Hotjar vs. Lucky Orange vs. UXtweak

Hotjar is good for a first pass at understanding user sentiment or locating potential usability issues. There are features such as "rage clicked" which shows recordings or instances when a user rage clicked or had an issue with your site. Hotjar has also been helpful to launch intercept surveys on mobile, desktop, and app, which not all competitor software allow. Hotjar recordings are fun to watch. "Watching Hotjar like Netflix" is a favorite pastime at work.

Due to its price structure lick your ages best for smaller businesses it’s actually rather affordable. It also works best on WordPress Squarespace or Shopify websites. I would recommend that someone be in charge of managing the interface and be responsible for watching user behavior videos or you will lose out on Valuable insights. This product doesn’t want itself all that well two single page apps or websites with lots of website visitors one thing I wish that they would’ve let us do is only capture videos if a user did a specific action. Another issue is that the videos only were saved for 30 days.

UXtweak is suitable for everyone, whether you are a student, the owner of a small or large business, or a professional UX designer or researcher.

• Heat mapping is great on Hotjar. It is a good place to start when you are looking at the UX & CRO on your website. You can see the % of people clicking on elements on a page, how far they scroll, and mouse movements.
• Hotjar is great for session recordings. These record the mouse movements, clicks, pages and scrolls of a user in video format. You can watch these to investigate what works well on a site and identify potential roadblocks and bugs.
• Hotjar is great as it ensures that users details are anonymous; for instance, if you are watching a session recording, you cannot see what a user types in a form field, as Hotjar blanks this out.
• Hotjar has a poll function, so you can have polls on your website.

• The customer support

• Hotjar is primarily used for web-based experiences. Not that easy to use on mobile apps.
• I'd love to see Hotjar integrated with Google Analytics for an even deeper view.
• Hotjar is primarily used by smaller organizations...pricing can get steep quickly for larger organizations.

• Aggregated data for a particular page type or directory is clunky and requires multiple steps.
• Heatmap access requires direct input of targeted pages - having quick links would be easier.
• Lucky Orange's code snippet can result in a site's security settings blocking the real-time heatmaps, requiring you to disable your security settings, remove site code, or manually debug your site code to view your heatmap overlays.

• Implement native iOS testing
• Dashboard redesign

Even though the heat maps and user recordings were useful, our website was significantly slowed down after we installed Hotjar, so much so, that it took over a minute for our blog to load. The data that we gathered was not worth the length that it took our website to load.

The pricing options for large business are very lacking. The value of Lucky Orange doesn't really increase after your first 50,000 page visits but the service is on a sliding scale so the more traffic you have the more they charge. In addition, we got lots of useful information out of lucky orange in the beginning but after a while we knew what things needed to be fixed and are waiting on our developers to create the AB tests.

Hotjar is a SaaS-based company, and as such has a good support service. Users can quickly submit support tickets through Hotjar's online portal. Enterprise customers get access to additional support members and have SLAs to support their larger, more complex needs. Overall, Hotjar is extremely reliable and I've never had to reach out to customer support.

Good, timely responses from knowledgeable support team members.

HotJar was selected for a few reasons:

• Video Capture - HotJars video capture of user sessions is nothing short of amazing. It is so useful (not to mention cool) to see, in real time, how users interact with our software. It makes our jobs so much easier and more enjoyable to get this type of d
• User Surveys - The ease and flexibility of surveys we can make available on our website are an awesome tool to get additional data.
• Simple implementation - Adding a very small amount of code to our website gives us the ability to use all of HotJars features without having to touch our code again.

Pricing is another great feature from Lucky Orange. Even though they have increased it over time, they remain highly competitive and are still one of the only companies, if not the only one, that offers the combination of features that they have available on their site. So their overall value is going to be nearly impossible to beat. Besides their amazing value, the actual features that they include are very useful and not all companies included all of the features that they offered. For the pricing and the features, nobody else came close.

I have also looked into getting UserZoom and UserTesting, but their cost is much higher, so I chose UXtweak as a more affordable alternative

• We have fixed many issues, for example, checkout usability problems with the video recording feature. You can catch bugs and get an overall idea of how a particular page is working.
• Polls have helped us pair intent with the video sessions, so we can understand better why certain users answered different things. You get greedy and try to ask everything but that won't work. Keep it simple and it will give you small but important insights.
