Migration Steps
Sign up for Zenovay
Create a free account at app.zenovay.com. No credit card required. Add your website to get a tracking code.
Install the Zenovay tracking script
Add the Zenovay script tag to your website. You can run it alongside Hotjar during the transition to compare heatmap data.
Configure heatmap tracking
Zenovay automatically starts collecting heatmap data for all pages. No additional configuration needed. Session replay is also enabled by default on paid plans.
Verify heatmaps and recordings
Visit your website, interact with a few pages, then check the Zenovay dashboard. You should see heatmap data and session recordings within minutes.
Remove the Hotjar script
Once you are satisfied with Zenovay's heatmaps and session replay, remove the Hotjar tracking code from your website. If you also use GA4, you can remove that too since Zenovay includes web analytics.
