Appcues alternative

Hopscotch is the simple and affordable Appcues alternative built to onboard SaaS users with ease.

Overview

Appcues is a great user onboarding tool, but it can be quite complex to use and it comes with a steep price.

If your SaaS has simple needs (ex: product tours and welcome messages), or simply cannot justify the higher price point, then you will want to use an affordable Appcues alternative such as Hopscotch Product Tours.

Pricing comparison

⛔️ Appcues

Starts at $249/month

Depending on the number of monthly active users you have, the starting price could be $649/month or more.

✅ Hopscotch

Starts at $99/mo

Hopscotch plans scale with you as you grow. The starter plan is $99/month for unlimited tours.

Features comparison

Appcues and Hopscotch Product Tours both have similar features for building product tours and in-app messaging. They also both have advanced targeting capabilities in order to show specific messages to the specific user segments.

The Appcues builder can be difficult to use because it has many extra features for changing the look, feel, and placement of the messages. This can be overkill for many companies that really want something that is simple. The Hopscotch builder is simple and easy to work with.

Appcues has more advanced features, including checklists, but these features are only available in plans that start at $879/month paid annually. This is way out of the budget for many small businesses, and is largely why Hopscotch is a great alternative to Appcues.

FAQs

A Monthly Active User is any unique visitor who loads a page containing the Hopscotch script within a calendar month. We don't charge for inactive users who might exist in your database but don't sign in or visit your app during that month. If you surpass your monthly limit, we’ll upgrade you automatically to the appropriate plan and we’ll contact you by email well in advance to let you know.

If you've used tools like Pendo, Appcues, or Userflow and felt like you couldn't get your tours, tooltips, and surveys to look and feel exactly as you want them without jumping through hoops... or spending a boatload... that's the gap Hopscotch is built to close.

Higher ROI: You get way more than you spend with Hopscotch. Starting at $99, Hopscotch has hundreds of out-of-the-box targeting options and analytics to optimize onboarding and reduce churn.

Simplicity: Other tools advertise no-code, but in actuality, require hours of dev work to get going. Hopscotch is truly no-code.

Support: We’re profitable, growing 6x YoY, in large part because we have the best support in the industry. Every plan comes with live support.

Hopscotch is used by 250+ SaaS businesses, including companies like Siemens, Apartment Therapy, Credibly, Zybooks, and many more. Our users are generally members of product, design, and customer experience teams.

Unfortunately, Hopscotch does not support mobile applications at this time.

Our handy Chrome Extension enables you to see your experiences in your app without ever bugging a developer! This is available in your dashboard and does not need any code installation.

To go live with your experiences within your actual product or application, you will need to install the Hopscotch code snippet. If you use Segment or Google Tag Manager you may not need a developer, but if not, you will need someone who is able to add the code snippet manually. One line of code is all it takes to use Hopscotch.
