I had a very disappointing experience with Hotjar. I attempted to cancel my subscription within the 7 days following an automatic renewal, which is a reasonable timeframe to request a refund. Howe... See more
While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

They went from a tool you could use very affordably to penny-pinching every little feature. It's crazy how slimey they are, making you spend hundreds of dollars a month for arbitrary limits (eg. h... See more

Very poor customer service and sales team. If you are looking for an enterprise agreement, Hotjar does not allow you to trial their service. I've been going around in circles with the support team for a week now. As a customer for 7 years, I've reached the end of my tether with them following other poor support cases and a number of system outages.

In comparison to fullstory
In comparison to fullstory, it has better UX and more features.
But its pricing is high, especially for starters.
It will be better if it can give more recording in the trial.

I've just installed the tool into my WebShop and reviewing customer interaction I can see places where the customer struggles, in my case the DropDown menu root element is not clickable, and have to click on the sub item, I can see customers abandoning the shop as they don't know that they have to click on the sub menu. This fix will obviously increase the conversion of the website. I love this tool already.

They erased 1 year of recordings
They erased 1 year of recordings, they removed all my settings & setups, they toke all the money, they are definitely not recommended to any professional business or agency. Very slow & unprofessional support, they simply don't know their product.
They will take your money, your effort & nothing will return. they will leave you with real loses and they don't care about you.
