Pendo for mobile apps

Pendo is a product analytics and user engagement platform for web and mobile apps.

It helps product teams measure, understand, and improve their products by collecting qualitative and quantitative data from users. This data is visualized through intuitive charts and dashboards to simplify interpretations and decision-making.

The platform also offers a range of user engagement features—including onboarding, announcements, surveys, and product tours—to help teams drive adoption and loyalty.

Key features

  • Usage Analytics: Easily see which features your users are using—and which they're ignoring.

  • In-App Guides: Boost adoption with easily programmable in-app guides, tours, and tooltips.

  • User Feedback: Collect user feedback using various tools—from in-app surveys to feature request boards.

  • Feature Prioritization: Prioritize features and fixes using the spends and tags of users associated with them.

  • User Paths: Visualize user journeys to better understand their behavior.

Pricing

Pendo has a decent free-forever plan that supports 500 MAUs and a wide selection of basic analytics features.

Beyond that, there are three paid plans—Starter ($7,000/year), Growth (custom), and Portfolio (custom).

For businesses with only one mobile app, Starter offers access to a good number of Pendo features—notably lacking customer support and integrations. Growth is the next step up, offering near-full platform access (minus cross-platform user journeys).

Businesses with multiple mobile apps will need to jump straight to Portfolio.

Pros & Cons

  • Good feature-set overall

  • Decent free plan offers a lot of value

  • Feature prioritization is great for roadmap planning

Cons

  • Lack of customer support in the Starter plan
