Crazy Egg vs Mixpanel

From $29 per month (annual billing, 5k pageviews)

Free tier available

Tracked pageviews are the meter, and the entry plan's 5,000 a month is small enough that a modest marketing site outgrows it. Recording and heatmap-report counts are separate caps on the same plan.

Growth now starts at $0 and scales with event volume up to 20M events a month, with the first million free; annual billing saves around $480 a year. Enterprise is quote-based. Event-volume pricing stays generous for early products but climbs with a chatty event schema.

Free trial on every plan; no permanently free tier.

Free forever, up to 1M events a month.

• Heatmaps, recordings, surveys and A/B testing in one subscription rather than three.
• The A/B editor is usable by a marketer without an engineer, which is the whole point of buying it.
• Twenty years of the same product, which is unusual reassurance in this category.

• Genuinely self-serve — product managers build their own reports without help.
• Large free tier that carries an early-stage product a long way.
• Fast query performance on large event volumes.

• Pageview-metered, and pageviews are the thing you least control — a good week of traffic is an overage.
• Session replay is shallower than FullStory or LogRocket: no console, no network, no error correlation.
• Web only. There is no mobile SDK.

• Requires disciplined event instrumentation and naming.
• Weaker on user-level qualitative investigation than replay tools.
• Costs scale with event volume, which grows faster than user count.

Marketing teams that want to see behaviour and act on it in one tool, without an engineer in the loop.

Product teams that want fast, self-serve behavioural reporting.
