Where Cuttl is different.
Test on every plan, including Free
Cuttl’s free plan runs one A/B or split URL test at a time, and Pro and Max run more, with multivariate tests on Max. Each variant gets its own heatmaps and recordings. On Crazy Egg, A/B tests start on the $99 plan.
Web Experiments →Every session recorded
Cuttl records every session up to your plan’s unique visitor limit, and heatmaps cover every page from all of your traffic. Crazy Egg records 50 to 10,000 sessions a month by plan, sampled per domain, and limits the number of heatmap reports.
Journey Insights →Know whether the fix worked
Cuttl groups rage, dead and error clicks into issues ranked by severity. On Pro and Max it watches for a problem to stop after you fix it, marks the issue fixed once the clean sessions can’t be chance, and reopens it if the problem comes back.
Frustration and issues →Your AI assistant, with approvals
Cuttl’s MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code read your heatmaps and recordings and draft tests from real page elements. Nothing goes live until a person approves it.
MCP →Why Cuttl is the better choice.
- A/B and split URL tests on every plan, including Free.
- Every session recorded, up to your unique visitor limit.
- Rage, dead and error clicks grouped into issues, ranked by severity.
- Change Impact tells you whether a change worked, even without A/B-test traffic.
- Your AI assistant can read your data and draft tests, and a person approves them.

Questions
Is Cuttl a Crazy Egg alternative?
Yes. Cuttl covers what most teams use Crazy Egg for (heatmaps, session recordings, funnels, surveys and A/B tests) and adds form analytics, issues ranked by severity and multivariate tests on Max. For more options, see seven Hotjar alternatives compared.
Does Crazy Egg do A/B testing?
Yes, on its Plus plan ($99 a month, billed annually) and up. It runs visual editor and split URL tests, with heatmaps and recordings for each variant. Cuttl runs A/B and split URL tests on every plan, including Free, from the same Cuttl Tag as its heatmaps and recordings.
How much does Crazy Egg cost?
In October 2026, Crazy Egg costs $29 a month for 5,000 tracked pageviews and 50 recordings, $99 for 150,000 pageviews and 1,000 recordings, $249 for 500,000 and 5,000, and $599 for 1,000,000 and 10,000. All plans are billed annually. Cuttl has a free plan, then Pro and Max, priced by monthly unique visitors.
Does Crazy Egg have a free plan?
Yes. Crazy Egg’s free plan includes web analytics, instant heatmaps, conversion analytics and surveys, and paid plans have a 30-day free trial. Cuttl’s free plan covers one site and up to 5,000 unique visitors a month, with heatmaps, session recordings, form analytics and one A/B or split URL test at a time.
What happens when I reach my plan’s limit?
Crazy Egg doesn’t charge overages. When a plan’s monthly pageviews or recordings run out, data collection pauses and starts again on the 1st of the next month. Cuttl plans are set by monthly unique visitors, and every session is recorded up to that limit.
Can I run Crazy Egg and Cuttl at the same time?
Yes. Both load from a script on your page, so you can run them side by side while you compare. If both run A/B tests on the same page, test in one tool at a time.
Can I move my Crazy Egg data to Cuttl?
Recordings and heatmaps can’t be transferred between tools, because each tool records sessions in its own format. Crazy Egg keeps recordings for 6 months on Starter and 2 years on its other plans, so export anything you need before your plan ends.
