ATLANTA, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FullStory, the market and technology leader in Digital Experience Intelligence (DXI), today announced record growth and rapid market expansion in 2021, as companies increasingly rely on FullStory's innovative DXI platform to understand and improve the digital products and experiences that drive business success.

In 2021, FullStory increased its annual recurring revenue (ARR) by more than 70% year over year, as product, engineering, and marketing teams chose FullStory to understand users' digital experiences, eliminate friction, and rapidly capitalize on opportunities to improve. The company won key deals against competitors at industry-leading brands, including Groupon, Automattic, and L'Occitane. FullStory closed five of its nine biggest deals in the last quarter of 2021, as large enterprises implement DXI as the system of record for digital business.

"As people manage more of their work and personal lives online, companies across industries have embraced FullStory for the insights they need to deliver premium digital products and experiences," said Scott Voigt, CEO and co-founder of FullStory. "FullStory's comprehensive DXI platform provides a unique view of real user behavior and surfaces the 'unknown unknowns' to drive product analytics, UX research, conversion optimization, and more. We're honored to be the first choice for so many incredible brands that are making digital better for billions of people around the globe."

FullStory closed a $100 million funding round at a $1.8 billion valuation in August 2021 and now delivers DXI-powered results in over 60 countries. The FullStory platform analyzed behavioral data across nearly 17.5 billion sessions and more than 1 trillion interactions in 2021, using advanced machine learning (ML) and behavioral heuristics to deliver privacy-first insights that enable companies to build better digital products and experiences.

Additional 2021 highlights include:
