About
About Guiders.js
Guiders.js is a JavaScript framework for building guided tours — the UX pattern that walks a first-time visitor through your web app with a personal touch.
It works across all browsers and with any web backend.
Commercial license
Here's how it works.
We use a standard license designed to survive enterprise procurement and an order form built by Heather Meeker, an IP attorney well-known in the open source community.
- Production rights. Use Guiders.js in commercial products, internal tools, and customer-facing services.
- Standardized license. Built on the lawyer-vetted Bonterms standard so legal teams recognize it and procurement should be quick.
- Enterprise-friendly. Receipts, invoices, and a license certificate to pass procurement painlessly.
- Automatic renewal. Pay with a credit card to get automatic renewal, so you won't have to think about it unless you cancel.
Purchase questions
Let's answer your questions.
Do I need a license?
Yes, for nearly all use cases (like using Guiders.js for, by, or on behalf of a company, government agency, or any organization). Non-commercial hobbyist projects can get a free license.

What if our legal team has feedback?
The license is built on Bonterms, a lawyer-vetted standard that most enterprise legal teams have already seen and approved. Redlines are rarely needed.
What happens at renewal?
Unless cancelled first, annual licenses auto-renew. If you paid manually (e.g. a wire transfer), we will contact you before the renewal date to ensure your finance team pays on time. Please make sure your contact info is correct.
Can we evaluate before buying?
Yes, there is a free 30-day evaluation license, no credit card required. Try it out in dev before committing.
What if I have a question that's not answered here?
If you have any other questions, please try our website's FAQ page or contact us through the contact page.
Why this matters
You're supporting software.
The vast majority of the purchase price goes to Guiders.js to actually ship new features, fixes, review PRs, and answer security reports so you'll have better dependencies.
- Bug fixes & new features you'll love to see.
- Security response that's someone takes seriously.
- Long-term maintenance instead of abandonment.
