Comparison
Korvus vs Contentsquare
Contentsquare is the French benchmark for UX analytics. Korvus addresses a different need, the financial protection of e-commerce revenue, so the two tools complement each other.

Frequently asked questions
Can Korvus replace Contentsquare?
No, and it isn't meant to. Contentsquare is strong at in-depth UX analysis (heatmaps, replays, journeys). Korvus focuses on detecting the anomalies that cost you money and translating them into financial impact. Contentsquare helps you understand behavior and Korvus protects revenue, so the two complement each other.
Can you use Korvus and Contentsquare at the same time?
Yes. The two scripts are independent and don't interfere with each other. Korvus weighs < 5 KB versus ~120 KB for Contentsquare, so the combined performance impact stays under control. Many mid-market online retailers run a UX analytics tool and a financial monitoring tool side by side.
Why isn't Contentsquare enough to detect dead pixels?
Contentsquare analyzes user behavior (clicks, scroll, navigation). It doesn't monitor conversion tags (Meta Pixel, GA4, TikTok). It measures user experience rather than ad tracking, so if your Meta pixel dies, Contentsquare doesn't see it. Korvus does.
Contentsquare is French too. What's the difference for GDPR?
Contentsquare is a French company, but EU customer data is hosted in Ireland, with AWS or Microsoft Azure according to its public sub-processor list, not in France. Korvus hosts all data in France (Scaleway, Paris) with zero transfers outside the European Union.
How does Contentsquare's price compare with Korvus?
Contentsquare offers a free plan (up to 200,000 sessions/month) and a Growth plan from $39/month. Pro and Enterprise plans are custom-quoted (median contract estimated at ~$20,000/year), with add-ons that push the bill up. At Korvus, pricing is based on session volume, with every feature included: no add-ons, no extra modules mid-contract. A thirty-minute call is enough to get a costed proposal.
