Lucky Orange vs. Piwik PRO

Lucky Orange is one of the few players in the marketplace to provide real-time, live heatmaps along with navigation interactions, including at the secondary and tertiary levels. The Lucky Orange dashboard provides basic user behavioral metrics, and the user recordings allow you to get deeper insights into user behavior beyond the heatmap overlays. Also, the addition of real-time polling and chat capabilities enable you to engage with your users while they are on-page and push/promote special offers and promos, as well as survey website visitors about their experience.

Actually, it is a platform that I would recommend to analyze all the data and information. It allows us to optimize the entire journey of our clients. It is a flexible tool and has excellent data security, through Piwik we can keep track of all our commercial objectives, create reports and analyze all campaigns.

• Session recordings provide detailed playbacks of how people are using your website
• Heatmaps work well and display what people are clicking on over a range of screen sizes.
• Pricing makes this a great entry point to understand a range of tools that you can use to understand your customers better.
• Integrates well with other tools, from GA to Adobe Analytics to Optimizely.

Incentivized

• Being the owner of your own analytics data
• Tracking on session levels including personal data (with consent)
• Raw data export of the analytics data

• Deletes older data that we sometimes like to go back and reference. It would be nice to access an archive.
• Sometimes we get too many recordings that are very similar to one another. Would be nice to have a filter to reduce similar recordings.

• Filtering: ip ranges, hostnames, regex. These are a few things that aren't possible like we are used to.
• Tag Manager: not all tags/triggers are possible yet to what we are used to.
• Are more progressive payment model: more little steps to buy a plan.
• Custom dimensions: they weren't available but are now. But they aren't that user friendly yet as I'm used to.

The pricing options for large business are very lacking. The value of Lucky Orange doesn't really increase after your first 50,000 page visits but the service is on a sliding scale so the more traffic you have the more they charge. In addition, we got lots of useful information out of lucky orange in the beginning but after a while we knew what things needed to be fixed and are waiting on our developers to create the AB tests.

Good, timely responses from knowledgeable support team members.

We had to contact the support several times in the beginning and they really took their time to explain the different functions in detail. So in terms of support I can definitely recommend Piwik PRO.

Lucky Orange and Hotjar are pretty similar in a lot of ways. One element that Lucky Orange definitely leads in is pricing. Much better and easily justified price points. Ultimately, it comes down to whether or not a new client has already had experience with one or the other and whether they're willing to switch to Lucky Orange if they're not already using it, based upon price.

I can sum it up quite easy: - GA isn't that privacy friendly, something we do require on our jobboard. - Matomo is a great program with some unique features compared to Piwik, but the lay-out is - in my eyes - more cluttered. Also the different type of database makes it a bit slower Besides these two I've also checked Plausible Analytics, which is a nice package but a bit to much bare bone for us right now. Especially on the part of custom dimensions

• It is hard to quantify into numbers how much their app helps us, but we know that each customer that we are able to help with the live view feature is much more likely to convert had we not been able to help them.
• Having a live chat on its own is useful and we see an average increase of 30% in conversions when our live chat is active.

• Piwik Pro comes pre-loaded with industry-leading capabilities and features.
• Piwik Pro has an easy-to-use interface because of its simple design.
• Piwik Pro reports are incredibly customizable, easy to use, and worthwhile.
