Google Analytics

4.6 / 514,300 reviews

+ Completely free with enterprise-grade feature depth

+ Deep integration with Google ecosystem (Ads, Search Console, BigQuery)

- GA4 migration was painful; UI is less intuitive than Universal Analytics was

“GA4 had a rough launch but it's matured a lot. The event-based model is actually more flexible once you understand it. And you can't beat free.”

Hotjar

4.5 / 5800 reviews

+ Heatmaps and session recordings make user behavior instantly visual and understandable

+ Dead simple to install and start getting insights

- Session recording limits on free and lower tiers can be restrictive

“Hotjar showed us that users were completely ignoring our CTA button. One heatmap told us more than a month of A/B testing data.”
