Mouseflow is a session replay and heatmap tool — recording user sessions, tracking funnels, and analysing form interactions to understand visitor behaviour. PageGuard monitors your website’s public-facing health — WCAG accessibility, Core Web Vitals, SEO, and ADA compliance — with zero script required, from $9/mo.
ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026
State and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Mouseflow records user sessions and generates heatmaps but provides no accessibility auditing or ADA compliance monitoring. PageGuard monitors accessibility continuously — alerting you before violations occur.

They solve different problems. Mouseflow records user sessions, generates heatmaps, tracks conversion funnels, and analyses form interactions — built for UX teams optimising user behaviour. PageGuard monitors your public-facing website health — WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility scoring, Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, and ADA compliance alerts. Many teams use both: Mouseflow for understanding what users do, PageGuard for ensuring the site is technically healthy and accessible for all visitors.
No — Mouseflow does not provide WCAG 2.1 AA compliance scoring or ADA accessibility monitoring. It is a behavioural analytics tool focused on session replay, heatmaps, and form analytics — not the technical accessibility of public web pages. With the ADA Title II deadline on April 24, 2026, PageGuard provides the accessibility monitoring that Mouseflow cannot.
PageGuard is free for on-demand website health audits — no tracking script, no account, zero setup. While Mouseflow has a free plan for 500 session recordings/month, it does not monitor website health, accessibility, or SEO. PageGuard lets you scan any public URL and receive a scored report covering Performance, Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), SEO, and Best Practices in ~30 seconds. Automated monitoring starts at $9/month.
Yes — they are complementary tools. Use Mouseflow to understand how real users interact with your site (session replay, heatmaps, funnels, form drop-off analysis) and PageGuard to ensure your public-facing pages are technically healthy and accessible (WCAG audit, SEO audit, Core Web Vitals, ADA compliance monitoring). Together: Mouseflow for “what are visitors doing on my site”, PageGuard for “is the site healthy and ADA-compliant for all visitors”.
