Frequently asked questions
Is Steperly a good Whatfix alternative?
For SaaS teams guiding users in their own product, yes — recording-first content, help centers, and live walkthroughs with same-day setup. For adoption programs spanning desktop, VDI, and many third-party apps, Whatfix is built for that scale.
Does Steperly offer self-help inside the app?
Yes. Help Mode and the embed SDK let users open guides and live walkthroughs in context, and the same content powers your public help center so answers exist in both places.
What does maintenance look like compared to a DAP?
Lighter by design: content comes from recordings, so updates are re-recordings rather than flow rebuilds, and guide-health signals point you at the steps that actually drifted.
