No credit card required. No commitment. Quick setup.
TL;DR comparison summary
Frigade is a developer-first product adoption library that provides React components for building onboarding experiences like tours, checklists, and announcements. It pairs a component library with a dashboard for non-developers to manage content. While the developer experience is good within React, it is tightly coupled to the React ecosystem and offers less depth for non-React teams and product managers who need more flexibility.
Flows is a modern alternative to Frigade built for teams across all tech stacks. With Flows, you build workflows using your own components and design system, with full support for React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript. Flows combines a developer-first SDK with a powerful CMS-like dashboard so product managers, designers, and developers can all collaborate without bottlenecks.

Other differences
Any framework, not just React
Frigade is built as a React component library. Teams using Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript cannot use it without significant workarounds, if at all.
Flows works across React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript. Whichever framework your team uses, Flows integrates cleanly and lets you build with your own components.
Your components, not theirs
Frigade provides a set of headless components that you style and configure through their API. You are working within their component model, which may not map perfectly to your design system.
Flows meets you where you are. You can use your own UI components and technologies, giving you the full flexibility of code to build relevant, contextual workflows that fit your product, meet your quality bar, and don't get in the way.
Built for developers and PMs
Frigade is developer-centric. Non-technical teammates can edit content in the dashboard, but complex workflow changes still require code. This can create bottlenecks for product and marketing teams.
Flows is built for both developers and non-developers. Developers own the components and integration; product managers and designers control the workflow logic and content, with no engineering ticket required for every update.
Pricing
Frigade does not publish pricing publicly. You need to contact their team to understand what you'll pay as your usage grows.
Flows offers transparent usage-based pricing with no hidden fees. You can start for free with 250 monthly tracked users and upgrade only when you need to. No sales calls, no hidden fees, just a clear pricing model that scales with your usage.
