The PLG Tech Stack
Product-led growth requires a different tool philosophy than sales-led companies. Instead of tools that support sales teams, you need tools that support self-service customer journeys at scale.
Activation Without Humans
In PLG, users need to reach value without talking to anyone. Your tools must guide them automatically. Sequenzy sends behavioral emails when users are stuck. Pendo shows in-app guidance at the right moment. Together, they create an automated activation engine.
Data-Driven Iteration
PLG companies obsess over product metrics. Which features correlate with conversion? Where do users drop off? What distinguishes retained users from churned? Analytics tools like Mixpanel answer these questions and inform product decisions.
Seamless Monetization
Converting free users to paid should be frictionless. Stripe's self-service checkout handles upgrades without sales involvement. Sequenzy times upgrade prompts based on actual usage rather than arbitrary schedules.
Email in Product-Led Growth
Email is the most important non-product touchpoint in PLG. When users are not in your product, email brings them back. Sequenzy is uniquely suited for PLG email because of its behavioral focus.
Onboarding Sequences
New users need guidance to reach activation. Sequenzy triggers onboarding emails based on what users have and have not done, providing relevant help rather than generic content.
Feature Adoption
Users often miss features that would make them successful. Sequenzy identifies users who have not discovered key capabilities and educates them automatically.
Upgrade Timing
The right upgrade prompt at the right time converts. Sequenzy uses usage data to identify users approaching limits or demonstrating expansion readiness.
Churn Prevention
When engagement drops, Sequenzy intervenes before users consciously decide to leave. Re-engagement sequences bring people back to the product.
