Contentsquare — A UX analytics platform with session replay, heatmaps, and AI-surfaced friction insights — showing why users drop off, not just that they did. Here's the fastest sensible path from signup to real value.
Getting started, step by step
- Step 1. Install the tag (or via GTM) and let it collect for at least a week before judging
- Step 2. Start with the frustration signals dashboard — rage clicks and dead clicks find bugs faster than replays
- Step 3. Watch replays only for sessions flagged with friction, not randomly
- Step 4. Set up a funnel on your signup or checkout flow to see the exact drop step
- Step 5. Share replay links directly in tickets — a 20-second clip beats a paragraph of bug description
One mistake to avoid
Serious value needs traffic volume — on a low-traffic site the AI insights have little to learn from.
Cost to expect
Free plan exists for smaller sites; Growth starts around $40/mo; Pro/Enterprise custom-quoted.
