European session replay and behaviour analytics
Session replay tools record how visitors actually interact with your site: clicks, scrolls, mouse movement, and in many cases full session playback. Heatmaps show where attention concentrates. These EU-based alternatives to Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and FullStory keep all recording data within European jurisdiction.
Pure replay tools (CUX, Mouseflow, UXtweak) focus exclusively on behaviour analytics. Hybrid tools (Capturly, Contentsquare, etracker, Mirage Analytics, OpenReplay, TWIPLA) combine traditional page-view analytics with session replay and heatmaps in one product, useful when you do not want to run two separate analytics platforms.
OpenReplay is the only fully open-source self-hostable option here. The remaining tools are SaaS only, but all are EU-hosted and operate under GDPR.

Nine EU-based tools provide session replay or heatmaps as an alternative to Hotjar: CUX (PL), Mouseflow (DK), UXtweak (SK), and the hybrid tools Capturly (HU), Contentsquare (FR), etracker (DE), Mirage Analytics (FR), OpenReplay (FR), and TWIPLA (RO). OpenReplay is fully open-source and self-hostable; the rest are EU-hosted SaaS.
Six of the nine EU alternatives to Hotjar have perpetual free plans: Mouseflow (500 sessions/month), UXtweak (15 responses/month), Contentsquare (up to 200k sessions), OpenReplay (free forever when self-hosted), Capturly (free tier available), and TWIPLA (400 pageviews/month).
OpenReplay is the only fully open-source, self-hostable option in this category. It is AGPL-licensed and offers the same core capabilities as Hotjar or FullStory, including session replay, heatmaps, and product analytics, while keeping all data on your own infrastructure.
