Crazy Egg vs VWO
Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

Free tierWhat drives the bill
The metric that actually scales your invoice.
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.
Priced by monthly tracked users across modules, so buying testing plus insights raises the total substantially. The Wingify rebrand has moved pricing behind Growth/Pro/Enterprise tiers without published figures — get a quote rather than relying on an old VWO list price.

Strengths
- 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.
- Observation and experimentation in one place shortens the hypothesis loop.
- Visual editor is capable and marketer-friendly.
- Cheaper than Optimizely at comparable traffic.
Limitations
- 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.
- Module-based pricing means the useful configuration costs much more than the headline.
- Client-side flicker on complex single-page applications.
- Server-side capability lags the flag-first platforms.
