See what users actually do
Watch real user sessions to understand the why behind your metrics. Spot frustration, tie errors to UX, and measure engagement across every page.
Use Session Replay when you need to see how individual users experienced your product. To quantify behavior across many users, use Analytics. To see aggregate clicks and scrolls on a page, use Heatmaps.
