This comparison reflects each product's publicly stated positioning and our own reading of it. Products change, plans change, and vendors ship. Check each vendor's own site before you decide, and treat anything here that contradicts them as out of date rather than authoritative.
Behavioral tracking & heatmaps
Watching what visitors do. This is the part most tools cover — and where Glew (a BI product) doesn't play at all.

Taking action — deploy the fix
The line the category doesn't cross. Every other tool here observes and reports; only DynoWeb changes the storefront.

AI ecosystem & platform
Where each tool lives. DynoWeb is Shopify-first and opens up to Claude; the others are general-web tools — a real advantage if you're not on Shopify.

Attribution & analytics
Following the money. DynoWeb ties revenue to on-page elements; Glew is the stronger tool for whole-business BI.

Pricing & plan inclusions
Taken from each vendor's own pricing page on the date checked — Lucky Orange, Crazy Egg, Mouseflow, Convert and Plerdy quote annual-billing rates. VWO, FullStory and Contentsquare do not publish paid pricing, so those cells say so rather than guess. Hotjar is mid-migration to Contentsquare; Glew is quote-based; Smartlook stopped selling new plans on 31 May 2026. Plans change — check each vendor before deciding.

The one line that separates them
Observation vs. action
Most tools in this category are excellent at showing you what happened. DynoWeb is built around what happens next — the suggested change, the preview, and the measured result.
General vs. commerce-native
A page-and-event data model can describe a storefront. It cannot reason about variants, cart composition or order value without you wiring that up first.
Breadth vs. focus
Suites bundle chat, surveys and reporting. That is a real advantage if you need those things. If you do, the comparison pages say so plainly.
Stop guessing. Fix it and see the money.
The fastest way to settle a comparison is to run both on your own traffic for a week and see which one changes a decision.
