Formleak vs Hotjar
The short answer: Hotjar is now part of Contentsquare's experience platform (heatmaps, recordings, surveys). New Hotjar accounts can't be created. Formleak does one thing: which form field makes people give up, and how to fix it. Hotjar is best for large companies that want a full experience-analytics suite and can buy a custom plan; Formleak is best for small businesses, marketers and agencies who want the answer without watching recordings.
