Inspectlet
Technical session replay with dynamic and eye-tracking heatmaps, built-in A/B testing, and form analytics.
About
Inspectlet is an independent session-replay tool with a more technical toolkit than the marketing-oriented competition. Alongside full session recordings it offers dynamic heatmaps, eye-tracking heatmaps, scroll-depth analysis, and element-level reporting (per provider materials), plus built-in A/B testing, form analytics, JavaScript error logging, a Live View of current visitors, and AI session insights. A 2026 comparison puts it as the debugging-flavored alternative to Hotjar: less polish on the research side, more useful data for engineers chasing bugs.
It is still an independent company in 2026 (confirmed by Plerdy's Hotjar comparison), which is notable in a market that keeps consolidating. Pricing is published and flat: a free plan with 5,000 session replays a month and paid plans from $33/month billed annually. The trade-off is scale — a smaller vendor means fewer integrations, less ecosystem documentation, and a slower feature cadence than the well-funded players.
What it can do
- Full session recordings with JavaScript error logging
- Dynamic, eye-tracking, and click heatmaps with scroll-depth analysis
- Built-in A/B testing with per-variant behavior analysis
- Form analytics for field-level drop-off diagnosis
- Live View of current visitors and session tagging
- AI session insights for automated issue surfacing
Setup
- Sign up for the free plan (5,000 session replays/month) and add the tracking code.
- Review recordings filtered by JavaScript errors or rage clicks.
- Open dynamic and eye-tracking heatmaps for your key templates.
- Run A/B tests with the built-in testing tool and watch per-variant recordings.
Prerequisites
Free to start; paid plan ($33+/mo billed annually) for higher volumes and advanced features.
Use cases
Works with
Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (METRICS tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: independent company in 2026 (per Plerdy); free 5,000 replays/month and $33+/mo paid tiers confirmed across Wingify and Plerdy comparisons; feature set (eye-tracking heatmaps, built-in A/B testing, JS error logging) consistently reported. Strengths: genuinely technical replay toolkit, flat published pricing, rare independent in a consolidating market. Docked for: (1) small vendor — thinner integration ecosystem and slower feature cadence; (2) heatmap sophistication claims are provider-sourced; (3) limited third-party review volume to cross-check. License: proprietary SaaS, closed-source.
