Smartlook Review

Smartlook provides session recordings, heatmaps, and event tracking for both web and mobile applications. Its mobile app recording capability is a genuine differentiator, though the web-only features face stiff competition.

Pros

  • Mobile app session recording is a real differentiator few competitors offer
  • Event-based filtering makes finding relevant recordings efficient
  • Retention tables and funnels add product analytics on top of recordings
  • Wireframe rendering mode helps with privacy compliance

Cons

  • Web-only heatmaps and recordings are less polished than Hotjar or Clarity
  • Free tier is limited to 3,000 sessions per month
  • UI can feel sluggish when filtering large recording datasets
  • Brand recognition is lower, resulting in fewer third-party integrations

Pricing

Free (3K sessions/mo) / Pro from $55/mo / Enterprise custom

Best for: Product teams building both web and mobile apps who want session recording across platforms

Our Verdict

Smartlook earns its niche with mobile app recording — if you need to watch how users interact with your native app, it is one of few options. For web-only needs, Hotjar or Clarity are stronger choices.
