Of course! Thanks for checking it out.


Glad you like!


Oh yeah, this is a great resource for sure.


Great suggestion! Appreciate the feedback. We'll take a look at some edits to make the content pop a bit more.


100%. Building from scratch, or "doing nothing," is probably the biggest competitor we're up against.


If there's one main point, I think it's this from their website: "Userflow works as a layer on top of your app, containing tooltips, modals, buttons and more."

We don't "sit on top of your app." We're built into your actual app natively which makes it easier to build for both quality and any custom functionality you need.


We're taking the same developer-centric approach to onboarding at Dopt and this really is fundamentally different than the existing tools (Userflow, Pendo, Appcues, etc...).

I wrote up some longer thoughts on why their approach breaks down https://blog.dopt.com/dopt-vs-other-tools


We'd be happy to waive any fees for non-profits. Send me a note at [email protected] and we can get you access.


Ha glad the feedback made it to the team and was useful!


1. We've not focused on mobile right now, but you can see the original RN package we built here (https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-onboard). For pricing, we're still figuring that out, but it would be competitive with Appcues e.g. free trial and starting around $299/mo

2. Thanks for the feedback. We'll get the docs live ASAP.

3. When we say native we just mean it's not a janky iframe or web view, it's actual React Native code.


I'm your target customer, as we're thinking about building this right now.

I just checked out Appcues (didn't know about it until this post), and got sticker shock at the cost.

IMO, $299/mth is high for the value this delivers, however it's possible I don't have a full appreciation of what you're doing yet.

Also, we're a startup, so I'm keen to understand when your pricing kicks in.

Have signed up for your beta!


Cool, thanks for the resources and being open about the feedback


Thank you
