Free accounts cover one site and 3,000 daily pageviews; heatmaps and uptime monitoring require Pro Plus or higher. | Source-available, not OSI open source. Optional browser tracking adds in-page signals. AI-answer monitoring uses your provider keys and paid API samples; it does not reproduce what every app user sees. No verified hosted data-region claim. |
