HEATPOINTS VS PLERDY
Twelve tools that watch. One that predicts.
TL;DR
Plerdy is a Swiss-army CRO suite — a dozen real-user tools (heatmaps, replay, pop-ups, A/B, SEO checker) behind one tracking script, from ~$21/month. Everything it shows you requires a live site, traffic and, in Europe, a consent banner. Heatpoints answers the question no tracking suite can: what will a first-time eye do on this page — before launch, without a script, without a banner. And Pulse closes the loop by checking the prediction against real, cookieless aggregates.

|---|---|---|
| Approach | Records real visitors (12-tool suite) | Predicts attention (before launch) |
| Requirements | Tracking script + live traffic | A URL — or a screenshot |
| Works before launch | — | Yes — mockups, staging, AI-generated pages |
| EEA consent banner | Yes — behavioral tracking | No — prediction runs on our servers; Pulse is cookieless aggregates |
| Session replay | Yes | No — deliberate (Clarity does it free) |
| Pop-ups / A/B / funnels | Yes — their breadth | — |
| Real-user check | Full individual sessions | Pulse: anonymous aggregates vs the prediction — the loop nobody else closes |
| AI-written audit + word-level copy | — | Included in every report |
| White-label client reports | — | €99/mo |
| Entry price | Free tier (daily limits) · from ~$21/mo | Free 10/mo · Pro 29 € · Agency 99 € |
Honest note: if you run a live store and want replay, pop-ups and funnels in one inexpensive box, Plerdy is a reasonable Swiss-army knife — and Microsoft Clarity gives you the replay part free. We don't compete on breadth. We compete on the question none of them can answer: will this page work, before anyone visits it?
FAQ
What is Plerdy exactly?
An all-in-one CRO suite: real-user heatmaps, session replay, pop-ups, A/B testing, funnels, event tracking, e-commerce analytics and an SEO checker — about a dozen tools behind one tracking script. Free tier with daily limits, paid plans from around $21/month.
Does Plerdy have a predictive AI heatmap?
No. Plerdy's heatmaps are built from real visitor behavior — clicks, scrolls, cursor movement — recorded by a script on your site. It can't say anything about a page before it has traffic. That's the structural gap Heatpoints fills: predicted attention on any URL, mockup or staging page, in 30 seconds.
But Heatpoints has real-user data too, right?
Yes — Pulse, and the difference matters: Pulse collects anonymous aggregates only (scroll reach, dwell, rage clicks) with zero cookies and no consent banner, and its job is to verify the prediction against reality. Plerdy records full individual sessions with replay — more detail, but a script, traffic and EEA consent are required.
Which one should I pick?
Live store with steady traffic and you want replay, pop-ups and funnels in one cheap suite? Plerdy is a fair pick (so is the free Microsoft Clarity). Pages that aren't launched yet, client audits to deliver, or an allergy to consent banners? That's Heatpoints — and the two can coexist on the same site.
