What an excellent thread! Data protection and privacy is becoming increasingly important to businesses worldwide and that’s why there are many great alternatives in the marketplace.
We’d love to share a few reasons why we believe Matomo is the best self-hosted alternative to both Hotjar (UX) and Google Analytics (Web Analytics).
Matomo is a powerful web analytics tool that combines UX analysis, engagement measures and web analytics in one comprehensive platform. Our key difference with Hotjar and GA, is that we give you full control over your data by providing you an option to host our analytics platform on your own servers.
This point of difference can not be underestimated, because of our self-hosted option, you can fully protect the privacy of your users instantly - making your business compliant with all important data protection legislation like GDPR or CCPA. Which is why we believe Matomo is the first choice for all data sensitive organisations needing an alternative to Hotjar and GA to protect its own customer’s data rights. We have over 1 million websites already using our tool.
More reasons why we believe Matomo is a great alternative to Hotjar and GA:
- Matomo offers all the important features offered by Hotjar and Google Analytics meaning you have no FOMO when you switch over. Don’t worry, you won't lose any historic GA data.
- Matomo offers a premium feature marketplace and API access which means you can fully customise the tool to your users ever-changing wants and needs.
- Unlike Google Analytics, Matomo On-Premise has no data storage limits, no data sampling, with 100% reporting accuracy.
Why wait? You can download the self-hosted version and try it for free to see if it works for you before committing to the paid features (which you can also try for 30 days with a money back guarantee). For more information, take a look at our comprehensive Hotjar (https://matomo.org/hotjar-alternative/) and GA (https://matomo.org/matomo-vs-google-analytics-comparison/) comparison.
Now you can get a fully functioning Matomo in seconds with the new Matomo Analytics for WordPress plugin.
We're calling all beta testers, WordPress website owners and people interested in web analytics. We'd love if you were one of the first to try it. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
