The short version

  • Only Malwarebytes 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; Malwarebytes free version limited to on-demand scanning and removal; no real-time protection
  • They diverge on capability: Crazy Egg covers Heatmaps, Malwarebytes covers Malware detection & removal.
