Live views and chat, but no retention.
Lucky Orange lets you watch a visitor live and start a chat before they leave, with recordings and heatmaps on every plan. It has no retention or path report, and it does not report on AI crawlers.

Where Lucky Orange wins.
If one of these is a must-have for you, go with them.
Dynamic heatmaps
Lucky Orange records sessions and draws heatmaps that keep working on menus and pop-ups. Our replay comes with the Growth plan, and we draw no heatmaps of any kind.
Talk to visitors on the page
Live chat and surveys reach visitors while they browse, and each chat sits on the visitor’s profile next to their recordings. Nothing of ours ever appears on your page.
Frustration flagged for you
Signs like rage clicks are flagged on their own, and a Frustrated Visitors segment groups the people who hit them. Our replays mark rage clicks inside each recording you open, but nothing gathers the visitors who hit them.
At home in Shopify
Lucky Orange runs inside the Shopify admin and is certified Built for Shopify. For a Shopify store, it sits where you already work.

Every line here is a page in the product today.
Retention and journeys
Retention shows whether a segment keeps coming back, week after week. Journeys draw the routes people take through your pages. Lucky Orange groups visitors into segments, but it has no retention or path report.
Payments, not set values
Lucky Orange gives a conversion event a value you choose, or uses the Shopify order total. We read each payment from Stripe, Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy and credit it to the channels that earned it, last-touch or linear.
A free plan with room in it
Our Free plan takes 100k events a month, forever, with every feature except session replay and the AI assistant. Lucky Orange’s free plan stops tracking after 100 sessions a month.
Crawlers and your own agent
We count AI crawlers on your server, and your agent can query and build through our MCP server. Lucky Orange leaves bots for you to spot in its visitor table and block by hand.
Side by side.
We leave prices out because Lucky Orange can change theirs at any time. Ours are on the pricing page.

FAQ
Switching from Lucky Orange.
What people ask before they switch.
Can Spreelytics chat with my visitors?
No. We have no live chat and no on-page surveys. Lucky Orange has both, and it keeps each chat on the visitor’s profile next to their recordings.
If your team sells or gives support through chat, keep Lucky Orange for that and add us for the numbers.
Does Spreelytics record sessions or draw heatmaps?
We record sessions on the Growth plan, and a visit still in progress can be watched live. Each recording plays with its page views, clicks and rage clicks listed beside it. We draw no heatmaps.
Both tools have visitor profiles. What is different?
Both of us keep one profile per visitor, and both can join it to a known person when you call identify. Theirs is built for watching that visitor and talking to them.
Ours is built for counting. Each profile lists every event in order, with revenue on a buyer’s timeline. The same people then feed your funnels and retention reports.
