A Hotjar alternative that unifies feedback and behavior across every source

Hotjar is great at showing where users struggle on a single page. Heatmaps, session recordings and on-page surveys make it easy to see a rage click or a dead scroll, and for spotting page-level friction it is genuinely useful. What people raise when they look at Hotjar alternatives is that the picture is siloed and recording heavy: you are watching individual sessions one at a time, and the feedback does not connect to the rest of your product story.

UserInsight takes a unified, privacy-first approach. It brings product usage together with feedback, surveys, support tickets and reviews, then the AI surfaces where users get stuck, why they churn and which themes are recurring, across the whole journey rather than one page. It works on aggregate, consented data with no PII and no voyeuristic replay, and every insight is traced to its source evidence on transparent, self-serve pricing.

Unified, not siloed

Hotjar shines on a single page. UserInsight connects behavior with feedback, tickets, surveys and reviews so you see the whole journey, not one session at a time.
