Hotjar Alternative

STOP STARING AT HEATMAPS.

Hotjar shows you where people click, scroll, and rage-click. It doesn't tell you what to do about it. CoSt turns the same kind of signal into one specific fix.

The Gap

HEATMAPS SHOW SYMPTOMS, NOT FIXES.

A recording shows you someone hesitated near your pricing table. It doesn't tell you why, or what to change. Someone still has to watch the session, form a theory, and decide what to build — and that interpretation step is where most teams stall out.

What CoSt Does Instead

THE FIX, NOT JUST THE OBSERVATION.

CoSt analyzes the site directly — messaging, positioning, competitor gaps — and outputs the specific change to make. No recordings to review, no theories to form.

The Workflow

WHERE THE STALL HAPPENS.

  1. Hotjar shows a pattern — a hesitation, a rage-click, a drop-off point.
  2. You spend an hour watching recordings and guessing why.
  3. CoSt already scored the fix and told you why it matters — use Hotjar's recordings afterward to confirm it.
FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

Does CoSt replace Hotjar?
No — think of them as sequential, not competing. CoSt tells you what to fix; Hotjar recordings can confirm the behavior CoSt's analysis already flagged.
What if I don't have Hotjar installed?
Not required. CoSt works from your public site and competitor data — no analytics or recording setup needed.
Can I use both together?
Yes — many teams run CoSt first to find the fix, then use Hotjar recordings to validate it before shipping.
