    Smartlook was an analytics tool for websites, iOS/Android apps, and various app frameworks, designed to answer the "whys" behind users' actions. It helped understand how customers interact with website and app — watch recordings, create heatmaps, use automatic tracked events, and build conversion funnels. The product was acquired by Cisco, and Cisco later announced its End of Life (EOL), with renewals ending in August 2026.N/A

    Smartlook is best for screen recordings. Especially when you are running MVPs. However, its pricing is very high. If your daily visitors are too much then either you will have to lose many of your recordings or you will have to pay too much money.

    • Funnels are both easy to configure yet comprehensive enough to detect complicated customer journeys.
    • Real-time recording provides exceptional insights to our design & engineering teams.
    • Session recording is surprisingly lightweight and seems to cause no substantial performance degradation for our customers.

    • I feel nickel and dimed with the events and funnels.
    • We came from sessions being 30 mins of inactivity and now it's 5-10 mins. Session count has gone up significantly which we weren't prepared for.
    • Recording playback isn't as clean and maneuverable like FullStory.

    As my ratings show, I have been absolutely delighted with Smartlook in terms of usability, cost, support, and its benefit to our organization. I have given it such high ratings because I think it has really benefitted our organization and I think it could do the same for other companies too.

    Every page, the tool setup pages and dashboards are built very well, the site structure is perfectly designed and intuitive to use. All functions are well documented and the help sections are really everywhere, you don't have to search for answers, as they are just popped up or max. a click away for your service.

    Sofia P. is being our point of contact with the issues we faced. I was unsure about how to explain to her what was going on with the recording numbers (the recording has stopped before we were expecting to), but she readily understood and came with a solution for us in the same day. The problem was blocking our developer to test the integration, so it was great to have support so fast that he could continue his work.

    It has been a year between the time when I last used Hotjar and first started using Smartlook. I would say both tools are more or less equal when it comes to features, the only 2 differences I can think of are - price and customer support. Smartlook is cheaper and has superior customer services. You have the feeling when interacting with them that they genuinely care.
