Where Cuttl is different.
Test the fix in the same tool
In Cuttl, a problem such as rage clicks on a coupon button becomes a test idea with the recordings attached. One click drafts the A/B test, and each variant gets its own heatmaps and recordings. Mouseflow doesn’t run tests, so the fix goes to a second tool.
Web Experiments →Forms, funnels and tests from the free plan
Form analytics, funnels, ranked issues, site health and A/B tests are on every Cuttl plan. At Mouseflow, form analytics and the AI connection start on Premium, $319 a month for 100,000 sessions.
Pricing →Know whether the fix worked
On Pro and Max, Cuttl 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.
- Find a problem and test the fix in one tool, from one Cuttl Tag.
- A/B and split URL tests on every plan, including Free.
- Every variant gets its own heatmaps and recordings, so you can see why the winner won.
- Form analytics on every plan, not only from $319 a month.
- Change Impact tells you whether a change worked, even without A/B-test traffic.

Questions
Is Cuttl a Mouseflow alternative?
Yes. Cuttl covers what most teams use Mouseflow for (session recordings, heatmaps, friction detection, funnels, form analytics and feedback surveys) and adds A/B, split URL and multivariate testing on the same plan. For more options, see seven Hotjar alternatives compared.
Does Mouseflow do A/B testing?
No. Mouseflow’s pricing and features pages list recordings, heatmaps, friction detection, funnels, forms and surveys, but no A/B testing. Cuttl runs A/B and split URL tests on every plan, from the same Cuttl Tag as its heatmaps and recordings.
How much does Mouseflow cost?
In October 2026, Mouseflow is free for 500 sessions a month, then $25 a month for 5,000 sessions, $109 for 25,000 and $319 for 100,000, billed monthly. Mouseflow says yearly billing saves up to 35%. Enterprise is priced on request. Cuttl has a free plan, then Pro and Max, priced by monthly unique visitors.
Is there a free Mouseflow alternative with A/B testing?
Yes. 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.
How long does each tool keep data?
Mouseflow keeps data for 1 month on Free, 3 on Essential, 6 on Advanced and 12 on Premium. Cuttl keeps recordings and heatmap detail for 7 days on Free, 45 on Pro and 90 on Max, and keeps reports and numbers for 90 days, 1 year and 3 years.
Can I run Mouseflow 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.
Can I move my Mouseflow data to Cuttl?
Recordings and heatmaps can’t be transferred between tools, because each tool records sessions in its own format. Run both side by side for a week or two, and export anything you need from Mouseflow before your plan ends.
