Verdict

The price gap here is bigger than the feature gap. Usetiful is the cheapest way to get guided onboarding live: a free plan and paid tiers from $29/month, but no NPS and simpler targeting. UserGuiding starts at $174/month billed annually and adds NPS, a knowledge base, and a resource center. For bare-bones tours and checklists, Usetiful is hard to argue with. If you want NPS, feedback widgets, micro-surveys, roadmaps, and changelogs without UserGuiding's price tag, Produktly undercuts both at 19€/month.

Consider Produktly as an Alternative

Produktly matches the budget positioning of both tools at 19€/month while including what they leave out: NPS, micro-surveys, feedback widgets, public roadmaps, changelogs, and announcements, all with a 14-day free trial and a no-code builder.
