The backstory
Crazy Egg was one of the original heatmap tools and built a business on showing marketers where people click and scroll. That exact feature set is now free and uncapped in Microsoft Clarity, with AI-written summaries on top. The remaining paid features, split tests and surveys, are covered better elsewhere. There is no longer a reason for a new team to start a subscription here.
