Target by trait or segment, set frequency, ship in seconds. Then watch the step funnel, the click actions and the survey responses.
live in seconds
Build product tours on your real app — not a mockup.
Wakeline loads your live site and overlays a builder on top of it. Click an element to anchor a step, choose a template, set targeting, preview and publish. For the screens behind your login, the browser extension does the same on your own authenticated session.
- Point-and-click targetingClick any element to anchor a step — it stays locked on as your app changes.
- Per-step designEvery step inherits your brand theme, and any of it can be overridden.
- Targeting that's actually specificAudience, trait rules, saved segments, triggers, frequency caps.

Onboarding analytics that show what moves activation.
A guide you can't measure is a guess. Every flow reports who saw it, which step lost them, what they clicked and how they answered — so you can tell an onboarding change that worked from one that just shipped.

What is user onboarding software?
User onboarding software lets you add guidance on top of your product — product tours, tooltips, checklists, banners and surveys — without changing your application code. It exists so product and growth teams can shape the first-run experience, explain new features, and measure activation on their own schedule instead of waiting for an engineering release.
Do I need a developer to use Wakeline?
A developer pastes one script tag into your app once — that is the only engineering work. After that you build and publish every guide from the Wakeline dashboard by pointing at elements on your live site, so shipping a product tour never needs a code change or a deploy.
Is Wakeline an alternative to Appcues, Pendo or Userpilot?
Yes. Wakeline covers the same core job as those digital adoption platforms — product tours, onboarding checklists, tooltips, in-app announcements and NPS surveys, with targeting and analytics — and it is self-serve. You can sign up, install it and publish a guide the same day without a demo call, and the paid plan starts at $49 a month.
Does Wakeline work with React, Vue, Angular or plain HTML?
Yes. Wakeline runs entirely in the browser and anchors to elements in the rendered DOM, so it is framework-agnostic — React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Rails, Django, WordPress or hand-written HTML all work the same way. There is no framework SDK to install and no build step to change.
Will it slow down my app?
The Wakeline script is about 24 KB gzipped and loads asynchronously, so it never blocks rendering or delays your page. Guides render inside a shadow DOM, which means Wakeline's styles cannot leak into your app and your app's CSS cannot break a guide.
Can I build guides on pages behind a login?
Yes. The Wakeline browser extension opens the builder on top of your own authenticated session, so you can point at elements on signed-in screens — dashboards, settings, billing — exactly as you would on a public page.
How do I know whether onboarding is working?
Every guide reports how many users started it, where they dropped off, which buttons they clicked and how they answered your surveys. You get step-by-step funnels, trends over time, exportable survey responses and session replay, so you can tell which onboarding flow actually moves activation rather than guessing.
How much does Wakeline cost?
Wakeline has a free plan with 3 flows and 1,000 monthly active users, which needs no credit card. Pro is $49 a month for 25,000 monthly active users with audience targeting and analytics, and Business is $199 a month for 250,000 monthly active users and unlimited flows.
