Where activation leaks

Training

Rollout means weeks of sessions

A dense accounting interface demands classroom training and thick procedure manuals that are out of date by the next release.

Errors

Confusion turns into bad data

A user misunderstands one step and posts a document incorrectly. In accounting, mistakes are expensive.

Releases

Updates break habits

After an update the process changed, but the instructions are still the old ones.

How Clew solves it

No developers

Product managers edit the hints

A developer adds one script tag, once. From then on the PM places tooltips and tours in a visual editor and changes copy without a release — the same day a question shows up in support.

Analytics

See where people get stuck

Step-by-step funnels and drop-offs, plus detection of hints that broke after a front-end release. Counted with a random browser ID — no IP addresses, no personal data.

Formats

Tours, tooltips, checklists, modals

Every format is built in one editor and follows the same display rules — by URL, segment, trigger and frequency.

Example scenario

Posting the first document

A tour walks through creating an invoice, tooltips explain the required fields, and a “Set up your company” checklist keeps track of progress.

This is an illustrative scenario, not a real customer. Real customer stories will appear here as they happen.

Frequently asked questions

Is Clew a good fit for ERP & accounting products?

Product onboarding for ERP and accounting software: replace weeks of training with guidance inside the interface. Your product team sets it up; it updates without a release.

Do I need a developer to set up onboarding?

Only once — to paste one script tag into your page. After that, product managers, marketers or support build tours, tooltips and checklists in a visual editor right on the live page, with no releases.

Does Clew work with React, Vue and single-page apps?

Yes. The widget is dependency-free vanilla JavaScript; it survives route changes in single-page apps and does not pull in a framework.

Can I self-host Clew?

Yes. Run it in Docker or as a single Node process with a built-in SQLite database; visitor data stays on your servers. The self-hosted edition is a one-time license with a year of updates and support.

How much does Clew cost?

The Free plan is free forever: 1 site and up to 3 published tours, no visitor caps. Pro ($14.99/month, 20 published tours, no visitor caps) and Business come with a 14-day trial, no credit card. There is also a one-time Lifetime license and a self-hosted box.
