Embed in 5 minutes, reduce churn today
Turn first-time users intopaying customers
Your users are dropping off before they see your product's value. Every confused new user is lost revenue. Manual onboarding support is eating your time, but enterprise tools cost more than your MRR.
Why Sunboard?
Sunboard gives you the same onboarding power as the $300/month enterprise tools, packaged for small teams who need results without complexity. One script tag, instant product tours, measurable churn reduction
Stop answering the same onboarding questions over and over
Create self-serve product tours that guide users to their 'aha!' moments. Your customers get instant help, you get your time back
Ship onboarding improvements without bothering your dev team
One script tag gives you full control over user guidance. Make changes instantly, no code deployments required
Give every new user the VIP onboarding experience
Automated checklists and contextual help that feels personal, works 24/7, and improves with each user interaction
Built to work with your product
Easy integration, custom styling, and simple analytics so you can focus on building your product instead of fighting with tools
Knowledge Hub
Stop losing customers because they can't find answers. Your documentation is probably buried somewhere users will never look. With Sunboard, embed your help articles, guides, and FAQs directly in your app where users are stuck. One central hub for all your content, zero friction for your users.
Interactive Product Tours
You know that sinking feeling when you see users sign up and never come back? They couldn't figure out your product. Interactive tours fix this by walking users through your key features step-by-step, right when they need it. No more guessing what to do next.
Smart Onboarding Checklists
Your power users don't need the same onboarding as your casual users. Create multiple onboarding flows, test what works, and automatically show the right experience based on user type or behavior. Because one-size-fits-all doesn't fit anyone well.
Brand-Matched Styling
Nothing screams 'cheap third-party tool' like a widget that clashes with your design. Customize colors, fonts, and styling so your onboarding feels native to your product. Your users won't even know it's Sunboard.
Drop-in Integration
Works with React, Vue, vanilla JavaScript, or whatever framework you're using. No major code changes, no complex setup, no developer tears. Embed one script and you're ready to start improving your onboarding.
Essential Analytics
See completion rates, find where users drop off, and identify your best-performing flows. Simple, actionable metrics that help you improve over time. No overwhelming dashboards, just the data you need to make better decisions.
Simple, transparent pricing.

The team (it's just me...)
Over the years I've worked on many software projects, most notably Spotent. But I kept running into the same problem: users were dropping off before they understood the value.
Growth really comes down to managing churn. And the best way to manage churn? Better onboarding. If your users don't understand how your product helps them, they're going to leave. It's that simple.
I built Sunboard because I was tired of choosing between $300/month enterprise tools and building onboarding infrastructure from scratch. Every indie hacker deserves the same onboarding power as Fortune 500 companies - without the enterprise price tag.
My goal is simple: give you the tools to reduce churn, increase retention, and finally see the growth you've been working toward.
