Tired of analytics tools that require a tagging project before they're useful
Novus watches your product continuously and surfaces broken flows, errors, and drop-offs before they show up in support tickets.
Connect your repo and Novus instruments your product automatically — no engineering loops, no spec docs, no manual event tracking.
Novus reads your code, your PRs, and your Linear tickets to give you a continuously up-to-date picture of what changed and how users are reacting.
Novus delivers proactive recommendations in Slack and can open PRs to keep your instrumentation current as you ship.
Built for teams shipping daily with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. Novus keeps up with your release cadence instead of slowing it down.
Novus integrates with GitHub, Slack, and Linear so insights show up in the tools your team is already using — not another dashboard to remember.
Novus and Pendo are different products for different ways of working. Most teams know which one fits within the first paragraph.
Pendo
The full product analytics platform — dashboards, in-app guides, roadmaps, NPS, surveys. For teams who need deep configurability, governance, and enterprise scale.

You connect your GitHub repo, and Novus reads your codebase to instrument your product automatically. Most teams are running in about 30 minutes. No snippet, no tagging, no engineering loops.
Yes. There’s a free tier today with no credit card required. Paid tiers will come post-GA in H2.
If codebase access isn’t right for your situation, talk to sales about a guided trial of full Pendo.
You can install both, but they don’t share data — they’re separate products serving different workflows. If you’re trying to decide which one fits your team, talk to sales.
