StepprLooking for a Userflow alternative?
A polished, developer-friendly no-code platform for tours, checklists, surveys, and resource centers - aimed at funded PLG teams.
Userflow is a polished, full-featured adoption platform whose Startup plan starts at $240/mo (annual) and adds surveys, a resource center with KB search, analytics, and a strong API. It targets funded PLG teams, and MAU overages auto-bill rather than hard-cap. Steppr undercuts it on price and billing simplicity by focusing on the tours / checklists / announcements core.
Starter plan, monthly billing, hard cap. 7-day trial with no card. Annual billing offers two months free; Growth plan adds event triggers and 10,000 MAU.
The Startup plan is $240/mo on annual billing or $300/mo monthly, for ~3,000 MAU and 3 seats. MAU counts anyone who visits your app in a rolling 30-day window. No permanent free plan - just a 14-day full-feature trial (no card). Pro is $680/mo annual for ~10,000 MAU; Enterprise is custom.

- You want surveys / NPS and a built-in resource center with help-center search in one tool.

- You need analytics integrations (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment) and CRM sync (Salesforce, HubSpot).
