Fullstory vs Plerdy

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.

Plerdy is a CRO and SEO platform for website owners, marketers, and UX, CRO, and SEO specialists. Its tools include dynamic heatmaps, historical click data, detailed filters, exports, session recordings, pop-ups, e-commerce tracking, conversion tracking, error monitoring, SERP checking, and A/B testing. Recordings can be viewed as session videos and shared as clips with developers. Tracking can be installed through JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Shopify, or a WordPress plugin, and Plerdy integrates with Google Analytics 4. The free plan lists 100 daily heatmaps, 500 video sessions, 5,000 SEO audits, 100 pop-ups, and one month of storage, among other limits. Paid plans start at $21/mo when billed annually. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card; afterward, data is adjusted to the Free package for one month. Each package covers one site, though domains, subdomains, and cross-domain sites can share account usage limits. Plerdy says its server is in Germany and describes privacy and security controls including pseudonymization, encryption, and SSL/TLS protection.
