What is Howuku?
It’s a set of tools that helps increase conversion rates on the website. With this, you can use heatmap tracking, advanced visitor session recording, and more as an alternative to hotjar and crazyegg.
However, this field is getting competitive, so there other solutions too, such as Microsoft clarity (free), Yandex Metrics (free) & 66 Analytics (Paid self-hosted but unlimited).
To differentiate, the founder tried to create his version without any white-labeling and included a reliable user back alternative.

Cons
- I am still experiencing some bugs on Survey Widget & Values.
- There free alternatives for heatmap & recording such as Microsoft clarity, Yandex Metrics & 66analytics (Self-hosted)
Conclusion
Overall it contains useful tools that help you understand your audience, measure their action, and split test & optimize any elements within any website.
Still, it’s not an essential SaaS or deal since most can use free alternatives, which, even though it does not offer all the functionalities of this SaaS but will suffice most of you.
My favorite features were the feedback widget since it was a great alternative who missed userback, visitor session recording to see what visitors are doing (It’s fun) & AB testing to test and change any elements within a webpage.
