WHAT IS IT?
Usertour is an open-source platform for building guided product tours, onboarding checklists and in-app surveys. Designed as a self-hostable alternative to Userflow and Appcues, it integrates with any frontend framework through a lightweight JavaScript SDK.
WHY IS IT INTERESTING?
- Open-source and self-hostable: Deployable via Docker, keeping data under your control. The community edition is MIT-licensed.
- Framework-agnostic: The JavaScript SDK works with React, Vue, Angular or any web app — no framework lock-in.
- Visual builder: Create tours and checklists through a no-code editor without touching application code.
- Advanced user targeting: Segmentation by custom attributes and events, multi-environment management (production, staging) and content versioning.
- Analytics and tracking: Performance metrics, drop-off identification and completion tracking to iterate on onboarding flows.
USE CASES
- Guide new users through key SaaS features during their first session
- Deploy activation checklists to boost trial-to-paid conversion rates
- Collect user feedback with contextual in-app surveys without leaving the application
- Announce new features with targeted tooltips for specific user segments
