Questions,
answered.
Can I use SaaSFunnels and Appcues together?
Yes. Keep Appcues for tours, checklists and announcements, and use SaaSFunnels for the moments that change revenue: trial conversion, upgrades, failed payments and cancellations. Set Funnel caps so customers don’t see both at once.
Does Appcues connect to Stripe?
One way, through Zapier: a Stripe event, like a failed payment, can trigger an Appcues message. It can’t change a subscription, so discounts, pauses and upgrades need your own code. SaaSFunnels applies them in Stripe and confirms the revenue there.
Does SaaSFunnels do product tours?
No. Funnels are short steps in a modal, side drawer, full screen or inline in your page, built for moments like onboarding, upgrades and cancellation. If you need tooltips and walkthroughs on every screen, a tour tool does that better.
How is pricing different?
Appcues doesn’t publish prices. Its plans are based on monthly active users, installs and published experiences, and the trial starts after a call. SaaSFunnels lists every price: Builder is $0 plus 3% of Funnel revenue, and paid plans start at $97 a month.
Both have control groups. What’s the difference?
What they count. Appcues compares goal conversion within 7 days of seeing a Flow. SaaSFunnels compares revenue confirmed by Stripe, like upgrades, annual switches and saved plans, between customers who saw a Funnel and customers who didn’t.
