Crazy Egg review and pricing

Long-standing heatmap focused tool for marketing and CRO teams.

By Crazy Egg, Inc. · Founded 2005 · Carlsbad, CA · private

Crazy Egg is one of the longest-running heatmap platforms in the category, founded 2005 by Hiten Shah and Neil Patel in Carlsbad. Founder-led and bootstrapped through 2026 (no PE acquisition or external-investor pressure events). The product covers heatmaps (click, scroll, attention, confetti reports), session replay (added 2019), A/B testing (basic), surveys, and overlay reports. Strengths: mature heatmap depth (especially the Crazy Egg confetti report for segmented click visualization), founder-led with consistent strategy for two decades, simple UX accessible to marketing teams without analyst support, real free trial, and competitive SMB pricing. Trade-offs: session replay added later as a follow-on feature and remains thinner than FullStory and Hotjar, mobile SDK quality lags peers, AI feature velocity well below FullStory and LogRocket, no enterprise positioning (Fortune 500 references rare), integrations footprint smaller than peers, and the product UX feels notably dated relative to LogRocket and modern peers. Crazy Egg is the right fit when marketing teams want heatmaps without the full replay platform overhead.
