Overview

userTourKit is a React library for in-app onboarding: product tours, hints and beacons, checklists, announcements and surveys. The headless core provides hooks for positioning, focus management, keyboard navigation and state, with pre-styled React components also available; each capability ships as a separate tree-shakeable npm package. Three packages are MIT; eight need the Pro licence.

Best for: React teams building in-app onboarding in their own components instead of a hosted SaaS tool.
Pricing: Free MIT core packages, with the eight-package Pro suite sold as a one-time $99 licence covering up to five production domains.
Runs on: Self-hosted
