Clew
Amsterdam, Netherlands
What it is
Clew adds product tours, tooltips, modals, and onboarding checklists inside a product. A team can install its script tag and create or publish overlays in a visual editor without another site release. The widget supports React, Vue, plain HTML, and single-page apps, following client-side route changes. Setup guides cover Google Tag Manager, AI coding assistants, WordPress, Webflow, and Shopify. Clew counts views, completions, and dismissals using an anonymous in-browser ID; it says those counts do not use IP addresses or personal data. If a tooltip loses its target element, Clew flags and skips the step rather than stopping the tour. Hosting options include EU cloud and self-hosting, which Clew says keeps data within the customer's perimeter. The Free plan allows one site, one team seat, and up to three published tours. Pro costs $14.99 per month and includes one A/B test at a time. Pro and Business offer a 14-day trial without a credit card. Cloud plans are subject to fair use despite uncapped visitor and tooltip views.
