Session Recording, User Insights, Event Tracking and more!

Userships is an alternative to tools like Hotjar and FullStory, but with one big difference: The price!

Like many great side projects, Userships was built out of necessity and for internal use, by a team who is actually working on a totally different SaaS solution.

The team around serial entrepreneurs Sameera Vanekar and Ralph Vaz (snippect, AceBot, CollateBox) found the existing Session Replay solutions to be either way too pricey or only sampling User Sessions, instead of recording every single one of them.

After seeing how well it worked and how useful it was, they decided to turn it into a SaaS whit a much smaller price tag and better User Experience than their big competitors.

The beta version of Userships was launched on ProductHunt in July 2019 and quickly hit Product of the Day!

The Pricing

As mentioned before, the big differentiator between Userships and something like Hotjar is the price. So, what is it?

FREE! For up to 20.000 Sessions!

Userships has much simpler pricing than their competitors who base it on things like page views or users. You’ll get 20.000 sessions per month, unlimited seats (users from your company), 1 month of data retention and access to all the features for free.

All these powerful features are also available to Enterprises who need more than 20.000 sessions per month and Userships promises to keep the pricing lower than the competition.
