The tool is really helpful to better understand your user's experience.
The insights we got from Hotjar were instantly used by our team. We understood our user's journey and pain points better after reviewing the heatmaps and screen recordings.
It's fairly expensive. We operate 16 different websites and we only have Hotjar setup on one of the brands because of the cost.
Hey Brent So happy to hear that you found instant value with Hotjar and that it helped you to understand the user's journey better. You are right - once you know the pain points, you can address them a lot easier! With regards to pricing, perhaps it might be better for you to be on a plan that caters for more than 1 site? Do you want to email support@hotjar.com or submit your query here> https://help.hotjar.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000665794&pricingagencies and we can see if we can help suggest a better option for you? Hope this helps! Thanks so much again for your kind review. Bee @ Hotjar

Overall, easy to use and start collecting data. I'd use it again if I ever changed companies.
Very easy to set up tracking code, create heat maps, and start visit recordings. The analytics are easy to understand (clicks, cursor movements, and scrolling).
There's really not much to complain about. It is a bit of a pain to constantly restart recordings or create a new heatmap, but Hotjar has recently announced that recordings will now be continuous. A big improvement!

Overall, it provides valuable heatmap and users interaction tracking so we can optimized SEO. It stil is a little creepy though
It does what it is supposed to do. It shows where users are clicking on your site and gives good detailed information on how users interact with your site.
It is a little creepy and any active tracking makes the site a little slower. Some users feel their privacy is violated and report it.
Hey there, Thanks so much for taking the time to review us, we appreciate it! We're glad to hear you're getting useful insights from Hotjar. Just wanting to follow up your feedback about Hotjar 'being creepy' and your users feeling their privacy is being violated. While we can't give you legal advice, we recommend telling your users what Hotjar data is really meant for, which is improving their...

The ability to use the heatmaps to monitor UX and provide visual representation to offer design alternatives.
Difficult to breakdown specific users where other platforms have the ability to breakdown from campaigns etc. may have been the package though.

It's really nice to be able to see the journey a user takes and what it does in your website so you can identify pain points. Heatmaps are also really nice.
There's nothing we haven't been able to do yet or something we feel it may be missing.
