questions
Can AI replace Microsoft Clarity?

Kinda. The core of Microsoft Clarity is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: Microsoft-scale free hosting, rage-click insights. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Microsoft Clarity cost?

Microsoft Clarity costs about $0/month (Free, checked 2026-08-05), which is $0 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Microsoft Clarity?

Honestly: Microsoft-scale free hosting; rage-click insights. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Microsoft Clarity?

No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at — which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
