Heap by Contentsquare vs. Appcues

Heap by Contentsquare is a Product Analytics platform that automatically captures every user interaction on your website or app — no manual event tagging, no developer dependency, no data gaps. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2013, Heap was acquired by Contentsquare in 2023 and is now fully integrated as Contentsquare's Product Analytics capability. With Heap by Contentsquare, product, data, and marketing teams can instantly answer questions like: - Where are users dropping off in a funnel? - Which features are actually being adopted — and which are being ignored?

Appcues is a customer engagement platform that turns your product into the best place to reach, encourage, and engage your customers. Marketing and product teams use Appcues to publish dynamic content, surveys and multi-step guides without ongoing engineering resources. Most in-app tools focus solely on onboarding new users. Appcues runs campaigns across the full customer lifecycle: helping you build awareness of new features, drive adoption, encourage advocacy, and inform what you build next, all through targeted in-app messaging.
