What Plerdy offers
Plerdy's UX Prediction extension advertises AI attention heatmaps and analysis without adding tracking code to the reviewed page. It offers an initial free allowance. The older claim that Plerdy always needs visitor traffic is incorrect for this product.

When to consider Plerdy
Consider Plerdy when you want its UX Prediction report workflow or want to evaluate that product alongside its behavioural analytics suite. Verify which product generates each result and what is included in the current allowance.
When Heatpoints fits
Heatpoints emphasises a predicted overlay on the visible tab, refreshed after scrolling or resizing, plus an image generator and Championship comparison. Both products can analyse before launch. Evaluate capture handling and interpretation using the same page state.
Initial free access has usage limits. Chrome asks for email verification after the initial scans. Pro is coming soon. Check the current allowance in the product; this comparison does not promise unlimited analysis.

Compare a real task, not just a score
Choose a representative image and write down what should attract attention before running either tool. Keep dimensions, crop and page state consistent. Inspect whether the result answers your question and whether you can explain it to the person making the design decision.
Scores from different products need not use the same formula or normalisation. A higher number cannot establish better prediction accuracy. No shared benchmark or conversion experiment was conducted for this comparison.
