Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use BurnTest instead of Hotjar?
They solve different problems. Hotjar shows quantitative behavior data (where users click, how far they scroll). BurnTest gives you qualitative human feedback (why users are confused, what they think of your design). Many teams use both.
Does BurnTest require installing code on my site?
No. Just paste your URL and submit. Our testers visit your live site and record their experience. No scripts, no tracking pixels, no setup.
What can BurnTest tell me that Hotjar can't?
Hotjar can show you that 60% of users leave your pricing page. BurnTest tells you a real person said: 'I don't understand the difference between these plans, so I'm leaving.' That's the insight that drives real improvement.
