Hotjar asks your visitors.
PostCliq checks your pages.

Hotjar gives you recordings, heatmaps and the visitor’s own words. PostCliq gives you a ranked list of what on the page is likely to stop them.

Audit your website

The short answer.

VERDICT

Hear visitors, or fix pages.

Hotjar, now part of Contentsquare, where new accounts open on a free plan, records sessions, draws heatmaps and runs on-site surveys and feedback widgets, so you hear from real visitors. PostCliq does not record or survey anyone. It reads up to 50 public pages and ranks what is most likely stopping enquiries, with evidence. If you want visitors’ own words, use Hotjar. If you need to know what to fix first, without installing anything, start with PostCliq.

At a glance.

Which should you choose?

Choose Contentsquare (Hotjar) if

  • You want surveys and feedback from real visitors.
  • You want recordings and heatmaps with a feedback layer on top.
  • You want surveys and replays from one vendor, free to start.

Choose PostCliq if

  • You need a ranked list of fixes, with evidence.
  • You cannot install scripts yet, or the site is not yours.
  • You want speed, accessibility, security, tracking and AI visibility checked too.

Use them together.

Find the pages first

Run PostCliq to find the pages and steps most likely to lose enquiries.

Then ask the visitors

Target a Hotjar survey at those pages to ask visitors directly. PostCliq does not import Hotjar data.

Free recordings instead

If you want free recordings and heatmaps, Microsoft Clarity is the behaviour tool PostCliq connects to.

PostCliq vs Microsoft Clarity

What PostCliq does not do.

Knowing the limits is part of choosing well.

Questions people ask.

Is there a free alternative to Hotjar?

Yes. Contentsquare, which now runs Hotjar, has a free plan, and Microsoft Clarity offers recordings and heatmaps free with no traffic limits, according to Microsoft. PostCliq is a free audit, not a recording tool, and it connects to Clarity if you want both.

Does PostCliq record sessions?

No. PostCliq reads public pages the way a careful visitor would and never records real visitors. There is no script to install. If you want behaviour data beside its findings, connect Microsoft Clarity, read-only.

Who owns Hotjar?

Contentsquare. Hotjar is now part of it, and hotjar.com sends visitors to Contentsquare. New users sign up on Contentsquare’s free plan. Check Contentsquare’s pricing page for current limits rather than older third-party summaries.

Can PostCliq tell me what visitors think?

No. Only visitors can tell you that, through surveys or interviews. PostCliq tells you what on the page is likely to stop them, with evidence you can check, and three fixes to make first.

Which should I start with?

If you have no data yet, start with the free audit to find the likely problems. Then use a behaviour or feedback tool to confirm them on the pages that matter. That order avoids hours of recordings with no question to answer.
