| Pricing | Growth headline is "Starts at $0" (first 1M events free for plans purchased after February 2025); the on-page calculator in the captured state showed $120/month billed yearly vs $140 monthly at the 18M slider point · free tier: Free forever, no credit card and no trial: unlimited seats, up to 1M events/month, 10K session replays/month, up to 1k MEU/month for experiments, up to 10 active feature flags, funnels and retention, 5 saved reports per seat, 30-day replay retention, 24/5 email and Slack community support; cohorts cannot be saved and lookup tables, custom properties and permissions are excluded | Not published · free tier: A "Start for free" entry point exists on the Contentsquare Heap page, but its limits are unverified |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (event volume) with Free, Growth and quote-only Enterprise tiers | Custom |
| Best for | Software and product teams under roughly 1M events/month who want a permanent free tier with unlimited seats, and small-to-mid product teams (the vendor's stated Growth profile is under 50 employees) with at least one owner of a disciplined tracking plan who also want experimentation and session replay from the same vendor. | Product or growth teams that want quantitative analytics plus qualitative session replay, heatmaps and surveys from one vendor, prefer autocapture over rigorous event schemas, and are comfortable buying into Contentsquare's wider experience-intelligence suite. |
| Avoid if | You have high event volume without instrumentation discipline, no engineering capacity to own a tracking plan, are a B2B company that cannot commit to Group Analytics up front, need hand-held onboarding or 24/7 support below Enterprise, or require a firm published price before speaking to sales. | You specifically wanted independent, engineering-first Heap, or you need published self-serve pricing you can budget against without talking to sales. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
