Mouseflow alternative: recordings, heatmaps and what to change
Mouseflow's home page names visit recordings (session replay), website heatmaps, funnels, form analytics and feedback surveys, and says the recording rate is 100 percent.[1] Convertlyft records every visit to one website and says what to change, with funnels, heatmaps, errors and page speed beside it. It does not run surveys.

What Convertlyft does differently
It says what to change
Every Monday, What to do ranks to-dos from the last 7 complete days in one list, each with its counts and one change to make where there is one. Show me opens it.
Errors and speed beside the visits
Errors are grouped into issues, and page speed comes from real visitors. For an error in your own code, copy the write-up for your developer, or let the AI app you connect read it and propose the change.
SEO and analytics in one
Rank tracking, a site audit by our own crawler, and your Search Console searches beside your visits. The free SEO audit reads up to 16 of your pages with no account. For a search you want to win, Convertlyft writes an SEO content brief from the live Google results.
When Mouseflow is the better choice
Stay with Mouseflow if you ask people questions on the page: its home page names feedback surveys.[1] Stay if you want form analytics as its own report: its home page names that too.[1] Convertlyft has no surveys. A form left is one reason it records a visit, with the rest of what the visitor did.
And if your team already knows Mouseflow and the reports you read today answer your questions, moving costs you time for little gain. Convertlyft does a narrower job: one website, read daily, with what to change.
Trying it, in four steps
- Start free and give your site's address. We look at its homepage to see what it is built with, such as Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Next.js or a tag manager, and show the steps for it. On WordPress you can install the Convertlyft plugin from WordPress.org instead: it adds the tag, and its one setting is your site key.
- Paste one line before
</head>. You do not have to remove the Mouseflow code first, so you can compare the two for a while. - On Home, press “on site now”: the people on your site now, refreshed every 10 seconds. That is the check that the line works.
- Your main funnel is set up for you from your site’s type. To count different steps, add your own funnel, up to 6 steps. Your first day is read the next morning and kept under Settings › Email updates; the Monday report follows on Monday.

Questions
Does Convertlyft record every visit?
Yes. Every visit is recorded on every plan, short ones too (up to a safety limit of 50,000 new recordings per site per day), and reports and funnels count every visit. A site can turn it down in Settings (Record every visit), and then only the visits that matter are recorded: an error, a rage or dead click, a form left, or a key page such as checkout or contact.
How long does Convertlyft keep recordings?
Replays are kept 90 days and what visitors did 24 months, on every plan. Typed values are always hidden, and email addresses, phone numbers and payment card numbers shown on the page are masked.
Does Convertlyft run surveys?
No. Convertlyft reads what people do on your site. It does not ask them questions.
Can I run Convertlyft next to Mouseflow while I compare?
Yes. Convertlyft's line does not need the Mouseflow tag removed, so both can run while you compare what each one shows you.
What does Convertlyft cost?
Start free. No card needed. The plans and what each one includes are on the pricing page.
