Frequently Asked Questions

Does Contentsquare replace Google Analytics 4?

Contentsquare generally complements Google Analytics 4 rather than replacing it. GA4 focuses on traffic, acquisition, events, and high-level performance, while Contentsquare adds automatic interaction capture, heatmaps, session replays, journey analysis, feedback, errors, and impact quantification. Contentsquare provides GA4 Events and Audiences integrations, but the two systems can report different figures because they use different session definitions, collection methods, calculations, and settings.

How does Contentsquare compare with Microsoft Clarity?

Both Contentsquare and Microsoft Clarity provide free heatmaps and session replay. Microsoft Clarity is free forever with no traffic limits, while Contentsquare Free supports 200,000 monthly sessions and one project, and Contentsquare Growth starts at $49 per month billed annually. Contentsquare adds paid capabilities such as journey analysis, product analytics, customer feedback, impact quantification, AI analysis, monitoring, and enterprise data feeds.

Is Hotjar now part of Contentsquare?

Yes. Hotjar merged into the Contentsquare Group on July 1, 2025, and its heatmaps, recordings, surveys, and feedback workflows are now available within the Contentsquare product suite. Existing Hotjar customers should check their account-specific migration, billing, tax, and legal notices because those details can vary.

Does Contentsquare require manual tagging and page mappings?

Contentsquare Smart Capture records supported clicks, scrolls, form interactions, and other behavior without requiring a tagging plan for every event. Page mappings are still used to organize URLs into meaningful page groups for journey, comparison, and zoning analysis, and client administrators can create or edit them. This reduces event-tagging work but does not eliminate configuration and governance for complex sites.

Does Contentsquare support mobile app analytics?

Yes. Contentsquare supports mobile experience analytics and session replay through SDKs for iOS and Android, with support documented for frameworks including Flutter and React Native. Teams can analyze screenviews, taps, swipes, transactions, custom variables, app versions, errors, and replay summaries, but implementation and masking require technical configuration.

How does Contentsquare handle personal data in session replays?

Contentsquare provides masking, suppression, consent, and collection controls for web and mobile session replay. Its mobile SDK masks displayed text and images by default, while administrators and technical teams can configure more specific rules or control when replay collection starts. Customers remain responsible for consent, notices, URL hygiene, identity fields, and ensuring unsupported personal data is not sent.

Can Contentsquare identify individual users?

Contentsquare normally assigns its own user identifier, which the vendor says does not itself contain personally identifiable information. Product Analytics and the User Lifecycle Extension can connect sessions across devices using a customer-supplied identifier, and separate user-identifier features can locate replays associated with a specific user. Contentsquare advises using non-direct identifiers or client-side hashing and requires customers to avoid sending unnecessary personal data.

Can Contentsquare export raw behavioral data?

Yes, where the relevant export capability is enabled. Contentsquare documents pageview-level and session-level raw exports containing user, session, page, device, geography, performance, event, and error fields, with scheduled console exports and a Raw Data API. Enterprise pricing also includes data feeds to external destinations, while aggregated analysis metrics use a separate Metrics API.

Can Contentsquare use Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics data?

Yes. Contentsquare documents integrations for Google Analytics 4 events and audiences and for Adobe Analytics segments. Those integrations let teams use external events or segments inside capabilities such as Session Replay, Journey Analysis, Page Comparator, and Zoning Analysis, although reported totals may differ because the products calculate sessions and metrics differently.

What onboarding and training does Contentsquare provide?

Contentsquare provides guided setup, help documentation, role-based learning kits, on-demand and live training, and Fundamentals certification. Pro and Enterprise customers receive dedicated implementation support, while professional-services packages can include tailored training plans, instructor-led sessions, use-case workshops, and train-the-trainer programs. The reviewed vendor material does not promise a universal completion time because setup depends on the selected products, integrations, mappings, masking, and customer organization.
