Crazy Egg is a conversion-optimisation platform — heatmaps, scroll maps, confetti segmentation, recordings and A/B testing — sold on a subscription with a free trial rather than a free tier. If you are running structured CRO work, that bundle is the point. If you wanted to see where people click, you are buying a lot of platform to get one map.
A paid CRO suite. The heatmap is one feature of many. Everything below is checked against crazyegg.com itself — but pricing and limits move, so confirm anything that matters on their own page before deciding.
| FeedPulse | Crazy Egg | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free forever at any traffic level — no pageview pricing. | Paid subscription after a trial; priced by pageviews, so cost grows with traffic |
| Signup | None, and no card. | Account, billing details for the trial, and site verification |
| What you get | Click and scroll heatmap. One job. | Heatmaps, scroll maps, confetti, recordings and A/B testing |
| Required link back | None. | None — it is a private tool |
| Cookies & privacy | No cookies, no recordings, no IP stored — nothing to consent-banner. | Cookies and session recording, so a consent banner and masking rules are required |
| Customisation | Pick a page and a date range. | A deep dashboard with segments and experiment reporting |
| Where the data lives | Aggregate click coordinates only. | Held by them, with retention tied to your plan |
| Removing it | Delete the snippet. Nothing left behind. | Remove the script; the data stays in your account |
A/B testing and confetti segmentation are real work that a free heatmap cannot replace. If you are being paid to lift a conversion rate and need to prove which variant won, Crazy Egg (or Clarity, which is free) earns its place in the stack.

Two worth knowing: Microsoft Clarity is free and does more than we do (recordings, rage clicks) but needs an account and a consent banner, and FeedPulse, which is free with no account and no cookies but only draws the heatmap. We have a fair comparison with Clarity too.
Nothing, at any traffic level. There is no paid tier to upgrade to, no session cap and no card on file — the whole product is free, including every other widget and all the SEO tools.
