Contentsquare (formerly Hotjar) review

Hotjar now lives inside Contentsquare: hotjar.com redirects to a Contentsquare page that says Hotjar users can log in with the same credentials and keep heatmaps, recordings and surveys. The combined product is the strongest documented package for conversion teams here. The free plan captures up to 200k sessions per month and includes replays, heatmaps, funnels, error and performance monitoring, basic surveys and an MCP connection for AI assistants, with 1 month of data access and 1 project. Growth starts at $39 per month billed yearly, or $49 paid monthly, for 7k monthly sessions, and adds 13 months of data, 3 projects, zone-based heatmaps, path analysis, impact quantification and Sense AI summaries of replays and heatmaps. Pro and Enterprise are sold on demos and add cross-device journeys, revenue attribution, real user monitoring and A/B testing outcomes analysis. The trade-off is that the most advanced analysis sits behind custom pricing.
