No credit card required. No commitment. Quick setup.
TL;DR comparison summary
vuejs-tour is a lightweight open-source Vue.js library for creating guided product tours as Vue components. It's simple to get started, but it's Vue-only, has a small community, and everything beyond basic tours needs to be built and maintained in-house: state management, logic, targeting, analytics, and maintenance.
Flows is a modern product adoption platform that replaces hard-coded tours with workflows. You build UI using your own components, while Flows handles orchestration, state, logic, and delivery across your product. Flows supports Vue.js as well as React, Angular, and plain JavaScript.

Other differences
Hard-coded tours vs workflows
vuejs-tour tours are defined directly in Vue components and tightly coupled to the DOM structure.
Flows workflows are decoupled from UI structure and evolve without rewriting tour code.
Build vs buy
With vuejs-tour, you're responsible for building and maintaining everything around the tour: logic, targeting, state, analytics, and ongoing updates as your product evolves.
Flows removes the need to build onboarding infrastructure. You focus on UI and content, while Flows handles orchestration, delivery, and state.
Beyond Vue.js
vuejs-tour only works with Vue.js. If your application uses multiple frameworks or you migrate away from Vue, your tours need to be rebuilt.
Flows is framework-agnostic. It supports Vue.js, React, Angular, Svelte, and plain JavaScript, so your adoption workflows survive tech stack changes.
Part of your product
vuejs-tour overlays tooltips on top of your UI, which can feel bolted on as your product evolves.
Flows workflows live inside your product and can be built using your own components and design system.
Team collaboration
vuejs-tour is developer-only. Product and design changes require engineering effort.
Flows enables collaboration between developers, designers, and product managers.
Library vs platform
vuejs-tour is a UI helper library, not a system for managing product adoption.
Flows is a platform for building, running, and iterating on adoption workflows over time.
