Heap is known for autocapture — recording every interaction so you can analyze events retroactively. It's powerful for product teams, but it uses cookies, isn't privacy-first, and is oriented around event analysis rather than watching real sessions. VisitVerity focuses on understanding website behavior cookielessly, with masked session replay and heatmaps that show you what actually happened.
Why teams switch from Heap
No cookies, IPs hashed, no cross-site tracking and no consent banner — privacy by default.
Masked session replay and heatmaps let you see rage clicks and drop-off directly, not just query an event stream.
Traffic, sources, conversions, and funnels in a clean dashboard built for understanding your site.
An explainable traffic-quality engine filters bots and automation with reasons you can audit.

Questions about switching

Is VisitVerity more private than Heap?
Yes by default — it's cookieless, hashes IPs, needs no consent banner, and masks inputs in the browser before capture.
Does it capture events automatically?
It captures key page and interaction events out of the box and supports custom events when you need them, alongside masked replay and heatmaps that show the actual session.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — the Free plan is free forever with no credit card: 1 project, 10,000 events per month, and 7-day retention.
