Which one fits
What Whatfix does well
- Structured training programmes for employees
- Self-help widgets that combine flows and help articles
- Analytics on how employees use internal tools
Choose Whatfix if
- You run formal training on internal tools and want an authored curriculum with completion tracking.
- You already have a content team that writes and maintains in-app material.
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 Whatfix, 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.

Questions about switching from Whatfix
Can I switch from Whatfix to Wayhint?
Yes. Add the Wayhint script tag next to Whatfix, try Pepper on the pages where people get stuck, then remove the old tags when you are ready. Wayhint doesn't need authored flows, so there is nothing to migrate first.
Is Wayhint cheaper than Whatfix?
Wayhint publishes its prices: free up to 500 monthly active users, $149 and $499 per month, and Business from $15k per year (early access: billing isn't open yet). Whatfix, as of October 2026: quote only. Reported median contract about $32k per year (Vendr). Check the vendor for current pricing.
What does Wayhint not do yet?
Wayhint is new. It guides in web pages only (no desktop apps), has no surveys or NPS, and goal analytics are still being built. If you need those today, a mature platform may fit better.
