Lytms vs Crazy Egg
Crazy Egg shows where visitors clicked. Lytms scores why the click did not happen.
Crazy Egg accumulates behavioral data as real visitors hit your page. Heatmaps reveal which elements got clicks (and which got ignored). Scrollmaps show where visitors stopped scrolling. Attention maps overlay engagement intensity. The output is data about what happened.
Lytms reads the page itself and scores against a corpus. The output is structured: verdict per dimension, weak-sentence quotes from the page, suggested rewrites. No traffic required; the diagnosis is page-level, not visitor-level.
Different positions in the same workflow: Crazy Egg tells you visitors stopped scrolling at the hero. Lytms tells you the hero is generic and the headline is at the 3rd-percentile of comparable pages in the corpus. The combination is sharper than either alone.
When to pick Crazy Egg
- You have meaningful traffic and want to see where attention goes.
- You need to share heatmap visuals with design or product teams.
- You want to A/B test variants and compare their heatmaps.
- Your problem is engagement on existing pages, not the canonical copy.
When to pick Lytms
- You are pre-launch or pre-traffic and need a diagnostic before spending on ads.
- You want to know if the weak hero is the cause, not just observe the symptom.
- You need to score multiple pages against the same rubric.
- You need findings exportable as text (Linear / Jira / Slack).
Frequently asked
Does Crazy Egg work without traffic?
No. Heatmaps require accumulated visitor sessions. Lytms scores the page itself; works on day zero.
Can Lytms see where visitors clicked?
No — Lytms reads the page, not the visitor. For click-level data, run Crazy Egg or Hotjar alongside.
Is Lytms a heatmap tool?
No. Lytms is a scoring + diagnostic tool. Output is structured findings (verdict, weak sentences, rewrites), not a visual overlay.
