FAQ

Tango focuses on capturing how work gets done and turning it into reusable step-by-step documentation, interactive walkthroughs, branching workflows, and process adoption insights.

Tango is built for teams that need to document processes, onboard employees, and help people complete tasks across their everyday tools. It automatically creates step-by-step guides that teams can share, embed, export, or follow through interactive in-app walkthroughs. Pendo is primarily focused on understanding software usage and improving adoption through analytics and in-app experiences.

Pendo offers tools for creating interactive in-app guides, but its standard guide creation process doesn't automatically document a workflow as someone performs it.
