Which one is for you
Pick Iorad if
- Fits if you write support or training guides for software and want click-through tutorials
- Works for teams happy to publish tutorials publicly on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you work alone, as paid plans are priced per creator from $200 a month
- Skip it if your tutorials must be private, since that needs a paid plan
- Watch out: Team is $500 a month for 1 seat plus $50 for each extra, and Enterprise starts at 20 creators
- Watch out: Live Guidance, AI agents and the MCP connector are beta features
Pick Tango if
- Fits if you keep explaining the same task in a web app and want it written up
- Works for new starters who need walking through software on the screen itself
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need to capture on a phone or tablet, or use Firefox or Safari, as Tango doesn't
- Tight if you're staying free, because the team library stops at 5 workflows with no PDF, HTML or Markdown export
- Pricey if only one or two of you need Pro, at $22 a person a month yearly, and every member of a Pro workspace needs a seat
- Watch out: the desktop app is paid, and Guide Me doesn't work on workflows captured with it
- Not for you if you need Pins, automations, SSO or translation without an Enterprise platform fee; integrations are Salesforce and HubSpot only
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAIoradFair | 2.4GPATangoFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DIndividual is $200 a month for 1 creator, which is more than ten times the category's $18 middle and close to its dearest tenth at $249. Team is $500 for 1 seat. | CPro is $15 a person a month billed annually once there are 3 or more of you, which is this category's middle figure exactly. One or two of you pay $22 each. Every member of a Pro workspace needs a paid seat, and Pins, automations, SSO and translation are Enterprise only. |
| Free plan and trial | BUnlimited capture, unlimited public tutorials and unlimited learners, with no time limit. One person could live on it if public tutorials are fine. | CFree forever for up to 10 users, with browser capture and sharing by link or embed. The cap is the thing: 5 workflows in the team library, and no PDF, HTML or Markdown export. Five guides go fast. |
| Features | CCapture, learning modes, audio and video, exports, libraries and integrations. Gaps in the listing: private tutorials, branding and analytics need a paid plan, and Live Guidance and AI agents are beta. | CClick through a process and you get a guide with a screenshot, highlight and description per step, and Guide Me replays it as a walkthrough on the real screen. It does that fully, and it's a narrower job than a wiki: no capture on phones or tablets, and Guide Me doesn't work on desktop-app captures. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You install the extension or desktop app and capture each workflow, then edit the steps yourself. | BNo app rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: add the Chrome or Edge extension, click through the task, and the guide builds itself with a screenshot for every step. No writing-up afterwards. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, a browser extension, Mac and Windows, with Zendesk, Slack, ServiceNow, Freshdesk, Confluence and HubSpot connections. No phone apps. | BA web app, a Chrome and Edge extension and Mac and Windows apps on paid plans. The connections are thin, though: Salesforce and HubSpot and no more. No mobile app, and no extension for Firefox or Safari. |
| Best for | step-by-step tutorials captured from software | turning your clicks into how-to guides |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
