Pendo
Last reviewed: 2026-05-23
Our take
Pendo is the enterprise default for unified product analytics + in-app guidance + feedback. The free tier (1k MAU) is generous enough to start. PendoAI in 2026 actually makes guide creation faster. Trap: Pendo's enterprise pricing hits the moment you're successful — expect $100k+/year if you scale past 50k MAU.
Who it's for: Series C+ B2B with mature CS+Product collaboration. Multi-product orgs.
Pricing
Custom
