If you want to examine how people use a website or app, session recording software lets you review recorded activity alongside analytics. Compare friction signals and funnel analysis, and check whether mobile app capture covers the journeys you want to understand. Monthly session limits and recording retention help show how much activity you can review and keep; privacy controls, free plans, and paid-from prices add practical context. Fullstory, OpenReplay, and Replayfy are among the entries to consider, along with UXCam and Zipy. Weigh the listed features against the kinds of user journeys you need to review and the amount of recording that suits your work.
