Alternatives

Pick the proprietary product you use today to see the open source apps that cover the same job, what each one replaces well and where it falls short.

We list an app as an alternative only when its open source edition covers the product's main job. Matching one feature is not enough: a tool with session recordings but no heatmaps or surveys is not listed as a Hotjar alternative, and an app whose funnels and cohorts are reserved for a paid edition is not listed as a Mixpanel alternative. Each product page explains why people look for a replacement, using the vendor's own documentation, and what to check before you switch.
