Helping customers get started can involve guided steps, resources, and ways to see how onboarding is progressing. Compare guided tours with onboarding checklists, and consider customer segmentation if different audiences need different paths. Pendo Analytics, Stonly, and Appcues are among the options shown. Completion analytics and a resource center add other criteria for assessing progress and self-service materials. API access may also matter for your setup. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help frame access and cost as you compare the listed capabilities with the onboarding experience you want to provide.
