What Heap does best
Heap's main differentiator is retroactive analytics—you can analyze user behavior that happened before you implemented tracking. This zero-setup approach appeals to teams who want quick insights without engineering overhead.
The gap Heap can't fill
Heap captures "what" users do but has no mechanism to understand "where" they came from. The retroactive feature is useful, but it doesn't help you understand which marketing channels deserve more investment.
tracerHQ connects your GSC data, product analytics, and Stripe, so you see conversion rate and MRR per keyword—not just rankings.
