Editor's verdict

Hotjar Partner Program suits digital agencies, web development firms, and CRO consultants who recommend optimization tools to their clients. Commission rates scale based on contract commitment: 15% for monthly plans, 20% for annual plans, and 25% for multi-year contracts. Payouts remain active for as long as the referred client maintains a paid subscription. Note that adding sites under an existing agency account does not qualify; clients must register independently via your partner link.

About Hotjar Partner Program

Hotjar was founded in 2014 in Malta by David Darmanin and his co-founders to help digital teams truly understand website user behavior. Before Hotjar, combining heatmaps, session recordings, feedback polls, and user surveys required multiple expensive, enterprise-only tools. Hotjar disrupted the market by consolidating these user experience insights into an affordable, all-in-one software suite. Built specifically for product managers, UX designers, and growth marketers, the company rapidly expanded as a remote-first organization. In recent years, Hotjar joined Contentsquare to further strengthen its global leadership in digital experience analytics and web conversion optimization.
