Hitsteps vs Crazy Egg
A Crazy Egg alternative that adds real analytics to click heatmaps
Crazy Egg is a heatmap and A/B testing tool. Hitsteps is a web analytics tool that includes click heatmaps, so you see where visitors click and where they came from, without running two products.
If you run split tests inside Crazy Egg, keep it for that. If your main question is "which parts of this page get clicks, and which traffic source brings those visitors?", Hitsteps answers it in one place.
