Hotjar doesn't offer live chat at all and surveys cost extra — both are included with Lucky Orange.
DYNAMIC HEATMAPS
Lucky Orange heatmaps capture clicks and mouse moves on dynamic elements — dropdowns, sticky headers, modals, popups, and forms — in real time. Just press your Shift key. No screenshots, no workarounds, no missing data.
With Hotjar, dynamic elements require you to manually capture a screenshot of the state you want to analyze. That means if a dropdown is the problem, you might never see the heatmap data that proves it.
✓ Lucky Orange shows you what Hotjar can't — without extra steps.
SESSION RECORDINGS
When Hotjar limits your recording count, you're missing real interactions. The sessions that get cut may be exactly the ones where visitors rage-click, abandon forms, or encounter bugs.
Lucky Orange records every session you track — no sampling. You see all user interactions, so no conversion problem hides in the data you didn't capture. And if you hit your plan limit, Keep Me Tracking lets you automatically continue on a higher plan.
SIMPLE, ALL-IN PRICING
Hotjar doesn't even let you sign up on their website. You have to go through their parent company, Contentsquare.
Beyond being weird, this also means listed plans stop at Growth which is $49/month. Anything above that requires calls with a sales person to build your custom plan (read: additional cost on top of additional cost).
Lucky Orange includes surveys, live visitor view , AI-powered analysis, heatmaps, recordings, and funnels in a single plan.
✓ All features on all plans. No hidden costs.
DISCOVERY AI
You shouldn't have to take on a huge contract to get the fully AI offering from your CRO tools. To get access to Hotjar Sense AI Analyst, you have to start a custom plan.
And to make things even easier inside Discovery AI, we pre-loaded a library of Suggested Actions so you can move quickly and get to your answer faster.
