Here are top 10 reasons to consider VWO over Hotjar

Dive into the full journey of your users

With VWO, immerse yourself in comprehensive user journey insights, capturing every session of individual users. In contrast, Hotjar operates on a session-based model, restricted by session counts and offering only random user sessions.

Dive Into The Full Journey Of Your Users

Visualize visitor engagement in depth with dynamic heatmaps and click areas

VWO elevates your analysis, enabling you to contrast click areas seamlessly and offering dynamic heatmaps that track interactive nuances. Even for pages tucked behind logins, like profiles or checkouts, VWO’s got your back. In contrast, Hotjar struggles with such features, lacking the ability to prioritize crucial click zones and facing challenges with interactive elements.

Clickarea

Save session recordings for enhanced user insights

Beyond Hotjar, VWO transforms session recordings into lasting CRO goldmines. How? You can harness historical session recordings for complete UX optimization, draw richer insights through comparative analysis, and fast-track team onboarding with lessons from previous user interactions.

Manage Your Recordings With Ease@2x (1)

Create customized views for targeted visitor segment tracking

Customized Views give you an edge not found in Hotjar. Easily create personalized views to track specific visitor segments or pages. Whether it’s custom heatmaps or session recording views, you’re in control. Share insights effortlessly via email from VWO’s user-friendly interface.

Save Views@2x

Learn how to improve your forms to reach your goals

While Hotjar requires tedious manual reviews of heatmaps and recordings to glean insights on form behavior, VWO simplifies the process. Dive deep with VWO’s advanced form analytics, pinpointing field-level interactions to identify where users might feel lost, frustrated, or choose to abandon the form altogether.

Form Analytics

Trigger surveys at the right time to better understand your customer

VWO empowers you to engage users precisely when it matters. Whether it’s views, clicks, scrolls, the number of pages they’ve visited, their exit intent, a video they’ve watched, or even a specific test variation they’ve seen, VWO has you covered. In contrast, Hotjar offers a more limited scope, focusing merely on basic triggers like page views and duration of visit.

Surveys

Deep dive into the insights by slicing and dicing the data with advanced filters

VWO delivers superior segmentation with options like traffic source, IP, cookie value, UTM, screen resolution, and more, giving you detailed audience insights, no coding needed. Hotjar? Just basic filters like device and user-type.

Slice & Dice

Gather insights, but not at the cost of your page performance

VWO leads the CRO industry as the fastest optimization platform. With our asynchronous SmartCode and globally distributed servers, we guarantee minimal impact on your website’s performance. Choose VWO for optimization without compromise.

Performance

No need for source code adjustments like Hotjar requires.

Whitelisting
