Hotjar Feedback Alternative: Simple Feedback Widget
Hotjar (now part of Contentsquare) is a behavior analytics suite: heatmaps, session recordings, surveys and feedback. If all you need is to hear from your users, F-Pulse App does that one job with less setup: one script tag, a feedback button, and a dashboard that tracks sentiment and turns comments into concrete suggestions.
1,000 feedbacks a month free. No credit card required.
