Product experience analytics with path/funnel analysis and in-app engagement
Gainsight PX ranks #9 of 11 in Product analytics, with an Alt Score of 74. It is sold by subscription and available on Web, iOS and Android. 12 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Gainsight PX is a digital product experience platform combining product analytics (event tracking, funnels, retention, segmentation) with in-app guides, NPS/CES surveys, and account-level health scoring. It's purpose-built for B2B SaaS teams and is widely described as Pendo's closest enterprise competitor.
Gainsight PX is aimed at product, growth, and customer-success teams at SaaS companies who need to understand and influence how users adopt their web, iOS, and Android applications.
The platform combines product analytics (funnels, retention, path analysis, segments/cohorts) with in-app engagement tools (onboarding guides, announcements, an in-app help hub) and closed-loop feedback surveys such as NPS and CES, plus a Product Mapper for tagging application features.
Teams install a Gainsight PX tracking tag (JavaScript for web, native SDKs for iOS/Android/React Native/Flutter, or a .NET SDK for desktop apps) that sends user, account, and event data to Gainsight PX; a Suggestion Mode in Product Mapper automatically scans the application to propose features and modules for tagging, and the resulting usage data can be periodically exported to an AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage bucket for downstream analysis.
