Pendo TotalCtrl Product Adoption

If you use Pendo, you'll love TotalCtrl.

See how your product gets used — then guide people through it.

Pendo pairs product analytics with in-app guides on a hefty contract. TotalCtrl's Product Adoption is the same pairing from one SDK: auto-captured page views and clicks, funnels that count people, user paths and retention — then tours, tooltips and checklists you can aim at whoever has not adopted a feature. Pendo's analytics is deeper and older; ours is in the suite you already pay for, and self-hosted.

Start free — all apps included

Product Adoption, included in every plan

No-Code Builder
Build multi-step tours, tooltips, hotspots, banners, and checklists in a visual editor with a live preview — point at any element with a CSS selector.
Lightweight Embeddable SDK
Drop one script tag on your site. The dependency-free SDK identifies users, fetches your published flows, and renders them with a CSP-safe, self-hosted renderer.
Smart Targeting & Triggers
Show flows by URL and audience traits, and trigger on page load, after a delay, when an element appears, or on a product event you track.
Frequency Control
Show once, until completed, every session, or every N days — capped per visitor so people never see the same thing twice.
Auto-Capture, No Tagging
Add one attribute to the snippet and every page view and click on a link or button is recorded with a stable signature — so you can name a feature next month and still see its history. Text is captured only from buttons and links; values typed into form fields never are.
Funnels That Count People
Build a funnel from any sequence of pages or events and see where people drop out. Steps must happen in order and within a window you set, and every figure counts distinct people — not sessions, so one person who tries three times is one person.
Paths and Retention
See where visitors enter, where they go next, and where they leave, with URLs carrying ids folded into one page. Weekly cohorts show who came back.
Target Guides at Behaviour
Show a checklist to the people who have not used a feature in 30 days — the loop the analytics exists for. Audience rules read the event stream, not just the traits your page sends.
Completion Analytics
See impressions, completion rates, and a step-by-step funnel so you know exactly where your guides lose people.
Built to Connect
Webhooks fire when a flow is published or completed, so you can trigger CRM tasks, CSM signals, and Orchestration workflows off in-product engagement.
