Answers instead of recordings

FullStory's session replay lets you watch exactly what users did on your site – every click, scroll, and hesitation. It's powerful, but watching hours of recordings isn't everyone's idea of a good time. Grandma gives you the same insights in seconds: ask "Where do visitors drop off?" and she'll tell you straight away.

A free plan vs enterprise pricing

FullStory doesn't publish pricing – you need to contact sales for a quote, and it's firmly enterprise-level. Grandma offers a genuinely free plan with 1,000 views per month, conversational AI, and conversion tracking included. No sales calls, no awkward budget conversations.

Privacy your visitors deserve

FullStory records detailed user sessions including mouse movements and form interactions. Even with privacy controls, that level of tracking raises concerns. Grandma Knows is cookie-free and GDPR-friendly by default – she never records individual sessions or tracks personal behaviour. Your visitors get their privacy; you get your insights.

Session replay vs conversational analytics

FullStory and Grandma Knows solve different problems. If you need to debug specific UX issues by watching recordings, FullStory is built for that. If you want to understand your website's overall performance through a friendly conversation – without the privacy overhead – Grandma knows best.
