Peutly vs Tango. Here is when each one wins.
Tango and Peutly get compared a lot, and they should not be. Tango turns a process you perform into an annotated step-by-step guide: screenshots, numbered instructions, exportable to PDF. Peutly turns a product flow into a demo the viewer drives themselves. Both start with a browser capture, and that is where the similarity ends. This page is mostly about which of the two jobs you actually have.
Tango pricing, as Tango publishes it
Every figure below is copied from their own pricing page, last read on 6 November 2026. Where they publish no number, we say so instead of estimating one.
| Plan | Monthly | Seats and what is included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Up to 10 free users per workspace 5 shared workflows, browser capture, link and embed sharing. |
| Pro, 1–2 users | $30 per user | Per paid seat Unlimited workflows, branded workflows and exports, voice and video embeds, browser and desktop capture, AI-generated content. |
| Pro, 3+ users | $20 per user | Per paid seat Same feature set, cheaper per seat from the third user. 14-day version history, export to PDF, Markdown and HTML, viewership and completion insights. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Platform fee by number of users Adds automatic PII detection and redaction, multi-path workflows, translation into 15 languages, in-app guidance (Pins, Guide Me) and Automations, 365-day version history, audit logs, SSO (Google, Okta, Azure), SCIM, workspace analytics and an MCP connector. |
The seat maths. Tango Pro is $15 to $30 per user per month depending on team size and billing term. Ten people get the 3+ user rate of $15 to $20, so roughly $150 to $200 a month. Peutly Screenshot is $45 flat for a clickable screenshot tour, and Peutly Essentials, which captures the real DOM, is $175 flat, in the middle of that range. The numbers land in the same neighbourhood, which means the choice really is about the output format rather than the bill.
What each price buys. Peutly records screenshot tours on Screenshot, at $45 a month, and captures the real DOM from Essentials, at $175 a month, so the demo is your actual interface and stays editable afterwards. Both come out of the same extension and workspace. Tango does not offer DOM capture on any plan, Screenshot-based guides. No DOM capture on any plan.. The two prices buy different kinds of product.
The matrix
Tango is a process documentation tool. Rows marked missing for Peutly are things we genuinely do not do, not things we are about to ship.
| Feature | Peutly | Tango |
|---|---|---|
| What the viewer gets Tango produces numbered steps with annotated screenshots. Peutly replays the captured HTML so the viewer moves through it themselves. | A demo they click through | A guide they read |
| Captured output stays editable HTML Tango captures screenshots you can annotate and blur. Peutly captures the DOM, so text and images inside the product remain editable. | Essentials+ | |
| Export to PDF / Markdown / HTML Peutly exports GIF, WebM and MP4. It does not produce a written document. | Pro+ | |
| Desktop application capture Peutly captures in the browser only, through a Chrome extension. | Pro+ | |
| Pricing model | Per workspace, flat | Per user |
| Free plan Tango Free allows up to 10 users and 5 shared workflows. | Up to 10 users | |
| Lead capture forms in the flow | ||
| Per-step drop-off analytics | Growth+ | Viewership and completion insights on Pro |
| AI narration | 56 languages and accents | Voice and video embeds |
| Custom share domain | Growth+ | |
| SSO and SCIM Tango lists SSO with Google, Okta and Azure, plus SCIM, on Enterprise. | Enterprise | |
| Automatic PII redaction Tango Enterprise detects PII automatically while capturing. In Peutly you blur or remove elements by hand, or ask the AI assistant to anonymize personal data in the demo text and accept or decline its edits. Blur and hide are visual only. | Via AI assistant | Enterprise |
Where Peutly wins
The viewer does something instead of reading something
A Tango guide is read. A Peutly demo is driven: the viewer clicks the real buttons in the captured interface and moves at their own pace. For a prospect deciding whether your product fits, doing beats reading, and it is the difference between a support artefact and a sales one.
Lead capture at the step where interest peaks
Peutly puts a form at any step in the demo and records which step the viewer reached before filling it in. A documentation tool has no reason to do that, and Tango does not. If demos are meant to produce pipeline, this is the mechanism.
Demos that survive a UI change
Both tools break when your product changes, but they break differently. Tango captures screenshots, so a changed label means a new capture. Peutly captures the DOM, so you edit the text in place, or run find and replace across the whole replay.
Flat pricing that includes the whole company
Tango is per user. Peutly is per workspace, so the cost of letting one more person publish a demo is nothing.
Where Tango wins
It is the better tool for documentation, by a distance
If what you need is an SOP your ops team can follow, an onboarding runbook, or a guide someone will print, Tango produces exactly that and Peutly produces nothing like it. Export to PDF, Markdown and HTML is on Pro. We have no written-document output at all.
Desktop capture
Tango Pro captures desktop applications as well as the browser. Peutly is browser-only, through a Chrome extension. If the process you are documenting happens in a native app, we cannot record it.
Much cheaper per person, and a usable free tier
Tango Free supports up to ten users. Tango Pro is $15 to $30 per user per month, so for one person it costs less than even Peutly Screenshot at $45, and for a small team against Essentials it is a fraction. For a small team documenting internal processes, that is a job we do not do anyway.
Enterprise governance
Automatic PII detection and redaction, 365-day version history, audit logs, SSO with Okta and Azure, and SCIM are all on Tango Enterprise. Peutly has no SSO beyond Google and Microsoft login, no SCIM, and no customer-facing audit log, and its PII handling is manual or through the AI assistant.
Choose Tango if the output is a guide someone reads, especially an internal one, or if you need to capture a desktop app. Choose Peutly if the output is a demo a prospect clicks through and leaves their email in. Plenty of teams run both, and that is a reasonable answer too.
Peutly and Tango, the short answers
If we got a fact about their product wrong, email founders@peutly.com and we will correct it.
Only at the capture step. Both record what you do in a browser. Tango turns that into a written guide with annotated screenshots; Peutly turns it into a screenshot tour or, from Essentials, an interactive replay of the real DOM. They serve different jobs, and a lot of teams use one for internal documentation and the other for buyer-facing demos.
No. Peutly exports GIF, WebM and MP4, and publishes a share link or an embed. There is no PDF, Markdown or HTML document output. If that is the artefact you need, Tango does it and we do not.
Tango guides are read rather than driven: the viewer moves through screenshots and instructions. Tango Guide Me overlays the steps on the live app for people in your workspace, which is training on the real tool, not a demo for a prospect. Multi-path workflows appear on Tango Enterprise. Peutly replays the captured DOM, so the viewer interacts with the interface itself.
No. Peutly captures in Chrome through an extension. Tango Pro adds desktop capture. If your workflow lives in a native application, that is a hard blocker for us.
