G2 Launches New Attribute for Its Heatmap Tools Category

In this growing competitive digital world, where companies compete for user attention and time, tracking website traffic is essential for businesses to collect the necessary data to understand how visitors interact with their websites. Capturing how potential customers navigate a website has been an integral part of heatmap tools. These tools are important for usability testing to optimize websites and engage visitors.

Why Most Businesses’ Mobile Presence Failed

Digitalization is the key to success for many businesses today, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As businesses establish their online presence, many web designers and developers need to focus more on the mobile user experience rather than the desktop user experience. This is because there are more mobile web users than desktop.

Session Replay Software Discussions

Best Software for Recording and Replaying User Sessions on Desktop and Mobile

I want to start a discussion about session recording tools—specifically those that can capture and replay user interactions across both desktop and mobile environments. These platforms are widely used to diagnose usability issues, understand user journeys, and optimize digital experiences.

These five are currently top-reviewed in G2’s Session Replay Software category:

UXCam

UXCam is purpose-built for mobile apps. It offers touch heatmaps, screen recordings, and crash analytics, all optimized for mobile interfaces. It supports key app-specific insights like gesture tracking and session flows, making it useful for mobile product teams looking to improve retention and UX.

Mouseflow

Mouseflow supports both web and mobile sessions, with features like funnel tracking, form analytics, and heatmaps. One unique aspect is its ability to auto-detect user frustration patterns, such as click rage or rapid navigation changes.

FullStory

FullStory provides session replay for both desktop and mobile, with advanced filtering, event-based analytics, and a searchable user activity timeline. It captures detailed behavioral data and allows teams to segment user types or paths with precision.

Glassbox

Glassbox is strong in cross-platform session recording, offering pixel-perfect replays along with digital journey mapping and compliance tools. It’s designed for enterprises that need high data fidelity across mobile and desktop applications.

Hotjar

Hotjar is known for ease of use and fast setup. It provides session recordings, scroll depth tracking, and user feedback widgets. While it primarily focuses on desktop experiences, it does support mobile views and responsive layouts.

If you’ve used any of these tools to monitor cross-device behavior, how did they perform? Were there any limitations with mobile tracking or playback accuracy?

How well does UXCam handle session recording for mobile-heavy apps with gesture-based navigation?

Answered: Bhoomika Pawar on June 16, 2025

Our team recently moved from Hotjar to Rejourney. Hotjar was becoming too cluttered, messy, and very expensive. We considered Post Hog, but it required too much customization to setup the dashboard, and the platform was also sprawling. They charged for every little thing too. It was unpredictable and our bill skyrocketed on accident the first two weeks. Rejourney turns out to be about 84% cheaper for us because they don't charge for events, active users, logs, errors, etc. They only charge for session replay volume, and even if you hit the quota for the replays that month, all the other normal analytics still work (in other words on the replays pause). There is however a lack of customization of the dashboard, but that is I think by design to keep it simple.

Question on: Lucky Orange

Is there a mobile app?

I think Mobile app that will allow to reply to chat messages from mobile is missing.

I would love to be able to have lucky orange as a mobile app so I can track my store when I'm not around my computer.

Answered: Sheila Correa on March 21, 2023

This is a great suggestion, and I’ve shared it with our development team. In the meantime, have you tried our new app? We released a new and improved Lucky Orange last year that’s mobile friendly. You can chat with visitors, check your dashboard and more all from the palm of your hand. Try it out and let us know what you think!
