Chose Lucky Orange
If you just need general website data then you really can’t beat Google Analytics on cost but you can’t get the depth of data from GA I’ve used tag manager in the past to generate similar data which isn’t worth the work. Hotjar is pretty much the same and honestly it …
Chose Lucky Orange
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 …
Chose Lucky Orange
Lucky Orange is the only provider that measures interactions with drop-down navigation, going beyond just static page elements. Additionally, Lucky Orange provides updated, real-time user data and heatmaps, and includes polling and chat functionality not found in its …
Chose Lucky Orange
Pricing is another great feature from Lucky Orange. Even though they have increased it over time, they remain highly competitive and are still one of the only companies, if not the only one, that offers the combination of features that they have available on their site. So …
Chose Lucky Orange
Cheaper than all of the alternatives. Hotjar does have a basic free tier, but the cost of entry for Lucky Orange isn't prohibitive.
Decibel Insight and ClickTale are arguably better, but cost many times more. They also focus more on the session recordings and not chat etc.
Good …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

If you want to watch a user journey through your website with commentary, this tool is the perfect one to use, even if it does take quite a few hours for responses. I think if you want to test specific functions, quickly, there are better tools for doing this. Reviewers are very honest and can be quite harsh, so you need to have an open mind to criticism, as what they say is very useful.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Some reviewers can spend too little time on a test
  • Their audio box can sometimes hide features, like navigation bars
  • It would be useful to be able to specify in more detail the demographic you would like to test

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.

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.

WhatUsersDo provides more detailed and opinion based responses. It can take a few hours more than competitors because of this. I would recommend it if you want to know more about the user journey through your website. I would not recommend it if you want quick feedback about a specific feature, image or copy, as there are tools better suited to this.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • It has helped us to improve our website copy to see how much users understood about our service and what was memorable about it.
  • We have changed the information given on certain pages, as we realised users' opinions about our company became more positive after visiting secondary pages. So for example, we moved project examples to the homepage.
  • We realised that our website did not load properly when using an Internet Explorer browser, so made corrections to this.
