Pick the guide tool for how the next person will read it.
All four can turn clicks into steps. The split is what happens after you hit stop: a file on your laptop, a large documentation platform, an in-app walkthrough, or a hosted link for a small team.

Asterly vs Mimik
Love the capture. The gap is sharing without an install. Mimik stays free and local.
Asterly vs Scribe
Scribe is the broader platform. Asterly is the smaller, cheaper wedge for a share link.
Asterly vs Tango
Tango’s Guide Me walks someone through the live app. Asterly’s first version is the guide itself.
Asterly pricing
Free for three public guides. Pro from $12 or ₹999. Still a hypothesis, still a waitlist.
