Plerdy vs Smartlook
Smartlook: Shutting down — acquired by Cisco, absorbed into Splunk. If you're comparing the two, the practical question is where to migrate — and Plerdy is a live option; the table below shows what it does and doesn't cover.
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.
