Guidez

Guidez is a no-code platform for creating and targeting product onboarding experiences. It is best suited to product managers, growth teams, and founders who want tours, checklists, and related guidance in one tool. Pro adds integrations and programmatic controls, but its active-user charges make growth costs worth watching.

Overview

Guidez combines in-app tours, onboarding checklists, contextual guides, banners, surveys, and funnel analytics. Its AI tour builder reads a live product and can draft a tour, checklist, or survey from a described goal; that can help teams get started, though generated flows still need to match the product’s actual user journey.

Targeting uses URL patterns, custom attributes, event history, and AND/OR conditions. This lets teams distinguish audiences and circumstances rather than presenting every user with the same guidance, but the value depends on setting useful targeting rules. A Chrome extension supports building, previewing, and publishing tours from a browser.

Guidez says its SDK does not record end-user keystrokes, form inputs, screenshots, or video sessions. The company states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and that data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3.

Key features

Formats, targeting, and connections

The mix of tours, checklists, contextual guides, banners, surveys, and funnel analytics gives teams several ways to support onboarding without relying on a single tour format. Guidez lists 20+ integrations, including Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, Intercom, Zendesk, Jira, Google Tag Manager, and Zapier. That breadth can connect onboarding work to common product, support, and analytics tools.

Browser authoring and API access

The Chrome extension keeps tour creation, preview, and publishing in the browser. Pro also includes webhooks and REST and GraphQL API access for programmatic management, making it the stronger fit for teams that need to manage onboarding through code or connect it to internal workflows. Those controls are not part of Hobby.

Pricing

Guidez has a free Hobby plan and a Pro plan at $79 /mo. Hobby includes 100 monthly active users, one team member, one environment, and community forum and public documentation access. That is a useful entry point for a small evaluation or tightly limited deployment, but the user cap and single-seat restriction leave little room for a growing team.

Pro costs $79 /mo and includes 2,500 monthly active users, unlimited team members and environments, and priority email support with a one business day response guarantee. Each additional monthly active user costs $0.01, so teams should account for usage beyond the included quota. Pro is the practical choice for multi-person teams that need more capacity, API access, or faster support; its usage charge may be a drawback when active-user volume is hard to predict.

Platforms

Guidez supports web, API, and a Chrome extension. The extension is specifically for building, previewing, and publishing tours from the browser, while Pro’s API access supports programmatic management.

Who it's for

Guidez is a good match for product managers, growth teams, and founders who want to create contextual onboarding without coding and use multiple formats to guide users. Teams with a limited audience can start on Hobby, while teams that need additional seats, environments, API access, or priority support will need Pro. It is less suitable for a team that must keep costs fixed as monthly active users increase.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Tours, checklists, contextual guides, banners, surveys, and funnel analytics cover several onboarding needs in one platform.
• Pros: URL, attribute, event-history, and conditional targeting can tailor guidance to user context.
• Pros: Pro provides unlimited team members and environments, plus API access and a one-business-day support response guarantee.
• Cons: Hobby is capped at 100 monthly active users, one team member, and one environment.
• Cons: Pro adds a $0.01 charge for every monthly active user above its 2,500-user allowance, so costs rise with usage.

Alternatives

Choose Wakeline if you need Android or iOS support alongside web and extension, or want its free plan’s 1,000 monthly active users and three flows. Driver.js is a free option for unlimited projects and personal or commercial use without attribution requirements. Consider Candu if overlays are the priority: its free plan includes three live overlay experiences and unlimited user licenses, while Starter is $199 a month billed annually.

Clew may suit teams seeking a self-hosted option; its free plan covers one site, one team seat, up to three published tours, and one month of analytics history. Tour Kit offers a free development, evaluation, testing, CI, and preview-deployment plan, with a license key required for production use. For a free, open-source web option, Guida.js uses an MIT license, is about 4.8kB minified and gzipped, and has no external dependencies. Guide.js is another free web alternative.

GuideMark is worth considering if you prefer a paid plan priced in EUR with selectable monthly active-user volumes; its Pro plan is €19 a month, billed annually, and includes a 14-day grace period when the MAU limit is exceeded.

Verdict

Guidez is a strong fit for teams that want targeted, no-code onboarding across several content formats, especially when Pro’s API access and support matter. Hobby’s 100-user ceiling makes it a narrow starting point, and Pro’s per-user overage charge is the key reason to compare alternatives if your audience is large or growing quickly.
