The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Crazy Egg the Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly; Employment Hero hR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
