Hotjar
Hotjar combines session recordings, heatmaps, and on-site feedback surveys to show teams exactly how users interact with their product — and where they get stuck or leave. SMBs use it to identify friction points causing churn, validate UX changes, and collect voice-of-customer feedback. Free plan covers up to 35 daily sessions.
Product and marketing teams wanting to understand user behavior visually. SMBs identifying UX problems causing drop-off. Teams combining quantitative analytics with qualitative session data.
Watching actual session recordings is the fastest way to find UX problems causing churn — faster than any survey or analytics report. Free plan is genuinely useful for early-stage teams.
Mobile-native apps (Hotjar is web-focused). Businesses needing loyalty programs or email automation. Teams wanting event-based behavioral analytics rather than visual session data.

I could not believe the creepy surveillance level of this tool. This should be blocked by default on every browser.

Being able to see users actually use your site, combined with heatmaps and more really lets your team focus on usability issues, or help direct attention to more important features.

Watched session recordings for a week and found three UX problems causing drop-off that our analytics never showed us. Fixed them and saw immediate improvement in retention.

Free plan is surprisingly capable for early stage. The heatmaps and exit surveys together give you a clear picture of why people leave without needing a data team.
