Yes — a few heatmap/session analytics tools are better suited than classic “website heatmaps” when you need mobile + desktop behavior across multi-step product funnels.

Good options

  • FullStory

    • Strong for product analytics + session replay
    • Good cross-device visibility, rage clicks, dead clicks, funnel drop-off
    • More product-focused than simple marketing heatmaps
  • Contentsquare

    • Built for digital experience analytics
    • Strong on journey analysis, heatmaps, scroll/click behavior, and funnel drop-offs
    • Works well for complex, high-traffic products and both mobile/desktop
  • Hotjar

    • Easy to use for heatmaps and recordings
    • Better for simpler funnel analysis
    • Cross-device insights exist, but it’s not as deep for complex product behavior
  • Mouseflow

    • Session replay + heatmaps + funnels
    • Supports mobile and desktop analytics
    • Good mid-market option
  • Smartlook

    • Strong for mobile apps + web
    • Helpful if you need behavior tracking across app and web funnels
    • Includes funnels, recordings, heatmaps
  • Amplitude / Mixpanel + replay tools

    • Not heatmap-first, but excellent for complex funnels
    • Pair with a replay/heatmap tool for behavior context
    • Best when you need robust event-based analytics

If you specifically need mobile app + web

Look at:

  • Smartlook
  • FullStory (depending on setup)
  • Contentsquare
  • Firebase + replay/UX tooling for app-heavy products

If you need “heatmaps” on complex funnels

A key limitation: classic heatmaps are usually page-level and work best on relatively static pages. For complex product funnels, you’ll often want:

  • session replay
  • event-based funnels
  • mobile gesture analysis
  • journey/path analysis
  • cross-device identity stitching

Quick recommendation

  • Best overall for complex product funnels: FullStory or Contentsquare
  • Best budget-friendly option: Smartlook or Mouseflow
  • Best for simpler marketing-site heatmaps: Hotjar

If you want, I can also give you a side-by-side comparison table based on:

  1. web + mobile app support
  2. funnel analysis depth
  3. pricing tier
  4. privacy/compliance
  5. ease of implementation
