Clicky Analytics vs Crazy Egg

Clicky is a real-time web analytics platform used by more than a million websites as a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. It shows individual visitors, page views, and JavaScript events as they happen, with anonymized, GDPR/CCPA-friendly tracking that avoids collecting personal data for many use cases. Beyond core traffic reporting, Clicky bundles heatmaps, uptime monitoring, media (video/audio) tracking, and advanced segmentation and bot filtering into its paid Pro tiers, while a free plan covers a single site with modest daily page views. Plans scale from a $9.99/month Pro tier up to custom Enterprise pricing for very high-traffic sites.

Crazy Egg is a website optimization platform used by more than 449,000 sites to see how visitors actually interact with a page. It combines heatmaps and scrollmaps, session recordings, and AI-assisted web analytics into a single dashboard, installed via one script tag or through Shopify, WordPress, and Google Tag Manager integrations. Beyond visual behavior tracking, Crazy Egg includes built-in A/B testing, on-site surveys with more than 50 templates, and deployable popup CTAs for testing messaging without engineering help. Paid plans run from a $29/month Starter tier up to $599/month Enterprise, all billed annually, with unlimited team seats and domains included at every tier and a 30-day free trial.
