Pendo is an analytics tool
trying to do feedback.
Pendo averages $47,000/year and bundles analytics features most teams don't need for feedback management. Their feedback module is poorly supported, they have no built-in changelog, and updates are delayed by an hour. You're paying for complexity when you just need great feedback tools.
Average $47,000/year
Enterprise pricing for analytics bundled with weak feedback features.
Hidden costs everywhere
Feedback module costs extra. Session replay costs extra. More integrations cost extra.
No built-in changelog
Missing this essential feature. Must use guides or external tools instead.
1-hour data delay
Analytics updates lag behind. Not real-time like modern tools should be.

About 30 seconds. Create your workspace and start collecting feedback immediately. Pendo requires complex onboarding and technical account managers. We believe feedback tools should be simple to set up and use.
