Pendo gives your team tools to build guides. Dobi builds the guidance himself from your live product.
Ship a new screen and Dobi relearns it. No one has to find and fix broken steps.
Users ask in plain words. Dobi answers, then flies to the right button and lights it up.
If you want in-app guidance without building and maintaining tours by hand, Dobi is a strong Pendo alternative: one line of code, an AI guide that learns your product, answers users and relearns after every update, from £99 a month with AI included. If you need deep enterprise analytics, Pendo is the better fit.
Dobi's pricing is public: Starter from £99 a month for up to 1,000 users, £6,000 a year for one platform, £15,000 for up to five, AI included. Pendo's paid plans are quoted on request with an annual contract; public estimates commonly start around $15,000 a year.
