Hotjar-specific things to know

Hotjar subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan type. These tips cover important details.

Export your data first
Download your heatmaps, recordings, and survey data before cancelling. This process can take time, so start it early.
Annual plans continue until renewal
If you're on an annual plan, you'll keep access until your billing year ends, even after cancelling.
Free plan option available
Consider downgrading to Hotjar's free tier instead of cancelling completely if you only need basic features.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing and data access.

1. Check your billing cycle

Annual subscriptions may have early termination terms. Monthly plans typically cancel at the next billing date with continued access until then.

2. Export important data

Your heatmaps, session recordings, and survey responses will be deleted after cancellation. Export anything you need to keep first.

3. Consider team access

Other team members will lose access when you cancel. Make sure they've exported any data they need before proceeding.

Alternatives to cancelling your subscription

If cost or features are your main concern, you might be able to adjust your plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Hotjar plan

Hotjar offers multiple pricing tiers, including a free plan with basic features. You might find a lower tier that meets your needs.

  • Basic (Free) - 35 daily sessions, 3 heatmaps

  • Plus - More sessions and unlimited heatmaps

  • Business - Advanced features and higher limits
