Incredible No-Code Content Block Editor for Any Website
I have had a great experience so far. I think out of the many companies I've worked with, the Candu team has provided me with the best customer service. I'm also excited about their roadmap and eagerness to develop the platform according to customer needs.
Pros
I like that it allows me to add content blocks to any of my websites and then edit those content blocks outside of my website, through the Candu platform. The idea use case is adding a seat to your Candu account and giving access to an editor or content manager. It allows them to change up the content inside the content block without 1) needing access to the underlying website itself; 2) needing to code anything.
I also really like the team and the support. I've had a few hiccups along the way but support got it taken care of very fast. I also am impressed that Candu has so many guides to help me along the way of getting it integrated and everything up and working.
I would definitely recommend this product to someone that needed a great no-code web tool.
Cons
The only thing I don't really like at the moment is the install process. The Candu website provides a javascript script to enter and in that javascript you have to tag the slug and css id for inserting the content block. It can seem intimidating, but the docs explain it very well. Support helped me out in just a few minutes and I was up and running very fast.

I did not know how much I needed this
When I first heard about Candu I said to myself "I don't need this". I was so wrong!
Out of curiosity, I did a little research to figure out what it did. I discovered that it was exactly what I needed, I just hadn't figured it out.
I'm currently building a SaaS backlink manager, and one of the features I have on my roadmap is a checklist with SEO tips. We figured that building the feature would require about 2 weeks of developer time.
Well, it just so happens that Candu has a template for checklists that tracks and saves the user's progress. However, I needed a little bit more for my specific use case. I have to track the checklist progress for each domain the user is tracking backlinks for. So, I needed per project tracking, not just user tracking.
Fortunately, all I had to do was ask the team at Candu if my use case was possible. They not only replied with the answer I was looking for, then even created a post with my specific question on their knowledge base!
I was able to implement the checklist into my SaaS in less than 30 minutes. I saved at least 2 weeks of development time! Now I'm looking into doing a user dashboard, also with the help of a Candu template.
Candu is a total no-brainer, especially if you have a use case similar to mine or just want to easily add no-code elements to any website.
10000% recommended!
Pros
I was able to add a very cool feature to my SaaS with practically no code at all.
Cons
Can't think of anything, it does what I need it for.

Candu violated the #1 rule for running lifetime deals. Do not take users money and then lock them into legacy plans that don't update with the latest features. I absolutely hate companies that do this and any company that does should go out of business.
Pros
It was cool until they revealed that they were fundamentally a shady company.
Cons
Candu ran a lifetime deal to raise money to build their product on Appsumo. They had many users purchase the product, guaranteeing future updates. Then they put everybody who purchased the Appsumo plan on a legacy pricing plan and refused to give access to new features.#1 bad business practice for any company that ran an Appsumo campaign. Highly recommend not engaging with such a company.

Candu - Can Do Your Onboarding Processes
I've been looking for the perfect onboarding tool and Candu is the outstanding solution for me. I love the easy onboarding that Candu gives you when you first setup your account because it helps walk you through setting up your own walkthroughs. It was very easy to get my account set and being able to set up multiple workspaces is an awesome feature. If you are looking for an onboarding too that can help you get started quickly and easily, then Candu can do it for you for you.
Pros
Ease of use when setting up my account. Flexibility when choosing templates to use when setting up my onboarding. Love the walkthrough that Candu provide to help you learn how to use their product.
Cons
Although I love the option of having a community, if it was built with Circle, I would love for the Community Switcher to be turned on so I can switch between communities build with Circle.
Response from Candu
Hi Kim, thank you so much for the review.
We totally took your feedback about the community, and we have since updated it so that people can switch from one Circle community to the next.
We really appreciate you joining us as a customer.
We look forward to working together.

Wow. Candu has so many use cases
Pros
Candu is a no code webpage editor I recently purchased.
My base web application is Wix, and Candu is somewhat similar in several respects, easy and smooth.
Moreover, one can create a ‘Style guide’ with standardized fonts and aesthetic patterns.
Well, the greatest forte of Candu to my mind is Personalization. One can create user defined segments of users based on their traits as well as their actions on our website. Each segment can thereby be shown tailored content. This can have several use cases right from marketing, offers, retention, user logged in dashboards and much more.
I am excited to understand what sweets are coming up on Candu’s roadmap. My favorite one is integration with CRM. That might mean ability to personalize at an individual user level (if my understanding is right).
Cons
Candu has a slight learning curve involved (you can’t expect to get productive on it from the first hour!) but the upsides are manifold. I look forward to uncovering more and more in Candu and the business benefiting from it.
