Support
Support description
You can contact support either by live chat (9AM - 11PM EET) and email from Monday to Friday. Support is knowledgable and responsive through chat. Email can take longer and responses can be from different support staff.
The support of Amplitude consists of a ticketing system, an extensive knowledge base, a community and email support depending on your plan.
Hotjar offers extensive documentation and a ticketing support system. Most requests are answered within 1-2 business days, but often faster.
Support is by email and support ticket during regional weekday business hours, with a help center and community forum. Free plan tickets have a 2 business day response target, paying customers 1 business day. A Premium Support add-on gives 24/7 critical support. The FullstoryFree help article lists email support as a paid plan feature, while the support hours article lists a response target for free plan customers.
