Tooltip software lets you add contextual help and guidance elements directly into your product UI. Unlike product tours that guide users through sequences, tooltips provide on-demand help for specific elements.
Smart tips and tooltips as part of a complete adoption platform. No-code editor for placing contextual help on any UI element.
In-app help platform with tooltips, walkthroughs, and a context-sensitive help widget.
Flexible onboarding platform with particularly strong tooltip and launcher customization.
Affordable platform with basic tooltip and hotspot functionality for simple contextual help needs.
Lightweight product tour tool that includes basic tooltip and hotspot functionality.
Look for multiple trigger options: hover, click, page load, and behavior-based. Different contexts need different triggers.
Good tooltip tools auto-position to avoid viewport clipping and overlap with other UI elements.
Show tooltips only to users who need them. First-time users and users who have not used a feature should see tooltips; experienced users should not.
Tooltips should match your product design language perfectly. Look for CSS customization or theme options.
Tooltips provide on-demand help for individual UI elements. Product tours guide users through multi-step sequences. Tooltips are persistent and available whenever needed; tours are typically one-time guided experiences.
Use tooltips for quick, contextual explanations (under 15 words). Use documentation for detailed procedures, conceptual explanations, and reference material. Tooltips should link to documentation for users who want more detail.
Limit active tooltips to 3-5 per page. Too many visual indicators create clutter and overwhelm users. Prioritize tooltips for the most confusing or important elements.
