Replay, errors and ads in one place
The recording, the JavaScript error, the failed request and the ad that brought the visitor, all on one screen.
GetSiteTape alternatives, compared honestly.
We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us for the wrong reasons. Here is where GetSiteTape is strong, where something else may suit you better, and what to check before you choose.
Free for 1,000 replays a month. No card needed.
Where GetSiteTape fits best.
Stores, marketing sites and small product teams who want the reason behind a drop, not another dashboard.
Ad Replay
Visits from Meta, Google, Microsoft and TikTok ads grouped by campaign and ad, so you can see what paid clicks do after they land.
Simple, local pricing
A free plan that does not expire, prices in USD, INR, GBP, AUD, and plans you can change from the dashboard at any time.
When another tool may suit you better.
No single tool is right for everyone. If one of these describes you, look at the alternative first.
You want it free, full stop
Microsoft Clarity costs nothing. If price is the only thing that matters and you are happy with Microsoft's terms for your visitors' data, start there.
You mainly want surveys
Hotjar is built around on-site surveys and feedback widgets as well as recordings. If asking visitors matters more than watching them, it is a good fit.
You run a large app with a data team
Product analytics suites such as Amplitude, Heap or FullStory are made for event analysis across big products, with the setup that comes with it.
You need full stack traces
An error monitoring tool such as Sentry gives source-mapped traces and server-side errors. GetSiteTape keeps the file and line, and shows the visit around it.
You must host it yourself
If recordings can never leave your own servers, open-source tools such as OpenReplay can be self-hosted. GetSiteTape is a hosted service.
You want live chat in the same tool
Lucky Orange puts live chat beside its recordings. GetSiteTape does not do chat, and works alongside whichever chat tool you use.

How is GetSiteTape different from Hotjar?
Both record visits and draw heatmaps. GetSiteTape puts error and network logging, Ad Replay and form analytics next to the replays, and prices its plans in USD, INR, GBP, AUD. If on-site surveys and feedback widgets matter most to you, Hotjar is built around those.
How is GetSiteTape different from Microsoft Clarity?
Clarity is free. GetSiteTape has a free plan too, and its paid plans add more replays, longer storage, funnels, form analytics, team access and support from our team.
Can I move my recordings over from another tool?
No. Recordings stay with the tool that made them. Most people run both for a week or two, then remove the old snippet once they are happy.
Can two session replay tools run on the same site?
Yes. Each has its own snippet, and they do not get in each other's way. Running two for a short comparison is fine; for good, one is enough.
Is there a contract?
No. Each payment covers one month, or one year on annual billing, and you can move to another plan from the dashboard at any time.
