Microsoft Clarity
Mentioned 9x by users

Users switch because Clarity is 100% free with no session limits. Offers heatmaps and session recordings without impacting budget. Trade-off: no surveys, only 30-day data retention, less privacy-focused.

Crazy Egg
Mentioned 5x by users

One of the original heatmap tools. Users switch for simpler pricing, A/B testing integration, and lower performance impact. Good for teams that want focused heatmap functionality without bloat.
