Look elsewhere if

- Pricey if you need more than 10,000 replays: it's $79 at 25,000
- Watch out: recording stops at the monthly limit until the cycle resets

Pick Lucky Orange if
- Fits if you want heatmaps, recordings and a chat widget from one vendor
- Works for an online store that already runs on Shopify or BigCommerce
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 7-day trial
- Tight if your traffic jumps around, since plans follow monthly sessions and a spike can push you up a tier
- Pricey if you run several sites: extra websites are $5 each a month
- Watch out: longer data storage is an upgrade, and the pages disagree on whether Discovery AI is included

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.
