About Smartlook
What is Smartlook?
Smartlook is a digital experience analytics tool that combines session recordings with event-based analytics. It helps you understand user behavior on your website or mobile app by showing exactly what users do, where they click, and how they navigate.
Who is it for?
Smartlook is designed for product managers, UX researchers, and marketing teams who need to identify usability issues, optimize conversion funnels, and improve user experience. It is not ideal for teams needing real-time analytics or advanced A/B testing features.
Key use cases
Watch session recordings to diagnose why users abandon a checkout flow, analyze heatmaps to see which page elements attract the most clicks, and use funnels to pinpoint drop-off points. Crash reports with session replays help developers fix bugs without manual reproduction.
Key features
- Session Recordings — Watch real user sessions to see exactly what happens on your site or app; use advanced filters to jump to key moments.
- Events — Track how often users perform specific actions and use those events as filters in recordings.
- Funnels — Identify where users drop off and click to view recordings of drop-off sessions instantly.
- Heatmaps — See where users click and how far they scroll for an overview of page engagement.
- Behavior Flows — Visualize user movement through your site or app to see if navigation paths work as intended.
- Crash Reports — Watch session recordings leading up to a crash to determine the cause without QA reproduction.
