Different Scales

Contentsquare serves large brands with high traffic, many teams, and formal procurement. Its portfolio has grown through acquisitions, including Hotjar and Heap, to cover experience analytics, product analytics, and voice of customer.

DeepSync serves startups, growing SaaS companies, online stores, and agencies. It concentrates on the capabilities most teams use every week and makes them available without a contract.

Time to Value

With DeepSync you create a project, paste one tag, and see sessions within minutes (quickstart). There is no implementation project.

Enterprise platforms usually involve a sales cycle, security review, a contract, and an onboarding plan. That is appropriate for an organisation with hundreds of users and strict governance. It is a poor fit for a team that needs an answer this week.

Where Contentsquare Is Stronger

• Breadth. A wide suite covering many analytical needs across large organisations.
• Scale. Built for very high traffic and many concurrent users.
• Enterprise governance. Controls, certifications, and integrations that large companies require.
• Services. Onboarding and ongoing expert support.
• Advanced merchandising and content analysis for large retail sites.

Where DeepSync Is Stronger

• Access. A free plan with 1,000 sessions a month and Pro at ₹1,999 a month.
• Predictability. No sampling on any plan and no overage charges; recording pauses at the cap.
• Simplicity. One script, and non-specialists can use it.
• Engineering use. Replays with the console and network timeline, and errors ranked by affected sessions.
• Grounded AI. Pulse computes findings with deterministic detectors and uses a model only to narrate them, with links to evidence (how it works).
• Mobile frameworks. React Native and Flutter SDKs on the same session model.
