About Microsoft Clarity
Clarity is Microsoft's free CRO tool — unlimited sessions, heatmaps, rage-click and dead-click detection. Fewer bells and whistles than Hotjar but very hard to argue with free.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Truly unlimited sessions, no sampling
- Fast dashboard
- Integrates with GA4
- Rage click + dead click detection is useful
Cons
- Fewer survey / feedback features than Hotjar
- Support is thinner (community-driven)
- UI occasionally slow on massive sites
Bottom line
Should you use Microsoft Clarity?
Install it even if you have Hotjar — the price is right and the data is complementary.
