Best heatmap tool for Shopify: apps, prices and what each tracks in a store

Best heatmap tool for Shopify: Plerdy, Microsoft Clarity and Crazy Egg compared

The best heatmap tool for Shopify is Plerdy for a store that wants purchase value counted per page element, and Microsoft Clarity for a store that only needs click and scroll maps, as read on October 30, 2026. The table lists three tools whose own pages name a Shopify route.

Plerdy's listing price is billed every 30 days and Crazy Egg's price is billed annually, so the two are not on one basis. The button below goes to Plerdy.

Plerdy's Shopify app: plans, billing and store tracking

Plerdy publishes its own Shopify listing. It lists a Free plan plus Startup at $32 a month, Scale at $64 and Thrive at $108, all billed in USD every 30 days, and no Enterprise plans. Heatmap and recording limits match plerdy.com: Free 100 daily page views and 500 recordings in total, Startup 500 and 5,000, Scale 1,500 and 10,000, Thrive 3,000 and 30,000.

Plerdy says its e-commerce tracking gives each page element a purchase value, and its Ecommerce Analytics page labels element lift as correlation, not cause. Plerdy's funnel page lists the store steps as category, product, cart, order and thank-you page, within a seven-step maximum. On Plerdy's Shopify listing each paid plan carries a 14-day free trial.

Microsoft Clarity on Shopify at no cost

Microsoft's guide installs Clarity through the Shopify app "Microsoft Clarity: AI Insights": install it, confirm the Clarity JS is toggled on, select Save and allow a few hours for the dashboard to fill. A store that added Clarity earlier through theme.liquid is migrated by the app without code changes. For Shopify Plus stores, Microsoft says checkout and post-checkout pages are tracked through Shopify's Pixel.

Microsoft's blog says Smart Events track product views, add-to-cart events and checkouts on Shopify without custom setup. The app's listing reads "Free Forever". Microsoft says consent should be obtained for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland.

Crazy Egg for Shopify on annual billing

Crazy Egg lists Shopify among its integrations, and its Shopify page says to connect the store, then run five Snapshot reports. Starter is $29 a month billed annually, with no monthly price, 5,000 tracked pageviews a month (pageviews counted across the account) and 50 recordings a month. Crazy Egg says its heatmaps do not sample by default, and its plans carry a 30-day free trial. Pick Crazy Egg for a store that prefers unsampled heatmaps on annual billing.

Cart and checkout reports for a store

A Plerdy funnel needs the tracking code on every step page. Plerdy's replay page lists cart and checkout among its use cases, and Plerdy says its error monitoring finds broken pages, failed checkouts and form issues. Plerdy's listing tags Checkout under Works with, and no Plerdy page describes what is recorded on Shopify's checkout pages.

Traffic but no sales on Shopify starts from Shopify's own reports, Plerdy Shopify covers the app's setup, and best heatmap tools for website compares the wider field.
