Heap Review
Heap auto-captures every user interaction by default, which means you never lose data because you forgot to instrument an event. This "capture everything, define later" approach is genuinely useful but creates its own challenges around data volume and cost.
Pros
- Auto-capture means no events are missed — retroactive analysis is a real superpower
- Visual event definition lets non-engineers create events without code
- Session replay integration adds qualitative context to quantitative data
- Effort analysis surfaces friction points automatically
Cons
- Auto-capture generates enormous data volumes that inflate costs
- Data can feel noisy — you still need to curate meaningful events
- Pricing is opaque and tends to be expensive at scale
- Query performance slows down with very large datasets

Our Verdict
Heap solves a real problem — the regret of not tracking something. Auto-capture is a genuine differentiator. But the tradeoff is data volume and cost. Best for teams who value completeness over curation.
