Microsoft Clarity is a free, privacy-compliant behavior analytics tool that helps teams understand how users interact with their website through heatmaps, session recordings, and engagement metrics. Designed for marketers, UX designers, and developers, Clarity provides actionable insights to improve usability and drive better conversion outcomes.
Solving Key Frictions
