Fullstory vs Journey Insight by Alterian

Fullstory is a behavioral analytics platform for businesses examining customer experiences across websites, web apps, and mobile apps. It brings together session replay, heatmaps, watched elements, tabbed browsing, and developer tools. Analytics features include dashboards, journey maps, conversion funnels, user segments and cohorts, mobile analytics, guides and surveys, and sentiment signals. Fullcapture collects behavior from web and mobile apps into a single stream processed on the server. Mobile replay reconstructs sessions from draw instructions rather than screenshots and supports iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and Cordova/Capacitor. Teams can add custom event data through webhooks and JavaScript or HTTP APIs. Privacy controls allow captured elements to be masked or excluded, using either non-technical rules or code-first controls. A new account's 14-day trial includes up to 5,000 sessions, two weeks of replay and analytics retention, and 20 user seats. FullstoryFree lists 30,000 sessions, 10 seats, and one-year replay and analytics retention; its price is not listed. If its monthly session limit is exceeded, existing sessions remain accessible, but new ones stop until the next cycle or an upgrade.

Journey Insight by Alterian analyzes anonymized customer journey data drawn from millions of users and billions of browsing events across the open web. It maps activity before, during, and after a visit, including search, comparisons, referrals, and competitor activity. Reports cover web traffic, market categories, loyalty and crossover, market concentration, market focus and reach, journey analysis, and campaign research; availability depends on the plan. Insight Copilot provides conversational AI analysis, with daily usage limits that vary by plan. Its MCP connector links market and competitor intelligence to Claude, ChatGPT, and other compatible tools, subject to account limits. The connector is read-only: it cannot access raw panel-level data, create custom visualizations, or take actions inside Journey Insight. Users can download visualizations, supporting data, and AI answers as images or text. The web service has a free plan with no expiry or credit-card requirement and requires no setup, integrations, or IT support. Paid access starts at $249 per month; there is no time-limited free trial. Alterian is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
