Comparison

Heatmaps show where, interviews show why

How behavioral analytics and customer interviews work together

Comparison of heatmaps and session recordings, which show where users hesitate, with AI-moderated interviews, which explain why they stopped.
Use the heatmap to find the drop-off, then ask the people who dropped off why.

A side-by-side of what heatmap and session recording tools tell you and what interviews add. Heatmaps and recordings, such as Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity, show where users click and hesitate. Interviews with people who dropped off give the reason. Use it when deciding whether a behavioral tool is enough or whether you need to talk to customers too. Koji runs the interview side with AI-moderated voice interviews.
