Userflow alternatives
Looking for a Userflow alternative?
Userflow is now part of Beamer, and an acquisition is a natural moment to re-check that your onboarding tool still fits on price and roadmap. This is a factual look at what changed, what to look for, and five alternatives - including one that puts tours, checklists, and your changelog in a single widget instead of two stitched products.

What changed with Userflow?
The facts, without spin.
It's now part of Beamer
Userflow, a no-code in-app onboarding builder, was acquired by Beamer, a changelog and notification tool. The product continues to run; the change is who owns the roadmap.
Pricing is still MAU-metered
Userflow's entry is roughly $240/month annually on a monthly-active-user allowance that steps up as your active users grow - the tiered model teams often want to leave.
Two products, not one
Tours come from Userflow and changelog comes from Beamer. If you want both, you're combining two tools and two scripts rather than running one widget.
What to look for in a replacement
Predictable pricing
Prefer pricing you can work out in advance. AnnounceKit Product Tours are $69/month ($55 billed annually) with 10,000 MAU included and one overage rate of $25 per 5,000 - no seats, no tiers to climb.
One widget, not a stitched suite
Onboarding tours, checklists, changelog, and feature requests in a single widget beat maintaining several scripts that were never designed together.
Real measurement
Look for goals and a step-by-step drop-off funnel, not just a completion count, so you can prove a tour changed behaviour.

Native, not stitched
Tours and changelog in one widget - by design
Because Userflow and Beamer are separate products, getting tours plus a changelog means running two tools. AnnounceKit ships onboarding tours (modal, pointer, hotspot), checklists, a hosted changelog, and feature requests through the same widget, on the same theme, targeted to the same segments - one script your users already see.
- Modal, pointer, and hotspot tour steps
- Onboarding checklists with click, link, URL, and event completion
- Segment + page targeting with frequency control
- Goals and a step-by-step drop-off funnel
Frequently asked questions
Is Userflow still available after the Beamer acquisition?
Yes. Userflow was acquired by Beamer and continues to operate. The reason many teams re-evaluate after an acquisition is roadmap and pricing direction, not immediate availability - it's a good moment to confirm the tool still fits before you renew.
What should I look for in a Userflow alternative?
Check the pricing model (one published MAU rate vs tiered MAU plans), whether onboarding and your changelog live in one product or two stitched together, the tour step types on offer (modal, pointer, hotspot), targeting by segment and page, and whether goals and a drop-off funnel are built in. A single widget for tours, checklists, changelog, and feature requests avoids maintaining several scripts.
What is the best Userflow alternative with a built-in changelog?
AnnounceKit is the option that ships onboarding tours and checklists alongside a hosted changelog and feature-request boards in one widget. Because Userflow (tours) and Beamer (changelog) are two products, AnnounceKit's single widget is the more consolidated alternative for teams that want both.
How much does AnnounceKit cost compared to Userflow?
AnnounceKit Product Tours are $69/month ($55/month billed annually) with 10,000 MAU included per workspace, then $25 per additional 5,000 MAU. Userflow's entry is roughly $240/month annually on a monthly-active-user allowance that steps up as you grow, as of September 2026.
