Best for session replay for small sites
LiveSession records visitor sessions and gives you heatmaps and funnels, and the free plan covers 1,000 sessions a month. That runs out fast, the free plan keeps data for a month, and dashboards, custom events and Slack alerts need Pro. Busy sites will outgrow it.
Who LiveSession is for
- Fits if you want to watch real sessions on a site with under 1,000 visits a month
- Works for support teams that want replays inside Intercom or Zendesk
Who LiveSession is not for
- Tight if you're staying free: 1,000 sessions a month and 1 month of data
- Too light for dashboards, custom events or Slack alerts on Basic, as those are Pro
- Pricey if your traffic grows, because the price follows recorded sessions up to 150,000 a month
- Watch out: the listed prices are the annually billed ones
Why LiveSession gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$54 a month for 5,000 sessions on Basic, billed annually. That sits in the middle of what analytics tools charge, and Pro is $83 for 10,000.
- CFree plan and trialFree plan with 1,000 sessions a month, 3 team members and 2 projects. Data is kept for 1 month, so a normal site hits the limit quickly.
- CFeaturesSession replay, heatmaps, clickmaps and funnels. Dashboards, custom events and Slack alerts are missing from Basic.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You add a tracking script and set up projects and funnels yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it links to Intercom, Zendesk, LiveChat, Sentry, Shopify, Zapier, Segment and Slack.

Keep LiveSession, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of LiveSession you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 27 of the 58 other website and product analytics tools grade higher. It costs $648 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Recordings of what each visitor did on your pages.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Intercom, Zendesk and LiveChat among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. LiveSession’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
