Appcues
It is well suited for SaaS products or services that have a highly complex user interface. Through Appcues, you can ensure that people discover all the existing and new features and make them understand the value of your product as soon as possible to address the evergreen issue of churn. But if your user interface is really messed up, you should change the product itself instead of using a tool like Appcues to explain everything on the screen.

Userpilot
Userpilot is very handy for those companies looking for a solution that can be implemented by someone other than a developer. Sure, the developer has to do the initial implementation but once that's done (took us about a day) then literally anyone else can create content. It has saved us a bunch of time not having to build and maintain a homegrown solution.
Despite the plugin and Web App being a bit clunky, overall it has been a positive experience. I've especially appreciated the help from the support team. They've always responded to me within a day and come up with creative solutions for what I'm trying to do. I've learned from my interactions with them that though it may not be as intuitive as you'd like, there's usually a solution.

Cons
Appcues
  • We were extremely surprised that there are not any Appcues used in Appcues. The app is pretty easy to use, once you figure out how to use it. There were not any type of tutorials when we logged in that quickly walked through how to setup a flow.
  • Appcues has lots of support articles, however they are almost so numerous that it was hard to find simple onboarding documentation that we found useful.
  • The different tooltips and product actions are great, but being able to customize the different cues a little bit more by changing sizes and aspect ratios could be an improvement.

It has a much, much better user interface, better customer care, and of course better pricing. This along with the fact that they were very accommodating for our use case ensured we went ahead with Appcues.
