“Whatfix reimagines our training. The DAP is easy to use – even for non-technical users. It supports in-app guidance across any interface and platform. And it’s so easy to update materials, we can keep pace with the system changes. Looking back, Whatfix was one of the best decisions we have made.”

Pricing for each product and plan is composed of a flat fee, plus user license fees. The flat fee depends on the product and plan you need. User license fees are defined based on the type of user who will access the application where Whatfix will be deployed, as further defined below:
For employee-facing applications used by your employees for internal business functions a user license is equal to the total number of users with access to such application.
For customer-facing applications used by your customers or external-facing users (partners or any other third-party) a user license is equal to the monthly active users (MAUs) with access to such applications.
