A Pendo alternative when guidance matters more than analytics
Pendo is a product experience platform where analytics is the core: usage data, feedback, NPS, and roadmapping, with in-app guides as one module on top. Steperly is guidance-first — record a workflow once and publish the guide, walkthrough video, branded help center, and live in-app walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions
Is Steperly a good Pendo alternative?
If you are evaluating Pendo mainly for in-app guides and help content, yes — Steperly is guidance-first and far lighter to adopt. If you need the analytics, feedback, and roadmap suite, that is Pendo's core and Steperly does not replace it.
Can Steperly and Pendo work together?
Yes. Teams keep Pendo (or any analytics tool) for usage data and use Steperly to produce the guides, videos, and help center that fix the friction the analytics reveal.
What analytics does Steperly include?
Publishing-side analytics: guide views, engagement, walkthrough completion, and guide-health signals that flag steps drifting from the live product. It is not a product analytics suite.
