FAQ

Frequently asked questions about startups

Yes. Guidez starts completely free (no credit card, no time limit) and is designed for teams that can't wait for engineering. Founders and product managers build and publish tours without any technical dependencies. The AI generator creates complete flows in seconds.
Guidez starts free. Appcues starts at $249/month. For a startup, that's $3,000/year just to get started. Guidez also has AI tour generation (Appcues doesn't) and session-based pricing that doesn't penalize you as your user base grows.
Yes — completely. After a one-time snippet installation (10 minutes, copy-paste), your entire team builds, edits, and publishes onboarding flows independently. No dev tickets, no deployment pipeline, no code reviews.
Yes. Session-based pricing means your bill grows only when your usage grows — and it grows linearly, not exponentially like MAU-based pricing. The Starter plan ($99/mo) covers 50,000 sessions. Growth ($199/mo) covers 100,000. You're never penalized for success.
A 10-point improvement in activation rate (sign-up to first value) typically increases 90-day retention by 20–30% and LTV by 40%+. For a startup charging $100/month with 1,000 users, improving activation from 30% to 40% adds $120k–$180k in annualized revenue.
