Quick answer
There is no universal winner here. The better choice depends on the workflow, budget and limitation you can accept.
Choose it for: Ecommerce marketers and CRO or UX teams investigating checkout, landing-page and lead-form abandonment
Starting price: Free plan; Essential from EUR25/month equivalent with annual billing, or EUR39/month monthly
Watch for: Recorded-session allowance and retention constrain the evidence available, while advanced heatmaps, surveys and journeys have plan-specific access.
Choose it for: Organisations that need detailed website measurement and a deliberate choice between managed hosting and their own infrastructure
Starting price: Free self-hosted Community; Cloud Business from EUR22/month for 50,000 hits
Watch for: Deployment choice changes the real cost: self-hosted core requires infrastructure and maintenance, while premium functionality can require paid bundles or plugins.
