The short version

  • Only Supermetrics 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; Supermetrics every package includes only 1 core destination; sending the same data to a second destination is a paid extra
  • They diverge on capability: Crazy Egg covers Heatmaps, Supermetrics covers Multi-source data connectors.
