Skate vs Whatfix
Whatfix adds in-app guidance and analytics across your own and third-party apps.
| Feature | Skate | Whatfix |
|---|---|---|
| Does the task in your app | Yes. Clicks, fills and navigates your UI as the signed-in user. | No. In its own words, it is “designed to assist humans, not act independently.” |
| Answers questions | Yes, from what is on the page. | Partly. |
| Guides with tours | No tours. It does the task instead. | Yes. |

| Install | One script tag. | One line of JavaScript, or an extension for apps you do not own. |
