Why Switch

Why teams switch from UserGuiding to Userpilot

UserGuiding is fine for basic onboarding, but it has no product analytics, no session replay, can't track events without developers, no email, and caps surveys. Userpilot gives you all of it in one platform - so the "cheaper" tool doesn't end up costing more once you grow.

Analytics UserGuiding Doesn't Have

UserGuiding has no product analytics. Userpilot gives you dashboards for activation, adoption, funnels, retention, and paths - so you're never flying blind.

Track Events Without Developers

UserGuiding can't track events without dev help. Userpilot autocaptures events with no code, so your product team gets data from day one.

See Every Session

UserGuiding has no session replay. Userpilot lets you watch real sessions and jump from a funnel drop-off straight to the replay.

Unlimited Surveys

UserGuiding caps you at 10 active surveys on its Growth plan. Userpilot has no limit - run as many as you need, with advanced logic and branching.

One Platform, No Add-Ons

Email, analytics, and session replay are all included. With UserGuiding you'd bolt on separate tools - which is exactly where the "cheaper" price disappears.

AI That Reads Your Whole Product

Lia analyzes almost all of your workspace data and surfaces what matters - the kind of AI a basic onboarding tool simply doesn't have.
