Appcues vs Frill

Appcues helps teams create in-product experiences for onboarding users, encouraging feature adoption, collecting feedback, and reducing support requests without engineering help for every change. Its formats include Flows, Checklists, Launchpads, Banners, Pins, NPS and Surveys, and Workflows. A Chrome extension, Appcues Builder, creates Flows, Pins, and Banners; Appcues Studio is a web dashboard for other experience types, targeting, themes, analytics, and administration. Mobile support covers native iOS and Android apps as well as React Native, Flutter, and Ionic through a mobile SDK. Mobile experiences include Flows, Surveys, Embeds, and push notifications, with targeting, translation, themes, and analytics. Appcues Analytics offers trends, funnels, paths, retention curves, contextualized events, segments, dashboards, reports, and AI analysis. Appcues AI is included on every plan and can plan, troubleshoot, build, segment, and analyze experiences using Appcues data. Pricing is on request; a free trial requires no credit card.

Frill is a paid customer-feedback platform for collecting ideas, organizing requests, surveying users, and sharing product progress. Ideas boards let customers submit, vote, and comment; teams can classify ideas by topic or status, merge duplicates, and track feedback. Public Roadmaps show planned work and progress, while Announcements provide changelog-style updates with reactions and comments. Surveys include NPS, CSAT, Idea Polls, Quick Polls, and Open Feedback, embedded in a product and targeted by segment. An embeddable widget combines Ideas, Roadmap, and Announcements in popover, modal, sidebar, or inline styles. A Chrome extension uses AI to turn highlighted text into a titled idea. Integrations include Jira, Linear, Trello, Slack, Zendesk, Intercom, HelpScout, Zapier, Pabbly Connect, and Integrately, with webhooks and an API for custom connections. Frill runs on web, API, and extension platforms. Plans start at $25 a month, and a 14-day trial is available.
