Which one fits
What Userpilot does well
- Onboarding checklists and tours for SaaS products
- In-app surveys and NPS
- Segmenting users for targeted messages
Choose Userpilot if
- You want a scripted first-run tour that every new user sees in the same order.
- Surveys and growth experiments matter as much as guidance.
Choose Wayhint if
- You don’t have a team to write and maintain flows, and don’t want one.
- Your UI ships often and guidance should keep up without re-recording.
- Your users arrive with a specific task in mind, in their own words.
- You want to start free and see prices before talking to anyone.
- You want the option to run the guide in your own infrastructure (planned for Business).
Be aware
Wayhint is new. It works in web pages only, has no surveys or NPS, and goal analytics are still being built. It guides; it doesn’t replace a full adoption suite.
The main difference: who writes the guidance
With Userpilot, guidance is typically built in advance: someone decides which journeys deserve it, then builds them. That gives you control over wording and order, and it takes time on each journey and when screens change.
With Wayhint, nobody has to write the journey. The user says what they want, and Pepper decides one step at a time from the live page, using an app map learned from observe mode and an explorer run. You can still add short notes and flows, but nothing depends on them.
