Why founders pick Nudje

Live in minutes, not a six-month rollout
Gainsight is an implementation project. Nudje configures itself from one sentence about your product and starts catching signals the same day.
$89, not an enterprise contract
Gainsight is priced for large orgs with annual commitments. Nudje is $0 to start and $89/mo Pro, no commit, retention a founder can actually afford.
Switching from Gainsight?

Frequently asked questions
Is Nudje a Gainsight alternative for founders and SMBs?
Yes. Gainsight targets enterprise CS teams; Nudje delivers the core retention outcome, catch at-risk and expansion accounts, reach out at the right moment, without a CS team or a long rollout.
Do I need a customer success team to use Nudje?
No. That is the point: Nudje's AI does the watching, prioritizing, and drafting. You review and approve. It is designed for founders without dedicated CS headcount.
Does Nudje do health scores like Gainsight?
Nudje focuses on detecting concrete moments (usage decline, renewal at risk, limits hit) and drafting the action, rather than a configurable enterprise health-score framework. For most founders that is the part that actually moves retention.
