Your product team sets them up, not your developers: add one script tag, then mark up the interface yourself — no releases. Run it in our EU cloud or on your own servers, and pay by card without per-MAU pricing. An affordable alternative to Appcues, Pendo and Intercom.
React · Vue · any SPA · self-hosted on request
Three things product teams own — and that tours move directly.
New users reach first value instead of abandoning the product on an empty screen. A tour walks them to the key action.
Answer the recurring “where do I find…” with a tooltip right in the interface — where the question comes up, not in a help center nobody reads.
Announce a new feature with a modal on the feature’s own page. Not an email lost in spam, but a message where the feature is used.
A developer is needed once at most — in step one, and not even then.
01
One line on your site — by hand, through a tag manager, your site builder or an AI assistant. Works with React, Vue and plain HTML, and survives route changes in single-page apps.
<script src="https://tryclew.io/widget/PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY.js" async></script>
02
Open your own site, click the button you mean, write the tooltip text. No CSS selectors, no ticket for a developer, no release: the editor works on top of your page.
Build an export in one click: the report builder moved to this button.
This is a real Clew tooltip: the markup and styles come from the widget you put on your site.
03
Views, completions and dismissals are counted by an anonymous in-browser id — no IP addresses, no personal data.
Sample data for illustration
All of them are drawn by the same widget and follow the same display rules. Below is the widget itself, not a picture of it: these overlays are built from its own markup and styles.
A chain of tooltips with a pointer and progress dots: each step holds on to its element and moves with it. A single step with nothing after it is simply a hint on a button. Eight product tour examples →
Included in the free plan
For announcements and welcomes: centred over a dimmed backdrop, not tied to any element.
Pro and above
Sits in the corner of the screen and remembers progress between visits. Items are ticked by the user — try it right here.
Pro and above
An A/B test shows each tour’s contribution to activation — the variant with tooltips against a control group. You also see when a tooltip can no longer find its element: that usually happens after a front-end release, and teams find out weeks later.
One tour, split into cohorts. Activation and return are counted by a random in-browser ID: no IP addresses, no personal data — GDPR-friendly by design.
Clew notices on its own when a tooltip can no longer find its element — this usually breaks after a front-end release. The tour doesn’t crash: the broken step is flagged and skipped, and you see it right away, not weeks later.

Visitors and tooltip views are not capped. Cloud plans are subject to fair use: if an account’s load is many times higher than typical for its plan, we will reach out and suggest a better fit — we will not switch your tours off.
In the cloud — sign up and paste the tag. Self-hosted — spin up the server and paste the same tag.
