TL;DR comparison summary
Jimo is a product adoption platform combining tours, changelogs, surveys, and feature request boards. While it covers a broad range of features, this breadth can come at the expense of depth. Customization is limited to their predefined templates, and teams that need control over UI and behavior often find themselves working around the tool rather than with it.
Flows is a modern alternative to Jimo built for teams who want to own their user experience. With Flows, you build workflows using your own components and design system, giving you full flexibility over how adoption experiences look and behave. Flows focuses on doing product adoption exceptionally well.

Other differences
Depth vs breadth
Jimo covers tours, changelogs, surveys, and feature requests in one tool. This breadth means each feature area may be less refined than a dedicated solution.
Flows focuses on product adoption. This focus means deeper functionality, better developer experience, and a product that does one thing exceptionally well rather than many things adequately.
Own the user experience
Jimo uses predefined UI elements that may not match your product's design system. Customization is limited to their builder.
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
Jimo focuses on providing a no-code solution. Developer workflows and programmatic control are secondary.
Developers aren't an afterthought in Flows, they are first-class users. We focus on the details that make building with Flows a joy: versioning, environments, APIs, and great documentation, to name a few.
