Moxel vs Microsoft Clarity
Clarity is free forever, and its session recordings and heatmaps are excellent. Moxel has neither. It counts what people do and tells you which field or step is losing them, so you do not have to watch recordings to find out.
THEIRS
Pick Microsoft Clarity if
- You want to watch real sessions. Nothing replaces seeing one person struggle, and Clarity shows you for free.
- You want heatmaps.
- Your budget is zero.
- You have the time to watch recordings and spot the pattern yourself.
OURS
Pick Moxel if
- You do not have an hour for recordings. You want the count: 18 people gave up on the phone field.
- You want no cookies. Clarity sets them, and for visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it needs a consent signal first. Without one, recordings and funnels can be limited.
- You would rather your visitors were not recorded at all. Moxel never films the screen and never reads what is typed.
- You want a ranked list of fixes, not footage.

The count, without the footage.
A recording shows one person. This adds up everyone who reached the form and marks where they stopped.
VISITOR
1 of 5
- Waiting for the first event.
Five visitors, three different fields. That is the pattern you would never see in a conversion rate.
NOT YET
What Moxel does not do.
- No session recordings and no heatmaps. Moxel counts what people do. It does not film the screen.
- No visitor locations. Country, region and city are not recorded.
- Returning visitors only within one week. The code that tells people apart resets every Monday, so someone who comes back next week looks new.
- No choice of hosting region, and no EU-only hosting.
- No free plan after the 30-day trial.
BOTH
Can I use Moxel and Microsoft Clarity together?
Yes, and it is a good pairing. Moxel tells you which field to look at. A few Clarity recordings of that field show you why.
