BIG fan of FullStory. Great tool for product builders.
Jordan Woods
@rrhoover Thanks, Ryan. We're BIG fans of Product Hunt, so the feeling is mutual! :)

Hello out there! There’s a new way to use FullStory: for free. Over the past few years, we’ve gotten lots of feedback from small teams and startups that love FullStory but just can’t stretch into a paid plan. We get it. Heck, we’ve been there. We started FullStory because we believe everyone—businesses, end users, everyone—benefits from a more perfect online experience. So, the idea that there were teams that really cared about their customer’s experience but couldn’t afford a CX tool that would help felt antithetical to our mission. No longer. Hope you’ll give it a try and spread the good word. We’ll be hanging around and happy to answer any questions. To the future, Scott

@scott_voigt I'm using the free version for last three days and i'm extremely impressed. Above all - your search is amazing.
Emilio Ramirez Eguia
@scott_voigt This is the best news ever! Such a useful tool but the price tag made it impossible for our small team to continue using it. Thank you! =D
Gagandeep Singh Makhija
@scott_voigt I must say its a great tool. Do you have any affiliate program also?
Ari
@scott_voigt Super cool. The only thing is that from free to paid there's a huge gap in terms of features, and price.
scott voigt
@yoav_aziz Really appreciate that Yoav! We think search is pretty special, too 😃
Sam Dickie
Looks great. Do you have a simple Weebly, Wix, Squarespace etc. plugin available?
Amy Ellis
@thisdickie hey Sam! We don't currently have a plugin for these services but FullStory is as easy to install as Google Analytics. Theres some how to documentation for Squarespace specifically on our Knowledge Base - http://help.fullstory.com/integr...

Favorite session-recording app for quite some time. Really solid product. Great to finally use it on small projects!
Jordan Woods
@futhey Thanks, James! We're excited for you to get to use it!
Graham Gnall
We have been using the paid version at Bluecore and this it's already a game changer. Will be adding to some smaller projects. Awesome!
Jordan Woods
@ggnall Awesome! We're so happy that you like it.

I haven't used Fullstory yet, but the "rage click" feature in the video is amazing, and has successfully convinced me to try it out. Well done!
Jordan Woods
@ianstormtaylor Glad you like it! We're definitely fans of the "rage click" (though not actual user rage clicks...those are bad.) :)

Used fullstory, a year ago at mymove imagitas. Our team loved it and it helped us understand our customers.
Jordan Woods
@sridhar_kondoji So glad to hear that, Sri!
Victor Manrique
Great! Love fullstory, we use it every day and it's just awesome.
Jordan Woods
@victormanriquey Thanks, Victor!
Alex Flom
Using the paid version for a while. What is the difference between the paid and the free version?
Jordan Woods
@alex_flom Hey Alex! The biggest differences between free and paid is the monthly session allotment and the available features. You can see the specific feature differences by going to www.fullstory.com/pricing and toggling between the Free and Pro editions. Regardless of which you ultimately land on, we've made sure that the Free version delivers a ton of value!
scott voigt
@alex_flom Rest assured, the essence of FullStory (hifi recording and playback, OmniSearch, segmentation, rage clicks, among other things) is available in Free. However, since Free is aimed at startups and small teams, there is a lower monthly session count, we've simplified the product by removing a few power-user features. Full comparison is available on our nifty new pricing page: https://fullstory.com/pricing. Hope that helps!

Tried this morning and already got a lot of records. Amazing product!
Jordan Woods
@bukinoshita Fantastic! Thanks so much.

The creepiest tool I used in the last year - yet it's amazing what you can learn using the funnelling and the element tracking! "All your clicks are belong to us!"
Gezim Hoxha
I totally love FullStory. We use it for our react app and it works like a charm.
Jordan Woods
@happygezim That's awesome to hear, Gezim. Thanks!
Krishan Gupta
FullStory is delightful, Incredibly useful, and well thought out. No chart will ever help me understand my users more than this.
Jordan Woods
@nowimkrishan Thanks, Krishan! Our #1 goal is to help companies develop empathy for their customers by better understanding their experience. We agree that, while useful, charts aren't the best way to develop that empathy!
Darshan Gajara
Great fan of your product, Scott. Though it was completely worth the money you charged, it sometimes felt expensive during the cost-cutting time. I'm very much sure that with this move, you'll get lots of love and new customers of course. Yup, to the better future.
AndrĂŠ Castro
We use the Pro Plan since Jan 2016 and it's really a must have for us. Great product.
Cem Kozinoglu
We were literally just looking for this kind of product, you got a new customer @scott_voigt :)
Alex West
You think you know, but you have no idea.... until you check Full Story!
Tucker Kline
This is SO amazing and helpful. Thanks a bunch Fullstory team :)
Jordan Woods
@tuckerckline Thank you for thanking us, Tucker! We hope you enjoy it.

Can anyone shed light on how it's different than Mixpanel? Do they both do the same thing in different ways?
Giovanni Hobbins
@gleamfire Hi there. FullStory actually has a powerful Mixpanel integration if you wish to use both tools in tandem (and because the tools don't really compete with each other). Mixpanel requires a lot of instrumentation in order to start collecting data but once it's up and running, the focus is on deep, highly customized analytics (funnel building, a/b tests, etc). FullStory captures all the events your customers are doing on your website or in your product so that you can search for any event (no instrumentation required), get some big picture analytics on that event (like how many people have done it, who they are, what the trend is like over time etc). Then, you can dive in and watch those customer's sessions, to see what their experience was like - where they struggled or hesitated etc. Give a try to see what I mean.
scott voigt
@gleamfire I think Amy's description above covers the gist of it ⬆️ FWIW, we see Mixpanel as an entirely different category of analytics tool. In fact, we have a number of customers that use both FullStory and Mixpanel...so much so, that we built an integration between the two platforms! https://blog.fullstory.com/for-o... Hope you'll take fullstory for a spin and let us know what you think.
Gleamfire
@giohobbins Super thanks - I'm looking for something really really easy because my startup team has no experience with mixpanel but we want better insights than google analytics. It seems that Fullstory is an easier option so I already signedup and will install the code snippets. Also there's a good thread going on over on bubble.is - which is what I'm using for our app - forum about this that would be good to hop on and clarify: https://forum.bubble.is/t/fullst...
Giovanni Hobbins
@gleamfire No problem, and thanks for the link!
Justin Dawkins
@scott_voigt Congratulations on your continued success and progress with Full Story! Definitely going to check it out and forward along to a few folks I know could use the service!
