Introducing UXHeat: AI-Powered Heatmaps That Tell You What to Fix

Today, we're officially launching UXHeat — a heatmap and session recording tool built from the ground up to solve the biggest problem in user analytics: too much data, not enough insight.

Traditional heatmap tools show you where users click. They show you colorful blobs and let you watch hours of session recordings. But then what? You're left staring at visualizations, trying to figure out what they mean and what to do about it.

We built UXHeat to answer the question that every other tool leaves unanswered: "What should I actually fix?"

The Problem We Solved

After years of using tools like Hotjar, Crazy Egg, and Microsoft Clarity, we noticed a pattern. Teams would spend hours:

1. Setting up complex tracking configurations
2. Waiting for data to accumulate
3. Staring at heatmaps trying to interpret what they mean
4. Watching dozens of session recordings hoping for insights
5. Building spreadsheets to prioritize what to fix
6. Still guessing about what actually matters

The tools were powerful, but they required an analytics background to use effectively. For founders, small teams, and busy product managers, the learning curve was too steep and the time investment too high.

We asked a simple question: What if the tool just told you what's broken?

How UXHeat Works Differently

UXHeat uses AI to analyze your user behavior data and surface actionable insights automatically. Here's what that means in practice:

AI-Powered Recommendations

Instead of showing you a heatmap and leaving you to interpret it, UXHeat analyzes the data and delivers specific, prioritized recommendations:

• "Users are clicking your pricing toggle 340 times but not converting. Test making the monthly price more prominent."
• "62% of users scroll past your main CTA without stopping. Move it above the fold or add visual contrast."
• "Mobile users are rage-clicking your hamburger menu. It's not responding fast enough — check your JavaScript."

Each recommendation includes the number of users affected, the estimated conversion impact, and a specific suggestion for what to try. No interpretation required.

Plain-English Insights

Every data point in UXHeat comes with context. You won't see "347 clicks on Element A" — you'll see "347 users clicked your non-clickable product image, expecting to zoom in. 23% of these users abandoned within 10 seconds. Consider adding a zoom modal or making images clickable."

This matters because context determines action. A high click count isn't inherently good or bad — it depends on what users were trying to do and whether they succeeded.

Priority Scoring

Not all problems are equal. A broken checkout button is more urgent than a confusing tooltip. UXHeat automatically scores issues by estimated conversion impact, so you know what to fix first.

The priority score considers:

• User volume: How many people are affected
• Conversion proximity: How close the issue is to a conversion action
• Severity: Whether users abandon, retry, or continue despite the issue
• Recency: Whether the problem is getting worse or better

1-Minute Setup

Most heatmap tools require extensive configuration. Define your events. Set up your funnels. Configure your sampling. Integrate with your analytics. Wait 48 hours for data.

UXHeat takes one minute.

Add a single line of code:

<script src="https://cdn.uxheat.io/tracker.js" data-key="your-key"></script>

That's it. No configuration. No event setup. No waiting. UXHeat starts tracking immediately and shows your first insights within minutes.

The script is less than 10KB gzipped — nearly 100 times smaller than some competitors — so it won't slow down your site.

What's Included

Heatmaps That Make Sense

Click heatmaps, scroll heatmaps, and movement heatmaps are table stakes. What sets UXHeat apart is the interpretation layer. Every heatmap comes with AI-generated analysis explaining what the patterns mean and what you should do about them.

See a hot spot on a non-clickable element? UXHeat flags it and suggests adding interactivity or changing the design to reduce false affordance.

Session Intelligence

Session recordings are powerful, but watching them is time-consuming. UXHeat's Session Intelligence feature automatically identifies the most important recordings to watch:

• Sessions where users experienced friction
• Sessions from users who almost converted but didn't
• Sessions that represent common user journeys
• Sessions with unusual behavior patterns

Instead of watching 50 random recordings, you watch the 5 that matter.

Rage Click Detection

When users click frantically on something that isn't responding, that's a rage click. It means they're frustrated. UXHeat detects rage clicks automatically and prioritizes them by severity — a rage click on a payment button matters more than a rage click on a newsletter signup.

Dead Click Detection

Users clicking on non-interactive elements (dead clicks) often indicates confusing UI. Something looks clickable but isn't. UXHeat identifies these patterns and helps you either make elements interactive or redesign them to look non-interactive.

Error Tracking

JavaScript errors break user experiences. UXHeat captures errors in context, showing you exactly what users were doing when something went wrong. No need for a separate error tracking tool for basic error visibility.

Pricing That Respects Your Budget

We believe small teams shouldn't have to pay for heatmaps. Our free tier includes:

• 5,000 sessions per month — enough for most small sites
• All core features — heatmaps, recordings, AI insights
• Unlimited team members — no per-seat pricing
• No credit card required — truly free to start

For teams that need more, we offer straightforward pricing:

| Plan | Sessions/Month | Price | |------|----------------|-------| | Free | 5,000 | $0 | | Pro | 25,000 | $19/mo | | Business | 100,000 | $49/mo | | Agency | 500,000 | $149/mo |

Compare that to Hotjar's pricing, where the entry-level paid plan starts at $32/month for just 100 sessions per day (about 3,000/month). Our Pro plan costs less and gives you 8x the sessions.
