Hotjar Install Shopify App – Performance, Rankings & Reviews

Hotjar Install has accumulated 89 reviews on the Shopify App Store (+1.1% vs 30 days ago) — an early-stage review base where each new install meaningfully shifts the dataset. It carries a 4.33★ average rating (+0.2% this month) — a strong rating that signals consistent merchant satisfaction. Geographically, United States leads but the install base is globally distributed across many markets (28.6% of reviews).

Hotjar Install is in active growth mode — reviews are coming in faster than the prior period while the average rating holds steady. That's the cleanest "scaling without breaking" pattern: more merchants installing, satisfaction not regressing as scale increases. Useful confirmation for merchants who want a battle-tested-but-still-momentum-bearing app rather than a quiet leader coasting on history.

Hotjar Install's 89 cumulative reviews and 4.33★ rating come directly from the Shopify App Store and refresh weekly. The Top Region KPI uses Hotjar Install's per-country review distribution as an install-distribution proxy because Shopify doesn't publish per-country install counts.

Hotjar Install's adoption from merchants in many countries with United States's 28.6% as the largest single share is a strong "region-agnostic by design" signal — for most Shopify stores this is the easiest geography pattern to default to, with feature, pricing, and support quality mattering more than regional fit.

Review velocity (the slope of Hotjar Install's cumulative line) is one of the strongest leading indicators for Shopify app health. A line still bending upward means recent merchant acquisition is working; a flattening line means the app is maturing into steady-state.
