Overview

Appcues is a no-code platform for creating in-app user experiences — product tours, tooltips, checklists, modals, and surveys — aimed at improving user onboarding, feature adoption, and engagement without requiring engineering effort for every change.

Founded in 2013 and based in Boston, Massachusetts, Appcues serves product, growth, and customer success teams, primarily at SaaS and software companies.

Key Features

The platform provides a visual, no-code builder for in-app messages and guided flows, along with user segmentation to target specific cohorts, analytics to measure the impact of experiences on activation and retention, and integrations with common product analytics, CRM, and data tools.

Appcues has added AI-assisted capabilities to help teams draft and launch experiences faster using prompt-driven building.

Pricing and Fit

Appcues prices its Start, Grow, and Enterprise tiers primarily by monthly active user (MAU) volume rather than by feature access — every plan includes the full feature set. Exact prices are not published; prospective customers must contact sales for a quote, though the platform also runs a Spark program for small teams building their first in-app experience.
