Quick thoughts on the new online service provided by Crazy Egg. I’ve been using it for about a week now. It’s another way of looking at how users interact with your site. I use Mint for my stats package; Crazyegg provides three levels of visualisation of where the majority of visitors click on your site. It’s got a great ‘killer’ feature in the heatmaps, however it definitely falls in the nice to have category, and at $19/month, it’s definitely not that nice to have. See I would actually pay money for Akismet, because it provides me with what I see as an essential service, one that would drive me insane if I didn’t have it implemented, Crazyegg doesn’t.

Why can’t people who have a killer idea and have done their jobs correctly, pay some more attention to the pricing. I do believe that it’s got some great features and it looks great, but ultimately I feel it might suffer the same problems as Feedlounge did, overestimating what the majority userbase will fork cash for.
