Driver.js vs Guidez

Driver.js is a free JavaScript library for product tours, page highlights, and contextual help. It can guide users through a sequence of steps or draw attention to a single page element with a popover. Clickable hints appear as pulsing beacons and open popovers, optionally with a page overlay. Listed uses include onboarding, interactive tutorials, feature adoption, form guidance, and focusing attention. Configuration can be applied globally, to individual steps, or while a tour is running. The library works with any framework or library as well as vanilla JavaScript; it can be installed using npm, pnpm, or yarn, or loaded from a CDN. Its homepage describes it as dependency-free and about 5 KB. Driver.js is open source under the MIT license, with personal and commercial use and no attribution required. The maker also lists accessibility and support for major browsers and mobile devices. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, and web. One API constraint is that only one Driver.js instance can be active on screen at a time.

Guidez is a no-code product onboarding platform for creating tours, checklists, banners, surveys, and funnel analytics. Its AI tour builder reads a live product and can generate a tour, checklist, or survey from a described goal. Teams can target tours using URL patterns, custom attributes, event history, and AND/OR conditions. A Chrome extension supports building, previewing, and publishing tours from a browser. The Hobby plan costs nothing and is limited to 100 monthly active users, one team member, and one environment; it includes community forum and public documentation access. Pro costs $79 a month and includes 2,500 monthly active users, unlimited team members and environments, and priority email support with a one-business-day response guarantee.

Guidez lists 20+ integrations, including Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, Intercom, Zendesk, Jira, Google Tag Manager, and Zapier. The company says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and that its SDK does not record keystrokes, form inputs, screenshots, or video sessions.
