Comparison
Netaj vs Smartlook
An honest head-to-head — what each platform does well, where they overlap, and where they don't.
Smartlook is strong for native mobile apps, but a Salla store needs A/B testing, surveys and Arabic-first RTL — and that is exactly where Netaj is built to win.
Feature-by-feature comparison
| Netaj | Smartlook | |
|---|---|---|
| A/B Testing | Visual editor, multivariate, traffic split | Not available |
| Web Session Recordings | Unlimited on Pro with frustration scoring | Capped by plan, paid add-ons for more |
| Mobile App Recordings (iOS/Android) | Web-focused, no native mobile SDK | Mature native SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter |
| Heatmaps | Click, scroll, move + RTL-aware rendering | Click, scroll, move on web |
| Funnels | Conversion funnels tied to experiments | Standalone funnels and events |
| Surveys | Bilingual on-site surveys with targeting | Not available |
| Native Salla Integration | One-click install from the Salla App Store, tracker added automatically | Manual JS install only |
| Arabic / RTL Interface | Full Arabic dashboard, reports and emails | English-only interface |
Why teams switch from Smartlook
- Run real A/B tests on product, cart and checkout pages — Smartlook can record the problem but cannot test the fix.
- Get a native Arabic dashboard and RTL heatmaps your team and stakeholders can actually read.
- Install in one click from the Salla App Store instead of pasting JS and hoping the theme does not break it.
- One bill for recordings, heatmaps, surveys and experiments instead of stacking Smartlook with a separate testing tool.
Where Smartlook still wins
- Native mobile recording: if you ship an iOS or Android app, Smartlook's SDKs are battle-tested and Netaj does not record native screens.
- Generous free tier — 3,000 sessions per month is enough to validate the product before you commit to a paid plan.
- Enterprise backing from Cisco AppDynamics gives larger organizations the procurement and SOC2 paperwork they expect.

Frequently asked questions
Does Smartlook support A/B testing?+
No. Smartlook focuses on recordings, heatmaps and funnels. To actually test changes on product pages, cart or checkout you need a separate tool — Netaj includes a visual A/B testing editor in the same dashboard.
Should I pick Smartlook if I have a mobile app?+
If your primary product is a native iOS or Android app, yes — Smartlook's mobile SDKs are stronger than anything Netaj offers today. Netaj is the better choice when your revenue comes from a Salla storefront.
Does Smartlook work with Salla out of the box?+
Not natively. You have to paste a JavaScript snippet into the theme and maintain it manually. Netaj is a Salla app you install in one click, and Salla injects the tracker automatically, so it stays in place even when you change themes.
Is Smartlook available in Arabic?+
The Smartlook dashboard is English-only and its heatmaps are not RTL-aware. Netaj ships a fully Arabic interface with right-to-left heatmaps and bilingual reports for stakeholders.
How does pricing compare?+
Smartlook has a free tier of 3,000 sessions and paid plans from $55/mo for recordings only. Netaj Starter is 99 SAR/mo and Pro is 349 SAR/mo, billed through your Salla subscription, and both include recordings, heatmaps, surveys and A/B testing in one bill.
