PROS & CONS

STRENGTHS

  • Heatmaps provide instant visual insight into where users click, scroll, and move their mouse
  • Session recordings help identify UX problems that numbers alone cannot reveal clearly
  • Feedback widgets and surveys let you collect qualitative data directly from users

WEAKNESSES

  • Recording storage limits can fill up quickly on high-traffic sites without upgrading plans
  • Lacks deep quantitative analytics so you need to pair it with other tools like GA4
