Hotjar vs Heap

Quote on request

Free tier available

Hotjar's own plans are no longer sold. New buyers are quoted on Contentsquare's three product lines, which are billed separately, so budget for the line you need rather than one Hotjar-style bill. Existing customers are being migrated through 2026.

Paid tiers are quote-based by session volume.

Not available to new users. Contentsquare's free tier is the successor and is more generous than Hotjar's old 35-sessions-a-day limit.

Free plan with a monthly session limit.

• Non-technical teams adopt it without training, which is why it spread inside organisations.
• Surveys and recordings together let you ask a user about the behaviour you just watched.
• Simple installation and good default privacy masking.

• Retroactive event definition eliminates 'we didn't track that' entirely.
• Very fast time to first insight — no instrumentation project required.
• Warehouse sync for teams that want the raw data.

• You cannot buy it: new accounts are closed and you are really evaluating Contentsquare.
• Existing customers face a migration onto separately billed product lines, which can change the total.
• Weak for engineering debugging compared to LogRocket or FullStory.

• Autocaptured data needs governance or the event list becomes unusable noise.
• Session-based pricing on high-traffic products.
• Acquisition means overlap with Contentsquare's own products.

Nobody new — start with Contentsquare or Microsoft Clarity instead. Existing Hotjar customers should plan the Contentsquare migration.
