Alternatives to popular onboarding tools

Outgrew your current product tour or onboarding platform? Each roundup ranks the best alternatives for a specific tool, Appcues, Pendo, WalkMe, Userpilot, UserGuiding, React Joyride, Shepherd.js, Driver.js, Intro.js, and others, across developer experience, framework support, bundle size, accessibility, licensing, pricing, and project health (release cadence, open issues, maintainer responsiveness). We also flag the migration cost: API surface differences, behavioral gaps, and the migration patterns that have worked for teams who have already made the switch. Use these to shortlist three options worth a serious evaluation.
