Zuko is often seen as an alternative to Lucky Orange for form tracking. While this is true to a degree, when you compare Zuko and Lucky Orange the differences become apparent.
Lucky Orange has grown over the years to offer a portfolio of tools that deliver the basics on many fronts. Zuko, in contrast, has chosen to stay focused on one area; form analytics. This means that Zuko has been designed to deliver the most in-depth insights and flexible reporting in the forms arena, while Lucky Orange caters for businesses that like to dip into a range of functions.
That said, the two platforms are not incompatible. Unlike some of the other players out there, both Zuko and Lucky Orange have positioned themselves to be affordable for all businesses. This means that combining the tools is not out of the question. Indeed many of Zuko’s customers use Lucky Orange for additional features such as surveys, chat or heat maps alongside the detailed form reports that Zuko provides.
When it comes to form analytics specifically, this table breaks down how the two products compare:
Zuko is the number one tool for form optimization. This means that we deliberately don’t compete in other areas meaning that Lucky Orange does offer a greater breadth of functionality. The features that Lucky Orange have that Zuko doesn’t include heat mapping, surveys, session recording and live chat.
Like Zuko, Lucky Orange are very competitive in their pricing. Their lowest paid package starts at $10 per month although that quickly ramps up to $100 per month for a fuller range of features. They also offer larger enterprise packages at an undisclosed rate. Be careful though; part of their business model involves charging extra for data storage if you want to keep it for more than 30 days and that is where the costs can spiral upwards.
With a Zuko subscription starting at $140 you may be tempted to think that Lucky Orange offers better value. However, we are confident that the level of insight you can quickly achieve in Zuko more than justifies the fee. We are also upfront about our costs and do not tag on upgrades fees if you need to look at data from more than 30 days old.
"Lucky Orange was relatively easy to set up and get heatmaps running. The form reports were pretty basic though. We added Zuko to our marketing stack to give us that deeper insight and we’ve been perfectly happy using both tools together to improve our site UX."
