Best for
ScreenSteps: Contact centers and frontline ops with formal knowledge programs
Not for
Small teams. Platform pricing and setup weight make sense at 50+ users, not 5.
Best for
Tango: Teams that want guides to live inside the software, not beside it
Not for
Pure documentation use. The product's center of gravity has shifted toward in-app guidance and adoption analytics.
