Usermaven details come from its pricing page, checked 26 Oct 2026. Usermaven counts events (pageviews, clicks, form submits), Hitsteps counts pageviews, so limits are not like for like. Plans change, so check the vendor before you decide.

Where Usermaven is strong

Usermaven goes beyond a traffic dashboard: its pricing page describes website, product and ecommerce analytics, funnels, workspaces for several sites, and a white-label option for agencies (source, checked 26 Oct 2026). If your team needs to tie campaigns to revenue, that is a different job from a live website dashboard.

Try the live workflow

Create a free Hitsteps account and open the live visitor view. Your free account includes a 7-day Pro trial with no credit card. After the trial you can stay on Free, which includes the live visitor view, as long as your email is verified and your site fits Free's limits (up to 2,000 pageviews a month, 1 site), or choose a paid plan. To keep talking to visitors after the trial, choose Starter at $4.99 a month.

Hitsteps does not record or replay sessions. The live visitor view shows who is on your site now, and heatmaps show where people click.
