Pendo Free is a free version of the Pendo platform including some of our most popular features. Start collecting insights into user behavior, deliver in-app messaging, and share reports and dashboards at no cost. Pendo Free is available for web and mobile applications.
After installing the Pendo snippet, Pendo delivers your guides and collects events for all of your user behavior starting at the time of install. This allows you to tag features and pages at any time in the future and get usage data back to the time of install, even if you upgrade to a paid Pendo subscription later.
