People who look at Appcues for guiding visitors through a product often look at GetFoxChat too. This page says what GetFoxChat does, from the product itself. It makes no claims about Appcues: for Appcues's current features and prices, read Appcues's own website.
Each Appcues cell links the page on Appcues' own site that shows it (hover for the words found there) and the date we checked; "Not found" means we did not find it on their pages, not that it cannot exist. Prices are left out: see our plans and Appcues's pricing page.

Where GetFoxChat is ahead: it lights up the spot on the page from its own answers, where Appcues' pages show only a partial form (see the first row). Also, it records walkthrough videos, and it keeps spam out of the inbox; we did not find that on Appcues' pages (checked 20 Oct 2026). Where Appcues is stronger: for in-product onboarding inside logged-in apps, with checklists, surveys, email and push workflows, and mobile app SDKs.
GetFoxChat is a chat widget for your website. The GetFoxChat AI Operator (that you name as you like) answers visitors from your site's own pages, and from help articles you import from Zendesk, Intercom, Crisp, Help Scout, Freshdesk or a CSV file.
It shows, not only tells. When the answer is a button or a field on the page, the operator highlights that element. When the answer is a sequence of steps, it runs a guided tour: Step 1 of 4, a Next button, a Skip tour button, and the step moves on when the visitor clicks the highlighted element. A visitor who leaves the page mid-tour finds it waiting at the same step when they come back. You record tours once, with the bookmarklet or the Chrome extension.
It knows why visitors came. You list the goals visitors come to your site for, such as buying, booking a demo or getting support. GetFoxChat can draft them from your own menus and buttons. The operator reads the pages and clicks a visitor makes to recognise the goal, starts with that goal's first step when the visitor opens the chat, and counts how many reach the goal.
A person is one click away. The chat has a Talk to a person button, and you can take over a conversation and reply from the GetFoxChat inbox. After some conversations the chat asks the visitor how it did, at most once a month per visitor.
Every week we ask the GetFoxChat AI Operator real questions on 4 of our own sites, and check that it answered, gave the right link, and pointed at the right button or started the right tour. The latest complete run shown on our proof page, on 13 October 2026, passed 90 of 148: 16 of 27 on foxplug.com, 19 of 29 on getfoxchat.com, 29 of 38 on groupfinds.com and 26 of 54 on mentionfox.com. More than half of the misses were how-to questions that should have started a step-by-step tour; the page shows every answer, misses included.
GetFoxChat has three plans, Starter, Pro and Agency, each one flat monthly price. You sign up with no card; the first month of any plan is free, and the checkout asks for a card. There is no per-resolution AI fee. See pricing.
GetFoxChat is website chat only. It has no ticketing system, no phone, SMS or WhatsApp channel, no session recording or replay, no product analytics suite, and no surveys or NPS. Tours and highlights work only on sites where you have added the GetFoxChat script. If any of these is what you need from Appcues, check Appcues's site for it.
No. The install is one script tag added to your site's template. There are install guides for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow.
Yes. The first month of any plan is free. You sign up with no card; the checkout asks for a card when you pick a plan.
