AskAnalytics vs Microsoft Clarity
Clarity is Microsoft’s free heatmap and session-recording tool, and at free it is easy to recommend for general UX curiosity. AskAnalytics exists for a different job: telling you, every morning, how the sessions with your money on the line went — without you watching recordings at all.
| Microsoft Clarity | AskAnalytics | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | General UX insight across all pageviews | Auditing money sessions, one by one |
| Cost model | Free | Usage pricing: $9.99/domain plus 5¢ a recorded session |
| Who watches the sessions | You do | AI reads every one; you read the digest |
| Money focus | All pageviews mixed together | Paid clicks and chosen conversion pages, judged by the money behind them |
| Output | Heatmaps, dashboards, recordings | A morning email with verdicts and linked replays |
When Microsoft Clarity fits better
Clarity is the sensible pick when:
- You want free, general-purpose heatmaps and recordings
- You are curious about site behaviour broadly, with no ad budget or checkout on the line
- You are happy to browse recordings yourself when something looks off
When AskAnalytics fits better
AskAnalytics is worth paying for when:
- Real money rides on your paid clicks and conversion pages, and you want each session accounted for
- You will never have time to watch recordings, but would read a short morning email
- You want bots and wasted clicks flagged rather than mixed into averages
