Comparison based on publicly available documentation (June 2025)

How do checklist steps auto-complete?

Candu listens for any product event or user/account property—e.g., integegration.connected. When that event fires, the matching step checks itself off automatically, no extra clicks or API calls.

Can I target different users or accounts?

Yes. Segment by role, plan tier, geography, health score, or custom traits and events, so each audience sees the checklist that fits them best. Learn more about segmentation.

Can I hide or show steps conditionally?

Absolutely. Add conditional logic inside a single checklist—perfect for admin-only tasks or account-level integrations—so irrelevant steps stay out of sight.

Will Candu slow my app?

The embed is about 45 KB gzipped, served via CDN, and lazy-loads after your core bundle

Does Candu work with single-page apps?

Yes. Candu auto-detects route changes in React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and custom SPA routers, and re-evaluates visibility rules on every view change.

How long does installation take?

Add one script tag with your userID, and you’re live. Most teams launch their first checklist in under 15 minutes using a starter template. JavaScript API

Can I A/B test or version a checklist?

Yes. Duplicate a checklist, tweak copy or order, and assign each variant a traffic split. Candu tracks conversion and completion rates side-by-side in Analytics.
