Smartlook vs. Hotjar

Smartlook, Hotjar, and Plerdy are all good to improve website conversion and user experience. Yet, they offer different approaches to data analysis and website optimization. Plerdy has the richest functionality and unites standard heatmaps with advanced data segmentation.

Here’s what customers say about it:

“I don’t use Hotjar because of poor website performance. Although I lose some performance with Plerdy, the data I’m getting is worth it”

(nick500)

“Plerdy’s session recording feature is what I use most. Thanks to the layout, you can see how people interact with the website. Customer movement, click, page scroll, and keyboard indicators allow easily scanning long videos”

(John B, Founder)
