The AI Heatmap Tool You've Been Waiting For Is Almost Here
If you've ever stared at a heatmap and thought, "Okay, so users are clicking here... but what do I actually do about it?" — you're not alone.
Heatmaps are powerful. They show you where users click, where they scroll, where they get stuck. But traditional tools leave you hanging. They give you beautiful visualizations and then expect you to reverse-engineer what they mean. "Here's a red hot spot. Good luck figuring out why it matters."
We built UXHeat because we were tired of that.
The Problem With Traditional Heatmap Tools
Let's be honest: the current generation of heatmap tools is broken in three ways.
They're complex to set up. Most tools require you to install tracking scripts, configure filters, set up custom events, integrate with your analytics platform, and jump through authentication hoops. For many founders and small teams, the setup takes longer than getting actual insights. That's backwards.
They hide insights behind noise. You get dozens of heatmaps, session recordings, funnel data, and rage click reports. But they don't tell you what to fix first. You spend hours analyzing, scrolling through recordings, and building your own mental model of what's happening. The tool should do that work, not you.
They're expensive for what you get. Industry leaders like Hotjar start at $299/month for features most small businesses don't need. Their free tier tops out at 1,050 sessions per month — barely enough to understand a single landing page. If you run five pages? You're already paying.
We knew there had to be a better way.
What Makes UXHeat Different
We're building UXHeat around a simple principle: heatmaps should be obvious, actionable, and fast.
AI-Powered Insights (Not Just Charts)
Here's what we're doing differently. Instead of dumping raw heatmaps on you, UXHeat analyzes your user behavior and tells you what to fix — in plain English.
You get insights like:
- "Users are clicking a non-clickable button on your checkout page. Change the styling to make it look clickable, or remove the click target."
- "62% of users scroll past your main CTA without reading it. Move it higher or increase contrast."
- "Users are abandoning right before your form. Consider reducing the number of fields."
These aren't suggestions. They're specific, prioritized recommendations based on AI analysis of thousands of user interactions. No guessing. No 10-hour analytical rabbit holes. Just: here's what's broken, here's why, and here's what to try first.
1-Minute Setup, Zero Configuration
You shouldn't need a PhD to set up analytics. UXHeat takes one minute.
Add a single line of code to your site:
<script src="https://cdn.uxheat.io/tracker.js" data-key="your-key"></script>
That's it. No configuration files. No event setup. No integration steps. It just works.
The script is less than 10KB gzipped (UXHeat is almost 100 times smaller than Hotjar), so it won't slow down your site. It'll be live within seconds. You'll see your first heatmap in under a minute.
A Generous Free Tier That Actually Works
Here's our promise: if you're running a small business or a startup, you should never have to pay for heatmaps.
UXHeat Free gives you 5,000 sessions per month. That's enough to deeply understand 3-4 pages. If you're a solo founder running a single landing page, that's months of data. If you're a bootstrapped startup with a few key pages, that's more than enough to optimize effectively.
Compare that to Hotjar, where 1,050 sessions leaves you guessing after a few days. We built our pricing around what teams actually need — not what maximizes revenue.
For teams that grow beyond 5,000 sessions, we have Pro ($19/mo for 25K sessions), Business ($49/mo for 100K sessions), and Agency plans ($149/mo for 500K sessions). But most small teams will never hit the free tier limit.
What You'll Be Able to Do With UXHeat
When UXHeat launches, you'll have access to:
Heatmaps That Make Sense Click heatmaps, scroll heatmaps, and movement heatmaps — but interpreted through AI that tells you what each one means for your users and your conversion rate. Instead of staring at a red blob and wondering if it's a problem, UXHeat tells you exactly what's happening and why it matters. See where users are clicking, understand if it's helping or hurting your conversions, and get specific fixes you can try today.
Session Intelligence Watch your users interact with your site (with full privacy respect). But instead of spending 30 minutes analyzing each session, UXHeat highlights the 10 sessions that matter most to understand your biggest issues. Our AI watches for patterns: users who got stuck, users who almost converted but didn't, users who represent your ideal customer journey. You get the insights without the busywork.
Rage Click Detection UXHeat flags moments when users are frustrated — clicking frantically, abandoning after errors, or trying to interact with broken elements. It prioritizes these moments so you know exactly where your biggest friction points are. A rage click on a payment button isn't the same as a rage click on a newsletter signup. UXHeat understands the difference and tells you which problems are costing you money.
Conversion Impact Scoring Not all problems are equal. UXHeat tells you which issues are actually hurting your conversions and which can wait. Fix what matters first. You might have 500 clicks on the wrong button, but if those users are still converting, that's lower priority than the three people who abandoned at your payment form. UXHeat does the math so you don't have to.
Plain-English Recommendations Every insight comes with a specific, actionable recommendation. No "users click here a lot" — instead, "users click this non-interactive element frequently; 40% abandon within 5 seconds. Consider adding a CTA button here or removing the click target." Each recommendation includes context: why this matters, how many users are affected, and what to try first.
We're keeping a few features close to our chest for now, but you'll see why people are excited when the product launches. The early feedback from beta users has been enthusiastic, and we're not done yet.
Who UXHeat Is Built For
Startup founders who need to understand user behavior but don't have an analytics team. You're wearing 10 hats already — UXHeat gets out of your way and just tells you what matters.
SaaS makers running experiments on your product and needing fast feedback without enterprise pricing. You need to move quickly, try things, and see what works. UXHeat gives you the insights in minutes, not weeks of analysis.
Agencies and freelancers building sites for clients and needing a tool that gives you insights to sell back. Imagine showing your clients specific, AI-powered recommendations for improving their conversions. That's competitive advantage they'll actually pay for.
E-commerce teams optimizing product pages and checkout flows without breaking the budget. Every percentage point in conversion rate matters, and you need tools that give you ROI. UXHeat's generous free tier means you can run multiple stores affordably, and the AI insights cut your optimization time in half.
Product teams at bootstrapped companies who need to understand what's working without signing up for enterprise contracts and 6-month implementations.
Anyone who's been frustrated by Hotjar's pricing or complexity. If you've ever wondered "why isn't this tool simpler?" or "why am I paying for features I don't use?", UXHeat is built for you.
The common thread: you want tools that solve real problems without getting in the way. UXHeat is that tool.
