Drop-in feedback & NPS widget, self-hosted. Unlimited responses, one-time price.
Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.
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.
A single script tag. Self-contained JS + CSS in a shadow DOM, so your site's styles never leak in and the widget never leaks out.
For freelancers, one-line embed pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $79, not metered per month.
1–5 emoji rating, Issue / Idea / Praise category, message, optional reply email.
For freelancers, feedback form pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $79, not metered per month.
The classic 0–10 with a follow-up question — shown once per visitor with a frequency cap enforced in the browser and on the server.
For freelancers, NPS surveys pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $79, not metered per month.
One-time $79 for the packaged version with 1-click setup and updates.
Copy the embed from the Widget tab into any site — the shadow-DOM widget can't clash with your CSS.
Responses land in your inbox with full context; NPS trends chart themselves; export everything to CSV whenever you like.

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.
