Hotjar (Contentsquare) vs Plerdy
Both tools are real-user analytics: a tracking script records what visitors did (clicks, scrolls, sessions). The comparison is about depth, price and extras — but note that NEITHER can evaluate a page before it has traffic; that's what a predictive tool (like our scanner) adds on top.
