Heap captures every user interaction (clicks, scrolls, form submissions) automatically via JavaScript. You don't instrument events, Heap records everything, then you define events retroactively. Used by product teams to understand user behavior without dev overhead. Key differentiator: retroactive event definition (no code changes needed). Takes 2 weeks to master. Sits between Google Analytics (marketing-focused) and custom instrumentation (engineering-heavy) as the product analytics middle ground.

What is Heap Product Analytics

Heap is a product analytics platform that automatically captures every user interaction (clicks, form submissions, scrolls, page views) without requiring manual event instrumentation. You add a JavaScript snippet to your site, and Heap records everything. Then you define events in the Heap UI, retroactively, without code changes. Unlike Google Analytics (marketing-focused) or Amplitude (heavy instrumentation), Heap's automatic capture means you never miss data due to incomplete instrumentation. Every interaction is a potential event; you decide which ones matter.

❓ FAQ

▶Is Heap automatic event tracking accurate?
Yes. Heap captures all interactions. Because it records everything, you get complete data. Trade-off: you need to filter/define what matters in Heap UI, not via code.
▶Do I need to code event instrumentation?
No. That's Heap's main value. Add the Heap script, and all interactions are recorded. No need to sprinkle event calls throughout your code.
▶Can I define events after the fact?
Yes. Heap records historical data. You can define new events retroactively and analyze past behavior without re-instrumenting.
▶Does Heap work for mobile apps?
Yes. Heap has iOS and Android SDKs. Same philosophy: automatic capture + retroactive event definition.
▶How much does Heap cost?
Starts at $990/month. Premium pricing based on event volume. Enterprise discounts available.
