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.
Hotjar offers extensive documentation and a ticketing support system. Most requests are answered within 1-2 business days, but often faster.
Chartbeat's support is accessible by email during regular office hours. Overall they provide extensive documentation, but their support staff is responsive and very knowledgable in case you face issues.
Because Open Web Analytics is open source, all documentation is found on GitHub. Apart from the community, there are no support options available.
