Which one is for you
Pick Crazy Egg if
- Fits if you want heatmaps and surveys for a small site and can start on the free plan
- Works for agencies, since domains and team members are unlimited
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want recordings for free, because the free plan lists none
- Tight if you need A/B testing, since it starts on Plus at $99 a month
- Watch out: paid plans are billed annually and no monthly price is shown
- Watch out: hitting a monthly limit pauses data collection until the 1st
- Pricey if you outgrow the plans: extra heatmaps or recordings go through sales
Pick Ptengine if
- Fits if you run a small site and want to see where people click
- Makes sense if you want heatmaps and A/B tests from one vendor
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your site has over 3,000 pageviews a month, as free tracking stops at the limit
- Pricey if you want more, as Growth is $49 for 3,000 pageviews
- Watch out: Insight and Experience are priced separately, and we only read the Insight prices
- Watch out: free keeps data 1 month and Growth 6 months
- Watch out: unlimited events and API connections need the custom Premium plan

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
