“We wanted our in-app experiences to look like they were part of our app. So Chameleon's CSS customizations design system import was really crucial.”
Elyssa Stewart, Director of Product Management
“It's nice to be able to embed things contextually in different parts of the product. We've been experimenting more with that and seeing a lot of good results and good feedback from that.”
Rachel Sheldon, Product Marketing Manager
“We can give hyper-segmented offers to our consumers. Rather than sending users follow-up emails, which we know they will ignore, we can capture them when they're still in our applications, still active, and simply drive them to our partner sites.”
Jack Trepp, Director of Data Activation

"Really love Chameleon's integrations, launchers, and Support team!"
I love the integrations in Chameleon. It's great being able to really customize a user segment in Heap, and then pull the segment into Chameleon to use as a targeted segment for a tour. It really expands the power of Chameleon and hones my ability to target just the right user.

Chameleon vs Userpilot FAQs

Chameleon is solely focused on best-in-class, nonintrusive in-app experiences. Chameleon's embedded and next-gen onboarding elements can be deeply customized to blend seamlessly with a product’s UI.

Userpilot takes a broader approach that includes product analytics, email, and mobile, alongside in-app messaging.
When activation rates, feature adoption, and retention directly impact revenue, you need a platform built specifically for that job, not one splitting focus across analytics, email, and mobile.

Chameleon's specialization shows up in outcomes: sophisticated, on-brand experiences that users actually engage with. Complete design control means your onboarding feels native to your product, not like a third-party overlay. AI throughout the platform means smarter timing, automated optimization, and governance that prevents mistakes before they impact users. And more integrations mean you can create seamless workflows that keep users engaged without breaking their flow.

Teams choose Chameleon when adoption metrics matter enough to invest in best-in-class tools.
Chameleon offers 34 native integrations vs. Userpilot's 10.

But it's not just about quantity. Our integrations with analytics platforms like Amplitude, Mixpanel, and Heap are bidirectional: build segments in your analytics tool and use them for targeting in Chameleon, then analyze everything in one unified view. Userpilot's analytics integrations only send data one way. And our no-code integrations let you trigger actions across tools from the click of a button in-app.

Why the difference? Userpilot built their own analytics, email, and mobile tools. We invested in connecting deeply with best-in-class platforms you already use. That strategic choice is reflected in the quality and breadth of our integrations, enabling you to build a best-in-class stack with each tool doing what it does best.
If you've been burned by a digital adoption platform before, you're right to be skeptical.

Here's how you can be sure that Chameleon is different:
- Look at what we prioritize. We don't dilute our focus with analytics, email, or mobile. Every feature we build is designed to make web-based product adoption more sophisticated and less intrusive. That singular focus compounds over time.
- Check what we're building. Look at our recent releases. We're investing in features that push the category forward, not just keep up with it.
- Start a trial. Don't take our word for it. Instead, build a real experience with both tools and compare what's possible. You'll see the difference in customization depth, integration capabilities, and AI functionality.
Switching is straightforward, though it does require rebuilding your experiences in Chameleon (there's no direct import from Userpilot).

The good news: our customer success team helps you through implementation, and many teams find they can rebuild faster than expected because Chameleon's interface is intuitive and our templates give you a head start.

Most companies are up and running within 2-4 weeks, depending on how many experiences they're migrating. And the payoff (deeper customization, better integrations, and AI-powered optimization) makes the transition effort worthwhile.
Only for installation, which takes minutes. You'll need a developer to add Chameleon's code snippet to your product once.

After that, your team owns it. Create experiences, launch A/B tests, update content, configure integrations, and build entire onboarding flows, all without code or developer involvement.
