    Appcues
    It is well suited for SaaS products or services that have a highly complex user interface. Through Appcues, you can ensure that people discover all the existing and new features and make them understand the value of your product as soon as possible to address the evergreen issue of churn. But if your user interface is really messed up, you should change the product itself instead of using a tool like Appcues to explain everything on the screen.

    Userlane
    Well suited:
    • Web-based software with many users, complex processes (or both) --> Easy to fix a lot of common support / training issues very fast
    • Software rollouts with high costs associated to ensure user acceptance is great --> Great feedback from users
    • Multiple applications where processes are adjusted regularly --> Fast to roll out across many apps and easy to maintain
    Not so well suited:
    • Desktop apps -- > Doesn't really work for desktop
    • Mobile apps --> Limited support, only works for web-based mobile apps
    • Small user base (less than 50 users) --> Not required when there are only a few users

    Cons
    Appcues
    • We were extremely surprised that there are not any Appcues used in Appcues. The app is pretty easy to use, once you figure out how to use it. There were not any type of tutorials when we logged in that quickly walked through how to setup a flow.
    • Appcues has lots of support articles, however they are almost so numerous that it was hard to find simple onboarding documentation that we found useful.
    • The different tooltips and product actions are great, but being able to customize the different cues a little bit more by changing sizes and aspect ratios could be an improvement.

    It has a much, much better user interface, better customer care, and of course better pricing. This along with the fact that they were very accommodating for our use case ensured we went ahead with Appcues.
