Does anyone have any experiences they'd like to share? I'm interested in signing up for one of them. The feature I'm most interested in is the mouse movement heat-maps. I've used clickheat which is free. It did its job but IMO, click maps are pretty useless on landing pages. If you've got 1 CTA button, its pretty obvious where visitors are going to click.
Thanks
I just saw that Open Web Analytics does mouse tracking for free, but would still like any feedback that anyone has about the other 3

EDIT: Never mind, no mouse heat maps on that one.
I think it does click heatmap but not mouse movement heatmap.
Well, here are my initial impressions of mouseflow.
I signed up for the free trial which allows you 1 domain and 100 recordings. I had difficulties setting it up at first. I set it up on my root domain initially and nothing was tracking. Figured out that on the configuration page you have to setup as a sub domain if you are using one.
Most of the tracking studies show that there's a 88% correlation between mouse position and what people are reading, but I found that on small landing pages with everything above the fold, people don't move their mouse much. My opinions are that on a small single page lander with only 1 exit point (call to action button.) Its not very effective. I'm sure results would be different on pages with a lot of content and lots of links. I watched about 20 or so recordings and most of the time, the mouse didn't move except to click on the button. What was cool though is the playback shows exactly whats on their screen. So if your layout is too wide or too tall or button is below the fold, you will see it. I found out that a lot of times, my button was below the fold. Not because I designed the page wrong, but I'm assuming more because people have a lot of toolbar installed therefore reducing their screen real estate and pushing the button down.
I didn't get to see the mouse tracking heat maps unfortunately. Maybe I don't have enough data points yet. I'm going to leave it running and when i get enough data, I'll post up a screenshot.
I'd still like to hear from other users about their experiences and opinions.
I tested Mouseflow, Seevolution and LuckyOrange last week when making the decision of which to go with. I'd tried seevolution before and had had issues with it, but thought it was promising so went for it again.
I found both Mouseflow and seevolution to be buggy, and the user interface was so easy with LuckyOrange that I just went with that. The user videos on LuckyOrange are a bonus and I find them useful for getting ideas on what to do next with the Lander. I signed up via appsumo for a 6 month deal - not sure if that is still open, was $42 for 6 months.
Just came across this. Draws lines where people move their mouse. Marks clicks. Gonna test it out.

EDIT: Could not get it working. Think it has something to do with subdomains. oh well :-/
@minh: you can do the same with LuckyOrange and it's much more user-friendly (compared with the video you posted).
LuckyOrange is the one I use
There was a great deal on couple of days ago at AppSumo for a 6month subs to Pro for I think $40
LO dose more then mouse tracking. I like the polls & chat features as well as the live traffic view and active user spy .
I tried them all. In the end, I liked Lucky Orange the best. I will probably sign up for it soon. Have you guys noticed that Lucky Orange gets the "server juiced" message a lot?
