Usetiful Alternative for Product Tours

Cueston vs Usetiful after the Fullstory acquisition: where Usetiful’s guides are sold now, what they cost, and when Fullstory is the better choice.

Usetiful was a digital adoption platform for in-app guides and surveys. Fullstory announced it had acquired Usetiful on November 3, 2025, and usetiful.com/pricing now redirects to that announcement. On Fullstory’s plans page, Guides and Surveys is listed as an add-on for the Business, Advanced and Enterprise analytics plans, and none of those plans shows a price: each links to a pricing request.

If you chose Usetiful because it was simple and you could see the price, Cueston works the same way: tours, tooltips, banners, checklists, surveys and announcements, with public prices and a free plan. It doesn’t include session replay or full product analytics.

When Fullstory is the better fit

  • You already pay for Fullstory, or plan to, and want guides and surveys in the same contract as your analytics.
  • You want guides triggered by behaviour data that Fullstory already collects about your users.
  • You prefer one vendor for analytics and in-app guidance, and a negotiated price suits you.

When Cueston is the better fit

  • You want to see the price before you talk to anyone. Cueston’s plans are on its pricing page; Fullstory’s plans link to a pricing request.
  • You want in-app guidance without buying an analytics plan. Fullstory sells Guides and Surveys as an add-on to a paid analytics plan.
  • You want to start free. Cueston’s free plan includes 3 live guides and 1,000 monthly active users.
  • You want an AI chat that answers users from your help docs and product UI, and help offered when people struggle.

What each costs

Fullstory: Guides and Surveys is an add-on to the Business, Advanced and Enterprise plans. Prices aren’t published; you request a quote. Fullstory also has a free analytics plan, but the add-on is listed for paid plans only. See Fullstory plans.

Frequently asked questions

Its pricing page now redirects to Fullstory’s acquisition announcement. Fullstory lists Guides and Surveys as an add-on to its paid analytics plans. Ask Fullstory about your current contract.

Is Cueston cheaper than Usetiful?▾
