The short version

Only GemPages has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
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; GemPages free plan is capped and the paid Basic tier still limits usage, with plans running from about $1 to $100 per month depending on page views and features
