Userpilot is a cloud-based product experience and end-user engagement platform.

Who is Userpilot for?

It is typically used by freelancers and SMEs (small to mid-size enterprises) for user onboarding and to increase the customer adoption rate for digital platforms. It is also designed to help product and customer success teams improve the overall product experience by triggering the right in-app experience to the right persona at the right stage of their user journey.

How does it work?

Designed to help increase user engagement by onboarding then supporting end-users as they use a given platform, Userpilot can be used to manage the flow of the user interface; introduce new or advanced features and in-app marketing messages at the right time in the user journey; grow in-app or on-platform revenue, and provide self-service that matches the end user’s level of experience. 

The product experience layer is created by the Userpilot script that lies on top of a digital platform or product.

There is no coding required in Userpilot, making it easy to create flows and user interfaces for those without dev experience. Flow builder tools allow for customization of images, buttons, colors, backgrounds, product themes, and company branding. Userpilot enables testing of the in-app experience prior to launch, then can track user engagement through built-in analytics. Users can also create net promoter score (NPS) surveys to measure loyalty of customers to their company or brand.
