Usertour

Usertour is an open-source platform for creating in-app guidance such as product tours, onboarding flows, and contextual UI hints for your web application. It provides a builder and runtime that lets you design step-by-step walkthroughs and trigger them based on user context, helping teams onboard users and drive feature adoption.

Key Features

• Create step-by-step product tours/walkthroughs that attach to specific UI elements
• Targeting/segmentation to show flows to specific user cohorts and states
• Event- and context-based triggering for starting tours at the right moment
• Basic performance/usage insights to understand tour completion and drop-off
• Embeddable client snippet/SDK to run tours inside your app
• Admin UI to manage, edit, and publish onboarding content

Use Cases

• Onboard new users with a guided “first-run” checklist and tour
• Announce and explain new features with contextual walkthroughs
• Reduce support load by adding in-app, just-in-time guidance

Limitations and Considerations

• Feature depth and integrations may be lighter than mature commercial onboarding suites; evaluate SDK capabilities and analytics needs for your product.

Usertour is a good fit for teams that want control over onboarding UX and data while running product tours on their own infrastructure. It’s especially useful for SaaS products that need contextual, role-based guidance without relying on third-party hosted tooling.
