Looking for Pendo Free? Meet Novus.

Novus is Pendo's new AI-native free product. Connect your code repository and it instruments your product automatically, watches it continuously, and surfaces what's broken before anyone goes looking.

Is Novus for you?

Novus is built for teams shipping with AI — connected repos, daily releases, and workflows that live in Slack, Linear, and GitHub. If that sounds like how you build, Novus will feel like it was made for you.

What's included in Novus

Auto-instrumentation

  • Connect your repo. Novus reads your code, identifies user-facing features, and tags them for you. Most teams are running in 30 minutes.

Continuous monitoring

  • Novus runs in the background and surfaces drop-offs, errors, dead clicks, and broken flows — before anyone files a ticket.

Proactive recommendations

  • Get insights and fixes delivered in Slack, not buried in a dashboard. Novus opens PRs to keep instrumentation current as you ship.

Always up to date

  • As your product changes, Novus updates instrumentation automatically. No more stale events or tagging debt building up over time.

How can Novus help your team?

Catch issues before users do

Novus watches your product continuously and surfaces broken flows, errors, and drop-offs before they show up in support tickets.

Skip the tagging project

Connect your repo and Novus instruments your product automatically — no engineering loops, no spec docs, no manual event tracking.

Understand what’s actually shipping

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.

Get fixes, not just data

Novus delivers proactive recommendations in Slack and can open PRs to keep your instrumentation current as you ship.

Move at AI-native speed

Built for teams shipping daily with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. Novus keeps up with your release cadence instead of slowing it down.

Plug into where you already work

Novus integrates with GitHub, Slack, and Linear so insights show up in the tools your team is already using — not another dashboard to remember.

Which one is right for you?

Frequently asked questions

+

Nothing — Pendo Free is still here for current users. We’ve introduced Novus as a new, AI-native free product. If you’re new to Pendo and looking for a free starting point, Novus is the better fit for most teams building software today. If you’re already on Pendo Free, your account works exactly the same as it always has.

+

No. Existing Pendo Free customers can continue using it as-is. If you’re new to Pendo and want to explore the full platform, talk to our sales team.

+

No. Novus is a different product built for a different way of working. It’s AI-native, codebase-connected, and designed for teams shipping daily. It will not have feature parity with Pendo — that’s by design, not a roadmap gap.

+

Pendo is the full product analytics platform — dashboards, in-app guides, roadmaps, NPS, surveys, enterprise governance. Novus connects to your repo, instruments your product automatically, and surfaces what’s broken in Slack. Different products, different audiences.

+

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.
