Frequently Asked Questions

How does Contentsquare compare with Fullstory?

Both platforms support automatic behavioral capture and Session Replay, but their free-tier limits differ materially. Contentsquare Free supports up to 200,000 monthly Experience Analytics sessions, 10,000 Session Replay captures, unlimited heatmaps, and 100 monthly survey responses, while FullstoryFree includes 30,000 sessions per month, 12 months of data retention, core Session Replay and basic analytics, and up to 10 users. Contentsquare extends into Journey Analysis, Impact Quantification, Voice of Customer, and Sense AI, while Fullstory emphasizes Fullcapture, debugging workflows, and StoryAI.

How does Contentsquare compare with Microsoft Clarity?

Microsoft Clarity is free forever with no traffic limits and includes heatmaps, session recordings, and Copilot features. Contentsquare Free supports up to 200,000 monthly Experience Analytics sessions and adds unlimited heatmaps, funnels, 100 monthly survey responses, and 5 user tests or interviews, while paid Contentsquare plans add Journey Analysis, Impact Quantification, Voice of Customer, and broader Sense AI capabilities. Clarity is the narrower unlimited-free option, while Contentsquare covers more of the research and optimization workflow.

What happens to Hotjar data when an account moves to Contentsquare?

Affected Hotjar customers receive a 30-day transition period with access to Contentsquare. If the account owner does not opt out before the deadline, the subscription switches to Contentsquare Growth, Hotjar stops collecting new data, and the Hotjar account becomes read-only for 90 days before its associated data is deleted. Historical Hotjar Observe data does not transfer to Contentsquare, while surveys and feedback data do, and existing Hotjar sites remain included as Contentsquare projects for 12 months.

How much setup does Contentsquare require on a website?

For web analytics, an admin installs the Contentsquare JavaScript tag manually, with AI assistance, through a tag manager, or through supported platforms such as Shopify or Salesforce. Smart Capture then automatically collects interactions such as clicks, scrolls, and form fills without requiring a manual event-tagging plan. Native mobile apps use separate Contentsquare SDKs for iOS and Android.

Does Contentsquare record every tracked session in Session Replay?

No. Contentsquare tracks sessions for analytics until the plan allowance is reached, but its current documentation says not every tracked session receives a Session Replay because replay collection uses a separate capture allocation. The Free plan supports up to 200,000 monthly Experience Analytics sessions and 10,000 Session Replay captures, so analytics coverage and replay availability should not be treated as the same limit.

Does Contentsquare support native mobile apps?

Yes. Contentsquare provides separate SDKs for Android and iOS, and the SDK can collect app analytics and Session Replay data including screens, taps, swipes, and other interaction context. Mobile Session Replay is sampled according to the configured collection rate, which Contentsquare says can range from 0% to 100% depending on the contract.

Can Contentsquare export raw data to a data warehouse?

Yes. The Contentsquare Data Export API can extract raw session-level or pageview-level data in CSV or JSONL files with one-time, hourly, or daily export jobs. Data Connect can also send sessions, pageviews, user signals, and other behavioral data to a customer's warehouse on a 24-hour sync cycle. Raw Data Export is not automatically enabled for every account, and Contentsquare directs customers without access to contact their CSM for activation.

Which analytics and experimentation tools integrate with Contentsquare?

Contentsquare says its ecosystem includes more than 100 integrations plus open APIs. Its documentation names Google Analytics 360 and Adobe Analytics connectors and experimentation tools including AB Tasty, Kameleoon, VWO, Optimizely, and Adobe Target, while Growth documentation also lists GA4, Mixpanel, HubSpot, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Jira, and webhooks. Availability can vary by product and plan, so the applicable integration catalog should be checked for the account being purchased.

Does Contentsquare support SAML single sign-on?

Yes, on Pro and Enterprise plans. Contentsquare documents account-level SSO using the SAML 2.0 protocol and can automatically create users without a local Contentsquare password when they first authenticate through the configured identity provider. Growth-plan buyers that require SAML SSO therefore need a higher plan.

How does Contentsquare protect personal data in Session Replay?

On the web, the Contentsquare tag automatically redacts common personal-data patterns before they leave the browser and does not collect the actual text typed into input or textarea fields. Current masking controls use Full masking as the default and let admins configure masking levels and page exceptions, while selected data can also be encrypted client-side. For mobile Session Replay, Contentsquare masks displayed UI text and images by default and provides developer-controlled masking and unmasking mechanisms.
