Mouseflow

Friction scoring and form analytics for people who fix pages

Mouseflow is a European behaviour analytics platform for websites, combining session replay, six kinds of heatmap, automatic friction scoring, form field analytics, funnels, journey analytics, and feedback surveys, priced on recorded sessions from a free 500-session tier up to $319 a month for 100,000 sessions; it is headquartered in Copenhagen with EU data processing and masks personal data before collection.

Overview

Mouseflow occupies the position Hotjar used to hold before Contentsquare absorbed it: a hosted, affordable, marketer-facing behaviour analytics tool that shows you what visitors did on a page and why they gave up. Founded in Copenhagen in 2009 and now used by more than 210,000 teams, it has been doing this for sixteen years, which in a category that has lost Hotjar, Heap, and Smartlook to acquirers in the last few years makes it one of the few independent survivors selling to small businesses.

The product's distinguishing feature is friction scoring. Rather than making you watch recordings until a pattern emerges, Mouseflow automatically scores sessions from unhappy to happy based on behavioural signals, so the recording list is ranked by how badly it went for the user. Around that sit six heatmap types including movement and attention maps with split-view comparison, form analytics that identify which specific field causes abandonment, journey analytics, funnels with revenue attribution, and feedback surveys. Mina AI answers questions about behaviour conversationally, and an MCP server exposes the data to AI assistants.

The commercial shape is friendly to small businesses in a way most of this category is not. There is a genuinely free tier at 500 sessions a month, Essential is $25 a month for 5,000 sessions, Advanced is $109 for 25,000, and Premium is $319 for 100,000. Crucially, data retention rises with the plan, from one month on Free to twelve months on Premium, which is the longest retention window available at anything like this price and a decisive advantage over Microsoft Clarity's fixed 30 days.

Two things to weigh. First, the European posture is real: Mouseflow is Danish, processes data in EU data centres, masks all personal data before collection, masks IP addresses for EU visitors, and does not record keystrokes for EU visitors at all unless non-personal fields are explicitly whitelisted. Second, the website limits are tight. Essential covers one website with one funnel, Advanced covers two websites with five funnels, and Premium covers five, which means an agency or a company with several properties climbs the price ladder for reasons that have nothing to do with traffic.

Best for

Marketing, ecommerce, and conversion optimisation teams at small and mid-sized businesses who need to find and fix the specific page, form, or funnel step losing them money, and who value European data processing and a retention window measured in months rather than days.

Not the right fit for

  • Engineering teams debugging frontend failures; there is no console output, no network inspection, no stack traces, and no application state, so LogRocket or OpenReplay are the tools for that job.
  • Product teams needing event-based analytics on a logged-in application; Mouseflow has no behavioural cohorts, no retention curves, and no experimentation, and Mixpanel, Amplitude, or PostHog are the right shape.
  • Agencies and multi-property businesses on a small budget; website limits of one, two, and five sites by plan mean the price ladder is climbed for property count rather than for traffic, and Microsoft Clarity gives unlimited projects for nothing.
  • High-traffic consumer sites; session-based billing means 100,000 sessions costs $319 a month and everything above that is an Enterprise conversation, where a free tool with no traffic limit would cover the same visibility.
  • Teams who want the data in their own infrastructure; Mouseflow is hosted only, with no self-hosted or open source edition, so a hard data ownership requirement points to Matomo or OpenReplay.

How it works

  1. 1

    You add a JavaScript tracking snippet to your site, directly or through a tag manager or a platform integration such as Shopify or WordPress. Mouseflow begins recording sessions immediately, and by default personal data is masked before it is collected rather than after it arrives.

  2. 2

    Every recorded session is scored for friction. Signals such as rage clicks, erratic movement, hesitation, and abandonment produce a rating from unhappy to happy, which becomes the primary way you navigate the recording list. Instead of watching sessions at random, you watch the worst ones first, which is the difference between a tool that gets used and a tool that gets installed and forgotten.

  3. 3

    Aggregate views are generated from the same data. Six heatmap types cover clicks, scrolls, movement, attention, geography, and live behaviour, with a split view for comparing two heatmaps against each other, which is how you evaluate a design change without running a formal test. Form analytics reports per field on hesitation, refills, and drop-off. Funnels report conversion by step with revenue attached, and journey analytics shows the paths people actually take.

  4. 4

    Feedback surveys can be targeted at specific audiences to gather the qualitative half of the answer, and Mina AI answers questions about the collected behaviour conversationally rather than requiring you to build the right filter. A REST API and an MCP server expose the data outward for custom reporting and for AI assistants. Retention is a plan attribute, running from one month on the free tier to twelve months on Premium.

Feature breakdown

26 features in 5 modules

Session replay and friction detection

The core loop: record everything, rank by how badly it went.
Session replay
Full playback of user sessions including clicks, scrolls, movement, and form interaction, with filtering by device, source, geography, page, behaviour, and custom variables you pass from your own site.
Friction scoring
Sessions are automatically scored from unhappy to happy based on behavioural signals, so the recording list is ranked by severity rather than by recency. This is the feature that makes a large volume of recordings actually usable.
Rage click and erratic movement detection
Repeated frustrated clicking and disoriented pointer movement are detected without configuration and surfaced as filters, which is the fastest route to finding an element that looks interactive and is not.
Custom variables and tagging
Pass your own identifiers and attributes from the page so recordings can be filtered by customer, plan, cart value, or campaign rather than only by technical attributes.
Mina AI
Ask questions about user behaviour conversationally and get answers from the collected sessions, lowering the skill floor for anyone who can see the data but does not know which filter to build.

Heatmaps and page analysis

Six map types, and a split view that most competitors do not offer.
Click heatmaps
Aggregate click density per page showing which elements attract attention, including the ones that are not clickable and therefore frustrate people.
Scroll heatmaps
Where visitors stop scrolling, which routinely reveals that the call to action sits below the point most of the audience abandons the page.
Movement and attention heatmaps
Pointer movement as a proxy for gaze, and aggregated attention across page regions, useful for layout decisions where per-element click data is too granular.
Geography and live heatmaps
Behaviour segmented by visitor location, and live views of current activity, which suits campaign launches and sale days where you want to see reactions as they happen.
Split-view heatmap comparison
Two heatmaps compared side by side, so a design change or a segment difference can be assessed visually without setting up a formal experiment. Genuinely uncommon at this price.

Conversion analysis

Where the money is actually lost, at field and step level.
Form analytics
Per-field reporting on time spent, hesitation, refills, blank submissions, and abandonment, which identifies the exact input that costs you leads. The strongest feature in the product and the reason many teams choose it over free alternatives.
Conversion funnels
Predefined multi-step funnels with drop-off by step and revenue insight attached, and the ability to open the recordings behind any drop-off.
Journey analytics
Step by step path analysis across the site showing the routes visitors take and where they leave, including the routes nobody designed.
Feedback surveys
Custom interactive surveys targeted at specific audiences, so the qualitative why sits next to the quantitative what rather than in a separate tool.
Funnel limits by plan
One funnel on Free and Essential, five on Advanced, ten on Premium, and custom on Enterprise, which is a real constraint for a site with several conversion paths to monitor.

Privacy and European data handling

Built in Denmark, and it shows.
Personal data masked before collection
Mouseflow states that personal data is masked prior to being collected rather than filtered after arrival, on the reasoning that it does not need personal data to provide behaviour analytics.
No keystroke recording for EU visitors
Keystrokes are not tracked for EU visitors at all, with non-personal fields whitelistable if you need them. This is a stricter default than most competitors apply.
IP masking for EU visitors
All IP addresses within the EU are masked, which removes one of the most common objections raised against session recording under GDPR.
EU data processing
Data is processed in EU infrastructure, with a European data centre in Amsterdam, and the company is headquartered in Copenhagen, so the contracting entity and the processing are both European.
Element exclusion and replacement
Specific HTML elements can be excluded from recording or have their content replaced, giving precise control over anything the automatic masking would not catch.
Certified data centres
Mouseflow's data centres are ISO 27001 and SOC 1 Type II certified with PCI DSS compliance, and the company states compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD.

Data access and integrations

Getting behaviour data into the rest of your stack.
REST API
Programmatic access to recordings, heatmap data, and analytics for custom reporting and internal tooling, available on higher tiers.
MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server exposing Mouseflow data to AI assistants, so behavioural questions can be asked from Claude or another assistant rather than only in the Mouseflow console.
Analytics and testing integrations
Connections to Google Analytics, A/B testing tools, and tag managers so a segment identified elsewhere can be opened as the corresponding Mouseflow recordings.
Ecommerce and CMS platform integrations
Installation through Shopify, WordPress, and similar platforms without touching code, which matters because the buyer is often the person who runs the store rather than a developer.
Retention by plan up to twelve months
One month on Free, three on Essential, six on Advanced, and twelve on Premium, which is the longest history available at this price point in the category by a wide margin.

Use cases

4 documented

Ecommerce manager losing checkout conversions

Cart abandonment is high, the checkout has eleven fields, and nobody knows which one is the problem.

Form analytics shows the phone number field has a 34 percent abandonment rate and the highest refill count on the page. It becomes optional, and abandonment drops without a redesign.

Conversion optimisation specialist

The team has a backlog of landing page hypotheses and no evidence to prioritise them with.

Friction scoring surfaces the worst sessions first, split-view heatmaps compare the old and new layouts directly, and the backlog is reordered by measured pain rather than by opinion.

European small business with a data protection officer

The DPO has already rejected one session recording tool over United States data transfer and keystroke capture.

Mouseflow's EU processing, IP masking, absence of keystroke recording for EU visitors, and masking of personal data before collection clear the review, and the marketing team finally gets recordings.

SaaS marketing team on the pricing page

Traffic to the pricing page is strong, trial signups are not, and analytics can only confirm the drop rather than explain it.

Scroll heatmaps show most visitors never reach the comparison table, journey analytics shows a loop back to the features page, and a targeted feedback survey confirms the plans are not understood.

Pricing

from $0 (Free, 500 sessions per month), then $25 per month (Essential)

Subscription metered on sessions recorded per month, with website count, funnel count, and data retention all tiered by plan. Free through Premium are self-serve; Enterprise is quoted.

PlanPriceIncludes
Free$0
per month
  • 500 sessions per month
  • 1 website and 1 conversion funnel
  • 1 month of data retention
  • Session replay and heatmaps
  • No credit card required

Enough to evaluate the product properly on a low-traffic site, not enough to operate on.

Essential$25
per month
  • 5,000 sessions per month
  • 1 website and 1 conversion funnel
  • 3 months of data retention
  • Session replays, heatmaps, friction detection, form analytics, and feedback surveys

Carries a 14 day money-back guarantee rather than a trial. The cheapest serious behaviour analytics subscription in this batch.

Advanced$109
per month
  • 25,000 sessions per month
  • 2 websites and 5 conversion funnels
  • 6 months of data retention
  • Friction insights and attention heatmaps
  • 14 day free trial

The most commonly chosen tier, and the first one where funnel and website limits stop being immediately restrictive.

Premium$319
per month
  • 100,000 sessions per month
  • 5 websites and 10 conversion funnels
  • 12 months of data retention
  • API access
  • 14 day free trial

Twelve month retention is the longest available at anything near this price and is the main reason to choose Mouseflow over a free alternative.

EnterpriseQuoted
annual contract
  • Custom session volumes
  • Custom website and funnel counts
  • Custom data retention
  • Priority support and onboarding

Add-ons

  • Additional websites (Effectively a plan upgrade): Website count is a plan attribute at one, two, and five sites, so a third property forces the jump from $109 to $319 regardless of traffic. This is the most common reason a Mouseflow bill rises.
  • Extended data retention (Effectively a plan upgrade, or custom on Enterprise): Retention runs one, three, six, and twelve months by tier, so the history you want dictates the plan as much as the traffic you have.

Billing notes

  • The meter is sessions recorded per month, so cost tracks traffic. A site with 100,000 sessions a month sits at $319, and anything above that is an Enterprise conversation.
  • Three separate limits move with the plan: sessions, websites, and funnels. Small businesses are commonly forced up a tier by website count or funnel count rather than by traffic, which is worth modelling before you buy.
  • Data retention is the most consequential plan attribute. One month on Free, three on Essential, six on Advanced, and twelve on Premium, which is the specific thing you are paying for relative to Microsoft Clarity's free but fixed 30 days.
  • Advanced and Premium include a 14 day free trial, while Essential is covered by a 14 day money-back guarantee instead, so evaluate on a higher tier and downgrade rather than starting at the bottom.
  • API access is a Premium feature, so teams wanting to pull behaviour data into their own reporting cannot do it on the $109 tier.
  • Enterprise pricing is quoted, so the published ladder tops out at $319 and everything beyond that requires a conversation.

Value assessment: Mouseflow is priced for the small business it targets, and its value hinges almost entirely on retention and form analytics, because those are the two things Microsoft Clarity gives you nothing of and charges nothing for. At 10,000 monthly users generating perhaps 20,000 to 25,000 sessions, Advanced at $109 a month buys six months of history, five funnels, and per-field form analysis, which is a reasonable price for a tool that will find a broken form in week one. At 100,000 monthly users you are at roughly 250,000 sessions, well past Premium's 100,000, so you are negotiating an Enterprise contract for something a free tool would cover at lower depth. The sweet spot is a business with meaningful conversion value per visitor and modest traffic, where one fixed form field pays for a year of subscription. On a high-traffic, low-value-per-visit site the arithmetic stops working and Clarity is the rational choice.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths

  • Friction scoring ranks sessions by how badly they went, which converts a large recording archive from a time sink into a prioritised worklist.
  • Form analytics at field level is the best-executed feature in the product and finds revenue problems that no aggregate analytics tool can surface.
  • Data retention up to twelve months on Premium, far longer than Microsoft Clarity's fixed 30 days and longer than most competitors offer at any comparable price.
  • Six heatmap types including movement and attention, with split-view comparison for evaluating a change without setting up a formal test.
  • Strong European privacy posture: Copenhagen headquarters, EU data processing with an Amsterdam data centre, personal data masked before collection, IP masking and no keystroke recording for EU visitors.
  • ISO 27001 and SOC 1 Type II certified data centres with PCI DSS compliance, and stated GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD compliance.
  • A real free tier and a $25 entry plan, which makes it accessible to businesses that cannot justify a three-figure monthly analytics subscription.
  • Independent and sixteen years old, in a category where Hotjar, Heap, and Smartlook have all been absorbed or shut down by larger owners.

Limitations

  • Website limits of one, two, and five by plan are restrictive, and multi-property businesses and agencies climb the price ladder for reasons unrelated to traffic.
  • Funnel limits are similarly tight, at one on Essential and five on Advanced, which constrains a site with several conversion paths worth monitoring.
  • No engineering context in recordings: no console output, no network inspection, no stack traces, and no application state, so it cannot support debugging.
  • No event-based product analytics, no behavioural cohorts, no retention analysis, and no experimentation, so it cannot serve as the analytics tool for a SaaS application.
  • Session-based billing tops out at 100,000 sessions on the published ladder, so a high-traffic site is immediately into a quoted Enterprise contract.
  • API access is reserved for Premium at $319 a month, which is a high bar for what is often a basic reporting requirement.
  • Hosted only, with no self-hosted or open source option, so a hard data ownership requirement cannot be met.
  • Private-equity ownership since 2018 brings the usual dynamics: predictable operation, and a business under pressure to expand revenue per customer rather than to give more away.

Head-to-head comparisons

4 alternatives

Mouseflow vs Microsoft Clarity

from $0

The decisive comparison for most buyers, because Clarity is free at unlimited traffic with unlimited projects and does the same broad job. What Mouseflow charges for is retention beyond 30 days, per-field form analytics, split-view heatmap comparison, EU data processing, and an API. If those five things do not matter to you, install Clarity and save the money. If your forms are where your revenue leaks, or your DPO will not approve sending data to Microsoft, Mouseflow earns its price.

Full Mouseflow vs Microsoft Clarity comparison

Mouseflow vs LogRocket

from $0 (Free, 1,000 sessions per month), Core from around $176 per month at 25,000 sessions

Different audiences entirely. Mouseflow is for a marketer improving a page, from $25 a month, with heatmaps, form analytics, and friction scoring. LogRocket is for an engineer fixing software, from around $176 a month, with console output, network inspection, and Redux state. Neither replaces the other, and a software company with both a marketing site and a product application has a legitimate case for running both.

Full Mouseflow vs LogRocket comparison

Mouseflow vs OpenReplay

from $0 self-hosted, or $199 per month for a managed Dedicated instance

Both record sessions, but OpenReplay is open source, self-hostable, developer-focused, and priced per instance at $199 a month or free on your own infrastructure, while Mouseflow is hosted, marketer-focused, and priced per session from $25. Choose OpenReplay if engineers are the users and data must stay in your infrastructure; choose Mouseflow if a marketing or ecommerce team is the user and nobody wants to run a Kubernetes cluster.

Full Mouseflow vs OpenReplay comparison

Mouseflow vs Matomo

from Free self-hosted (Community edition), or 29 euros per month for Matomo Cloud at 50,000 hits

Both are European and privacy-conscious, but Matomo bundles full web analytics with its heatmaps and session recording and can be self-hosted for free, while Mouseflow is a focused hosted conversion tool with sharper friction scoring and form analytics. Take Matomo if you also want to replace Google Analytics, need data ownership, or want to run without a consent banner under the CNIL exemption; take Mouseflow if you already have analytics and want the best behavioural layer to sit beside it.

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time
Fifteen minutes. Add the tracking snippet directly, through a tag manager, or through a platform integration, and recordings begin. Heatmaps become meaningful after a day or two of traffic accumulates.
Learning curve
Low. The product is designed for marketers rather than analysts, friction scoring means the tool tells you where to look rather than requiring you to know, and Mina AI answers questions in conversation. Form analytics is the one area worth reading the documentation on, because interpreting refill and hesitation metrics correctly is not obvious.
Onboarding
Entirely self-serve through Premium, with a 14 day trial on Advanced and Premium and a money-back guarantee on Essential. Enterprise contracts include priority onboarding. No sales call is required at any published tier.
Migration notes
Recordings do not transfer between vendors, so coming from another tool means running both in parallel and cutting over. Mouseflow is a common destination for teams displaced by the Hotjar move into Contentsquare and by Smartlook's shutdown, whose end of sale came in May 2026 with full decommissioning scheduled for 2027. Existing heatmap and funnel definitions have to be recreated by hand, which is a short afternoon rather than a project.

Platform, API & security

Platforms

API
REST API for recordings, heatmap, and analytics data on the Premium tier and above, plus an MCP server exposing Mouseflow data to AI assistants and Mina AI for conversational analysis inside the product.
Compliance

Data residency
European data processing with a data centre in Amsterdam and company operations in Copenhagen, so both the contracting entity and the processing infrastructure are European.
SSO
Available on Enterprise arrangements; standard email authentication and team user management on published tiers.
Security notes
Personal data is masked before collection rather than filtered afterwards. IP addresses are masked for all EU visitors, keystrokes are not recorded for EU visitors unless non-personal fields are explicitly whitelisted, and specific HTML elements can be excluded or have their content replaced. Data retention is a plan attribute running from one to twelve months.

Support & resources

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

What is Mouseflow?

Mouseflow is a website behaviour analytics platform. It records visitor sessions, generates six types of heatmap, automatically scores sessions for friction from unhappy to happy, analyses form fields to find where people abandon, tracks funnels and user journeys, and collects feedback through targeted surveys. It is headquartered in Copenhagen and processes data in the EU.

How much does Mouseflow cost?

There is a free plan with 500 sessions a month, one website, one funnel, and one month of retention. Essential is $25 a month for 5,000 sessions with three months of retention, Advanced is $109 for 25,000 sessions with six months, and Premium is $319 for 100,000 sessions with twelve months and API access. Enterprise is quoted. Advanced and Premium include a 14 day trial; Essential has a 14 day money-back guarantee.

Why pay for Mouseflow when Microsoft Clarity is free?

Five reasons, and if none apply to you then Clarity is the correct choice. Mouseflow gives up to twelve months of data retention against Clarity's fixed 30 days; per-field form analytics, which Clarity does not have; split-view heatmap comparison; EU data processing with personal data masked before collection; and an API. If your revenue depends on a form, or your data protection officer will not approve Microsoft, that list is worth $109 a month. If you just want to see rage clicks on a landing page, it is not.

What exactly does Mouseflow bill on?

Sessions recorded per month, but three limits move together with the plan: sessions, number of websites, and number of funnels. Small businesses are as often pushed up a tier by adding a second or third website as by traffic growth, since Essential covers one site, Advanced two, and Premium five. Model all three limits before choosing a plan.

Is Mouseflow GDPR compliant?

Mouseflow states compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD, and its posture is stronger than most competitors by default. Personal data is masked before it is collected rather than filtered after arrival, IP addresses are masked for all EU visitors, and keystrokes are not recorded for EU visitors at all unless you explicitly whitelist non-personal fields. Data is processed in EU infrastructure including a data centre in Amsterdam, and the data centres are ISO 27001 and SOC 1 Type II certified with PCI DSS compliance. You are still responsible for your own consent handling.

What is friction scoring and does it actually help?

Mouseflow scores every recorded session from unhappy to happy based on behavioural signals such as rage clicks, erratic movement, hesitation, and abandonment, then lets you sort the recording list by that score. It helps considerably, because the failure mode of every session replay tool is that nobody watches the recordings. Ranking by measured frustration means the first three sessions you open are the ones that went wrong, which is the difference between a tool used weekly and a tool installed and forgotten.

Can I use Mouseflow to debug my web application?

No. There is no console output, no network request inspection, no stack traces, and no application state capture. Mouseflow shows what the user did, not what the code did. If your requirement is reproducing a frontend bug, LogRocket or OpenReplay are the tools, and Mouseflow will frustrate an engineer who expects devtools in a replay.

How long does Mouseflow keep my data?

It depends entirely on your plan: one month on Free, three months on Essential, six months on Advanced, and twelve months on Premium, with custom retention on Enterprise. Retention is arguably the main thing you are buying as you climb the ladder, and it is the single clearest advantage over free alternatives that cap history at 30 days regardless of what you would pay.

Who owns Mouseflow?

Mouseflow was founded in Copenhagen in 2009 and operated independently until July 2018, when it was acquired by Danish investment firm Offspring Capital. It employs roughly 60 people, more than half in Copenhagen with the rest across Europe, North America, and Asia, and serves more than 210,000 teams. It is one of the few independent hosted behaviour analytics vendors left after Hotjar's absorption into Contentsquare and Smartlook's shutdown.

Is Mouseflow a good fit for an agency?

Only if the agency is small or willing to pay. Website limits are one site on Essential, two on Advanced, and five on Premium, so a portfolio of fifteen client sites means an Enterprise conversation. Microsoft Clarity's unlimited free projects are structurally better suited to agency work, and the pragmatic pattern is Clarity across the portfolio with Mouseflow reserved for the clients whose form and funnel optimisation actually pays for it.

Editorial verdict

Mouseflow is the best paid answer for a small business whose revenue depends on a page working properly. Friction scoring means the recordings actually get watched, form analytics finds the specific field bleeding leads, and retention up to twelve months answers questions a 30 day tool cannot. The European privacy posture is genuine rather than marketing: personal data masked before collection, no keystroke recording for EU visitors, EU processing, certified data centres. Buy it at $109 a month if you have one or two properties, meaningful value per conversion, and a form or funnel worth fixing. Skip it if Microsoft Clarity's free unlimited recording covers your questions, if you manage many websites, or if your traffic is high and your value per visit is low, because the session meter and the website limits are where this product stops being cheap.
