The short version

  • Only Coda has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Coda mobile apps are significantly weaker than competitors with sign-in issues and poor performance; Crazy Egg the Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly
  • They diverge on capability: Coda covers Interactive documents, Crazy Egg covers Heatmaps.
