Hotjar

Hotjar combines heatmaps, session recordings, and user feedback tools to help you understand how visitors interact with your website. The free plan provides enough data to identify major usability issues.

What You Get on the Free Plan

• 35 daily sessions - Heatmaps and recordings for up to 35 sessions per day
• Heatmaps - Visualize clicks, scrolls, and mouse movement
• Session recordings - Watch real user sessions on your site
• Feedback widgets - Collect visitor feedback with on-page surveys
• Automatic data capture - No manual event setup needed

What to Know

35 sessions per day is enough for low-traffic sites but insufficient for sites with significant traffic. Hotjar is best used alongside a traditional analytics tool (Plausible, Umami, GA4) to understand the "why" behind your metrics. Paid plans start at $39/month for more sessions.
