How we compiled this
Prices sourced by fetching each vendor's official pricing page on 2026-06-14. FullStory (fullstory.com/pricing) shows only a Free tier with public pricing; all paid tiers (Business, Advanced, Enterprise) require a demo request — recorded as null. Hotjar (hotjar.com/pricing) permanently redirected (HTTP 308) to contentsquare.com/pricing — Hotjar was acquired by Contentsquare in 2023 and fully merged; Contentsquare's pricing page renders no self-serve USD amounts. Microsoft Clarity (clarity.microsoft.com) is free forever with no paid tier. Smartlook has been acquired by Cisco and is being decommissioned September 30, 2027; no new subscriptions are available. LogRocket (logrocket.com/pricing) publishes self-serve prices for Free and Core tiers; Professional requires annual commitment but a starting price is shown. Mouseflow (mouseflow.com/pricing) publishes all tier prices as month-to-month rates with up to 35% off annually, but exact annual per-plan amounts were not displayed. Crazy Egg (crazyegg.com/pricing) publishes annual-only prices with no month-to-month option. Corroboration via aggregator pages attempted; G2 (g2.com) returned 403, Capterra (capterra.com) returned 404, TrustRadius returned 403. GetApp and SoftwareAdvice corroboration obtained for Crazy Egg but showed older plan names differing from official page — official page figures used as primary. All telephony fields (minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall) are null throughout — this is a non-telephony vertical.
