Userflow vs Sunboard
Userflow is a no-code onboarding platform: your team builds flows, checklists, and surveys in its visual builder, its AI flags friction in those flows, and an in-app agent answers your users' questions. It's sold as two products, Adoption Studio from $400/mo and Adoption Agent from $80/mo, and keeping what you build accurate as your product changes is your team's job. Sunboard works differently. Your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, or opencode) builds onboarding into your product's code, Sunboard watches your funnel and flags what to fix, your agent ships the fix, and Sunboard measures whether it worked. If a non-technical team owns your onboarding and wants a visual builder, Userflow fits. If you build with a coding agent, that's what Sunboard is for.

Your team, or your coding agent
With Userflow, your team builds flows in a dashboard and keeps them updated as your product changes. With Sunboard, your coding agent does that work for you. Here is what that changes in practice.
Built into your product, not painted on top
Userflow flows sit on top of your app: a JS snippet loads them, and a selector engine finds the elements to attach to. Sunboard onboarding is part of the app itself: your agent wires it to your real components and product events, so there's nothing sitting on top to break when your UI changes.
No second system to maintain
Flows live in Userflow's dashboard, and when your product changes, someone has to go update them there. With Sunboard there's no second place: your agent builds onboarding into your app and updates it the same way it updates the rest of your code.
It's a loop, not an alert
Userflow's FlowAI flags friction, then your team edits flows by hand in the builder. Sunboard runs the full loop: it finds the leak with evidence, your agent ships the fix, you approve it, and the next check measures whether it worked. Week after week, your onboarding gets better.
