What is the difference between Tango's free plan and its paid enterprise version?
Tango's free plan lets you create a limited number of guides with basic features — browser capture, auto-screenshots, and step descriptions. The paid enterprise version adds unlimited guides, desktop app capture, team management, custom branding, advanced integrations (Confluence, Zendesk), and SSO. The biggest limitation of the free plan is the guide cap and restricted export options.

When does the free plan stop being enough?
| Signal | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Hitting the guide cap | You are documenting frequently enough to justify a paid tool |
| Need desktop capture | Your workflows involve native apps, not just browser |
| Team sharing | Multiple people need to create and manage guides |
| Custom branding | Client-facing or professional documentation requirements |
| Confluence/Zendesk | Your team relies on integrations the free plan lacks |
Should you consider alternatives?
If you are outgrowing Tango's free plan, compare the paid pricing against Glyde and Scribe before upgrading. Glyde offers a competitive free tier without watermarks and strong Notion/Confluence export at a lower price point than Tango's enterprise plan.
