OnRamp is the only customer onboarding platform built to keep your customer at the center.

“I just love OnRamp. Standard project management tools don’t have this great engagement dimension. I’ve swam in seas of messy tasks for years. That’s a nightmare, and this solves it.”

Glenn Levine, Senior Operations & Program Management, Espresa

LOOKING FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT ONBOARDING ADD-ON?

Arrows is an add-on. OnRamp is a customized Onboarding Platform.

Arrows began as a lightweight onboarding plugin for HubSpot teams — and their HubSpot integration is genuinely best-in-class. But today, they’ve shifted their primary focus to AI-powered digital sales rooms, with onboarding plans as a secondary product. 

If you’re a CS, implementation, or revenue team running B2B customer onboarding at scale, you need more than onboarding as an add-on, you need a purpose-built tool like OnRamp.

How is OnRamp different than Arrows?

Built for the Way Modern Teams Onboard Customers

When evaluating the best onboarding platform for CS teams, the question isn’t just features — it’s focus. OnRamp is purpose-built for mid-to-large organizations that rely on Customer Success to drive revenue and retention. Unlike tools that started in onboarding and pivoted to sales, OnRamp is built from the ground up to create and keep momentum — from kickoff to training, implementation, and adoption.

Here's how Arrows customer onboarding compares to OnRamp across the features that matter most to CS and implementation teams. 

 

 

OnRamp

Arrows

   Product Focus

 Purpose-built for customer onboarding and     engagement

 Primary focus has shifted to AI-powered digital sales rooms;  onboarding plans are now a secondary product

 Product Structure

One platform with both a customer-facing branded portal and internal project management tools

Two separate products (Sales Rooms & Onboarding Plans) — onboarding is the lighter-weight offering

Customer Experience

Fully branded self-serve portal with intuitive guidance, progress tracking, milestone recognition, and role-specific content delivery

Task-based onboarding plans in a shared link — functional but limited in branding, personalization, and portal depth

Onboarding Complexity

Built for complex, multi-phase enterprise onboarding with conditional workflows, dynamic personalization, and playbooks

Best suited for linear, checklist-based onboarding — advanced branching gated behind higher-tier plans

 CRM Integrations

 Native Salesforce and HubSpot integrations included   across all plans, both equally mature and deeply   integrated

HubSpot integration is best-in-class with 1,500+ installs; Salesforce integration is new and still maturing

 AI & Reporting

AI-powered reporting with onboarding velocity tracking, bottleneck detection, capacity planning, and proactive risk alerts

AI focused on sales room updates and follow-up email generation; onboarding-specific analytics are more limited

 Target Customer

Mid-to-large B2B organizations running CS-led onboarding at scale

 Primarily small businesses and mid-market HubSpot-centric teams; some enterprise adoption

 

How does Arrows pricing compare to OnRamp?

Arrows offers a lower starting price point, with their Growth plan beginning at $500 per month. Pricing can be even lower for HubSpot partner organizations. OnRamp’s pricing reflects the depth of a purpose-built enterprise onboarding platform — including a branded customer portal, AI-powered reporting, and mature integrations across CRMs. The right comparison isn’t monthly cost — it’s the cost of onboarding that doesn’t scale. When onboarding delays push out time-to-revenue by weeks or months, the ROI math changes quickly. Our customers routinely see 50-70% reductions in onboarding time and recognize revenue months sooner.

Does Arrows offer a free trial?

Yes, Arrows offers a 7-day free trial, and some plans are available month-to-month.

Is Arrows built for customer onboarding specifically?

Arrows customer onboarding tool was initially built for HubSpot teams — a simple, effective way to create onboarding plans inside your CRM. However, they have since shifted their primary focus to AI-powered digital sales rooms. Onboarding plans are positioned as a complementary product. While their onboarding plans are well-regarded for simpler, checklist-style use cases, the platform’s strategic direction has moved toward pre-sale deal acceleration rather than deepening post-sale customer onboarding capabilities.

How long does OnRamp implementation take?

Most OnRamp customers are fully onboarded in 30 days or less. Our team works closely with you from day one to configure workflows, integrate with your existing tech stack, and get your team up and running quickly — so you can start delivering faster time-to-value for your own customers right away.

Does OnRamp integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot?

Yes. OnRamp includes native integrations with both Salesforce and HubSpot across all plans — no add-ons or tier upgrades required. Your CRM data stays in sync automatically, giving your team full visibility into onboarding progress without switching between tools.
