With insight coming from Heap we adapted our product merchandising strategy — and in some markets we have achieved over 30% increase in new customer conversions. Gaining a fraction of that detail of information would have taken hours, if not days, of work in Google Analytics. With Heap, we got granular detail in a matter of minutes.

A faster route to better insights

See why companies choose Heap over Google Analytics

  • “While Heap is more expensive than the free version of Google Analytics, we find that the cost is well worth it for the unlocked insights it provides to our Product Management and Analytics teams so they can regularly modify tracking and build reporting.”

    Kate MacCabe
    VP of Product

  • “Google Analytics was a poor fit for us. We were turning over our codebase once every ~7 months, so instrumentation was always an afterthought. We struggled to add it to our product specs in the early days.”

    Dave Lee
    VP of Engineering
