Plerdy vs Zoho PageSense

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.

Zoho PageSense is a no-code platform for analyzing site metrics, testing changes, and improving conversions. Its web analytics include real-time reports, segmentation, filtering, data visualization, conversion-cycle tracking, and Zia insights. Heatmaps, session recordings, form analytics, and funnel analysis help identify visitor behavior and drop-offs. Testing options include A/B tests, split URL tests, and server-side full-stack tests. PageSense also offers polls, pop-ups, and web and mobile push notifications. Its Android and iOS SDKs support app interaction tracking, in-app events, and push notifications. A Chrome extension lets users create and manage experiments in the browser. Integrations include Zapier, Google Ads, Intercom, Zoho Sites, Zoho SalesIQ, Zoho Forms, Zoho Commerce, and Zoho Desk. Session recordings mask keystrokes and inputs by default, and users can mask selected page areas. The Forever Free plan costs nothing and includes 5,000 monthly tracked users, one project, one month of data retention, and five goals. A 15-day trial offers full feature access, 5,000 monthly tracked users, and three projects, with no credit card required. If a plan's tracked-user allowance is exceeded, experiments pause while configurations and reports remain accessible.
