Lucky Orange vs. Thrive Leads

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.

Thrive Leads is really well suited for solopreneur service providers, ecommerce brands, and small to medium businesses. I wouldn't recommend Thrive Leads as an enterprise level solution, but I don't think they're trying to be that, either. Thrive Leads will help you if you don't have a whole marketing department (or if you are the one guiding a marketing VA) to do a better job of capturing leads and building your email list, which is the life blood of small online busines.

• 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

• Capture contact data
• Segment contacts
• Integrate with Activecampaign in a straightforward way

• 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.

• The form creator is WYSIWYG, but not 100%
• If computer is slow, forms are slow to load
• Form loading can sometimes affect Google page speed insights

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.

Thrive Leads can be easily used by anyone who has the basic skills to work within the WordPress environment and who has the knowledge about lead capture and segmentation. As a lead capture tool, I think it's use is restricted to obtaining contact information in different settings, which it does flawlessly.

Good, timely responses from knowledgeable support team members.

In general, the support is great. When living in a different time zone, the support can seem slow but it's not. Most of the time, any issues I have get sorted out quickly and if it's not the first time, it generally gets fixed on the second go. Their knowledge base is good too although sometimes it's hard to search. Not usually their fault, more that users don't title their problems better.

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.

Both Leadpages and ClickFunnels are great products but because they are so specific in many ways they didn't allow me to use them right across an entire website. Thrive Leads has integrated their products so well that you can use them on any wordpress site and of course with all other Thrive products. I also found the cost much better and the constant updating of the software means it's always up-to-date with the market.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Grew our email list quickly through opt in offers
• Decreased time to build campaigns manually
• Increased donations from email subscribers
