What makes us different?

Highlight.io is open source and transparent
Highlight.io is built with transparency at its core, with a permissive license. Not only do we work in the open, but we also expose what we're working on, on our roadmap. The fact that Highlight.io is open source also makes it easy to integrate and build your own tools on-top of it, an advantage closed-source products like Inspectlet can't offer.
Highlight.io constantly ships new features
At Highlight.io, we ship quickly. We update our changelog with a recap of new features biweekly, and we share when these features are completed in our public roadmap. Plus, our community keeps pushing us to do more, so we're constantly adding new integrations. We work hard to keep Highlight.io ahead of the curve, and we're not afraid to show off our secret sauce.
Engineers vs Marketers
Highlight and Inspectlet have two very different target audiences. While Highlight is a full-stack monitoring solution designed for monitoring web applications, Inspectlet is a tool that offers features such as heatmaps and user feedback to help marketers optimize conversion rates for their landing pages. While both tools may offer some overlapping features such as session replay, Highlight is focused on providing monitoring and error-tracking for engineers and product teams, not marketers.
Full-stack Observability
While Fullstory provides a comprehensive set of features for front-end analytics, it does not support full-stack observability. Highlight.io enables teams to monitor and optimize their entire tech stack, including server-side infrastructure and third-party services. This makes Highlight.io a more comprehensive solution for developers who need to monitor their entire tech stack, not just front-end user behavior.
Pricing
Inspectlet offers a free plan that enables users to record up to 2500 sessions per month with access to core features such as session recording, heatmaps, and form analytics. Their paid plans start at $39 per month and include additional features such as funnel analysis, conversion tracking, and error reporting.
Highlight offers a free plan that includes 500 sessions and 1,000 errors per month, with unlimited seats for all plans including the free version.
