If I were in charge of the purchase decision, I probably would've gone with Hotjar, as they have additional qualitative data collection abilities other than heat and click maps. However, I inherited the purchase decision. Crazy Egg has been great for our click and heatmap needs.
Hotjar is more expensive than Crazy Eggs, and we needed a tool to fit the budget for small comp. With more time, we could have tested it deeply also to have a better opinion, it seems to be great too
We felt that Crazy Egg is easy to set up and use when compared to other tools. Also, the pricing is affordable so we gave it a try and it works for us.
I will say that I didn't evaluate or select Crazy Egg, it's been a legacy tool that has been at the company before me. Honestly, we're not even sure of all of the features/functionality that we can use. Me, as a UXR, I think there are some other tools that would help me more in …
We selected Crazy Egg because it was cheaper and simpler to implement than other tools we evaluated. Other tools felt too complicated for the first step in heat mapping, but as a growing organization trying to learn more about our users, it felt like the optimal first step for …
It is very simple to use, everything from setting up to seeing the results. You can easily export everything into a JPG or PDF and share it with clients. CrazyEgg is also more value oriented with a lower price point.
There are a lot of tools with similar feature and closely equal pricing- This factor is the most confusing. As we need something for our website and not every tool has everything and it took time for us to understand this. We choose Crazy Egg for its ease of using and anyone …
Hotjar offers a much more comprehensive service and more tools for a lower value than Crazy Egg. We've also found that there intuitive and easy to use interface makes the software a much more attractive option for us as it's something anyone within the organization can begun …
I used Crazy Egg ages ago but never got into it! I'm sure the tool is much different now.
Google Optimize is not a direct competitor, but tests can be run, and with funnel and events tracking in Google Analytics, you can get a lot of the data that Hotjar is also telling you it …
Hotjar stacks up on basic feature, ease of use, implementation, and, of course, the cost. Its out-of-the-box solution makes it less painful when implementing bigger solutions like Tealium. While Crazy Egg is pretty much for the smaller scale website, which for that purpose …
Hotjar was relatively more known to the team and they had past experience as well with the tool which made the adoption relatively easier. As such we didn’t find a lot of difference between the two tools when it comes fulfilling our use cases so for us specifically both were …
It's nice to know what exactly your site visitors like and what they think. Hotjar is the best software in the industry for such purpose. It is so easy-to-use and combines user behavior analysis and customer feedback tools that help you make more effective strategies and …
Ok Hotjar is more comparable with CrazyEgg, we haven't really [used] CrazyEgg since we get everything we need with Hotjar and the tools work just perfect, let's say HotJar is a very polished product and that's why we haven't changed it.Normal analytics like Google Analytics …
Hotjar is robust and incredibly affordable. It's insane how cheap it is for what it provides. Recordings and heatmaps alone are worth the price tag. Add on the other feedback gathering functionality and it's a really good bargain. It comes at a slight cost at the manual …
Best value, most bells, and whistles for the price point. When you are a startup, SMB, a lead budget is critical, and Hotjar matches right up with that. They will work with you, teach you how to use the software to get what you need out of it to help your business.
Hotjar provides a lot of functionalities under one roof that are typically available in multiple other software programs. We use it to replace several other products and it's not the best at every single feature, but Hotjar is the best all-around tool, especially for the price.
No other solution offers the full suite of visitor recording, heatmapping and scroll mapping, polls, surveys, and funnel tracking at such a reasonable price point. Every other solution compromises either on features or price, with many sacrificing on both - fewer features and …
Hotjar offers a range of tools rather than focus on one functionality. Combining information from heatmaps, website recordings and user questionaries can provide a full picture of user behavior and user motivations that further help to improve the UX and UI. Hotjar was chosen …
I prefer Hotjar to the competition for two reasons. 1) Hotjar combines all of the most useful tools for gathering qualitative and behavioral data from users and visitors into a single tool. 2) Hotjar has achieved a balance of functionality to usability that is almost ideally …
