrow: tours, an in-app knowledge base, NPS surveys, in-app announcements, and an AI support copilot, all in one platform. They lean heavily into AI, with adaptive tours that change based on user behavior and an AI copilot for support. The trade-off is the bundle price: you pay for everything even if you only need tours.

Key features

• AI Copilot (Elvin): In-app AI assistant that answers user questions, automating support.
• Adaptive product tours: Tours adjust in real time based on what users do.

Pricing. From $111/month. Free trial available.

Best for: teams that want one platform for tours, knowledge base and surveys instead of stitching together separate tools.

UserGuiding

UserGuiding has been in the no-code product tour space since 2016. The feature set covers tours, tooltips, checklists, resource centers, in-app surveys, and analytics, broad for an entry-tier tool. Their positioning has stayed consistent: no-code product adoption for startups and SMB SaaS teams.

Key features

• No-code drag-and-drop builder: Build tours, tooltips, checklists, and surveys without code.
• Resource center: Searchable in-app help hub that lives alongside the tours.

Pricing. From $279/month. Free trial available.

Best for: mid-market SaaS teams that want experiences that look and feel native to their product, with A/B testing and AI built in.

Frigade

Frigade is an AI assistant for in-app onboarding that learns your product by using it, then generates tours and nudges automatically. The AI detects product changes and updates tours so they keep working when your UI changes.

Key features

• AI learns your product: Frigade uses your product to understand how it works, then generates tours from that understanding.
• Self-healing tours: When your UI changes, Frigade detects it and updates tour element selectors. Tours keep working through redesigns.

Intercom Product Tours

Intercom Product Tours is one feature inside Intercom’s broader customer service and messaging platform. It’s bundled with surveys, in-app messages, mobile push, and carousels in the Proactive Support Plus add-on. Tours share Intercom’s audience segments and triggers, so onboarding can use the same user attributes you already manage for support chat and other messages.

Key features

• Bundled with surveys, in-app messages, mobile push, and carousels: All five message types run from one tool with shared segments.
• Reuses your Intercom audience segments: Trigger tours based on the same user attributes you already use for support chat and other messaging.

Built for enterprise

Most tools in this tier support both customer-facing onboarding and internal employee training. The majority skew toward employee enablement (rolling out Salesforce, SAP, Workday to your workforce). Pendo is the main customer-facing exception. If you’re building onboarding for SaaS end users specifically, the early-stage and mid-market tiers above are usually a better fit.

Apty

Apty is an enterprise digital adoption platform that supports both employee enablement and customer-facing onboarding. Their pitch is AI-powered guidance plus a ROI Guarantee: if you don’t see 2x ROI in year one, they refund your investment.

Key features

Frequently asked questions

What is product tour software?

Product tour software helps you guide users through your SaaS product after they sign up. It includes tooltips, modals, walkthroughs, checklists, and hotspots that activate inside your live application to help users discover features, complete setup, or learn specific workflows.

How is product tour software different from interactive demos?

Product tour software runs inside your live SaaS product to guide signed-up users. Interactive demo software creates clickable replicas of your product to embed on your homepage or send to prospects who haven’t signed up yet. Both use similar UI patterns (clickable steps, tooltips, walkthroughs), but they’re for different jobs and different teams: tours are for product/CS teams driving activation, demos are for sales and marketing driving conversion.

Do I need a dedicated tour tool if I already have Intercom or Pendo?

Probably not. If you’re already paying for Intercom or Pendo, the in-app tours those platforms ship are good enough for most onboarding use cases, and you save on integrating another vendor into your stack. Look at a dedicated tour tool only if you have a specific need that the integrated tools don’t handle well: very deep design customization, a specific AI capability, a unique pricing fit, or a dev-first SDK approach.

What’s the difference between no-code and developer-first tools?

No-code tools (most of the list, including Appcues, Userpilot, FlowNavi) let CS, PM, or marketing teams build and edit tours through a visual builder, often a Chrome extension. Developer-first tools (Frigade is the only one on this list) ship tours as code components inside your codebase, deployed with your app. Developer-first wins when you need deep integration with internal app state or want experiences to feel 100% native to your product’s design. The trade-off: PM and CS can’t iterate on tours alone, every change needs engineering time.

How much does product tour software typically cost?

Pricing in this category ranges widely. On the low end tools start at $79/month (FlowNavi). Mid-market tools typically run $150-300/month for entry tiers (Userpilot, Userflow, Chameleon, Jimo). Enterprise digital adoption platforms (WalkMe, Whatfix, Pendo’s higher tiers, etc.) hide pricing behind contact-sales and typically run into five-figure monthly contracts. A few tools have legitimate free tiers worth knowing about: Pendo , Frigade, and Tango.

Are there any open-source product tour libraries worth using?

Yes, three are worth knowing about. Intro.js, Shepherd.js, and Driver.js are all actively maintained and used in production by SaaS teams that want full control over their tours. The trade-off: you write the tour logic yourself, you maintain it as your UI changes, you build the analytics, and you handle segmentation yourself. Open-source makes sense if your team has the engineering bandwidth and wants tours that feel exactly like part of your product.

Building onboarding for your own SaaS?

Picking the right product tour tool depends on your team size, your stack, and your budget. The use-case table above maps the most common shapes.

If you’re a solo founder or a small SaaS team, FlowNavi is built for you: easy to use and affordable ($79/month). If your needs go beyond what FlowNavi covers, the other 19 tools above are a solid shortlist to evaluate.
