Hearback for Agencies: Drop-in feedback & NPS widget, self-hosted

Drop-in feedback & NPS widget, self-hosted. Unlimited responses, one-time price.

Agencies pay per-seat and per-client fees that scale with their success. Self-hosted, pay-once tools replace per-seat pricing with a flat cost that margins actually survive.

The tool this job usually means renting is Hotjar, at $32/mo — roughly $384 a year, every year. Hearback does the job for a one-time $79 — running on infrastructure you control.

FAQ

Agencies ask

Is Hearback worth it for agencies?

Three months of Hotjar costs more than Hearback does once. Everything after that is free. Hearback costs $79 once; Hotjar charges $32/mo — about $384 a year. For agencies, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/feedback-widget-mvp. $79 buys the packaged version, 1-click setup and updates.

Does it do heatmaps or session recordings?

No — and we'll be straight about that. Heatmaps and recordings are Hotjar's other half, and Hearback doesn't attempt them. If you need to watch session replays, keep Hotjar. If what you actually use is surveys and feedback, Hearback covers it for 1/12th of one year's bill.
