Hotjar allows you to make yearly payments for your plans either by a manual invoice or automatically through your Hotjar dashboard.
When yearly payments are set up in-app through your Hotjar dashboard with a credit card or PayPal, a 10% discount prior to VAT is added to your bill. Keep in mind that, this feature is currently for those who are on our V2 billing version.

Yearly payment is non-reversible
Once you move to yearly payments, you will not have the option to revert back to monthly payments until the year billing cycle is completed.
Manual invoice payment by bank transfer
Invoice/Bank transfers cannot be done for agencies
Invoicing is only available on a yearly cycle for our Business plans or higher, however, it is not available for agencies or accounts with multiple Organizations.
Customers making yearly payments via manual invoice DO NOT receive the 10% discount available to customers on our V2 billing version that pay in-app via credit card or PayPal.
If you would like to get started setting up a manual invoice payment by bank transfer, reach out to our Sales team for a yearly estimate.
An estimate for the yearly subscription will be sent and once you've accepted, we can share the formal invoice. When we have received a purchase order or payment confirmation of the bank transfer, we will update and lock your yearly subscription for the year.
How do I downgrade once I've paid via a yearly invoice?
Once you’ve paid via invoice, the plan you've subscribed to will be locked within our interface. In order to alter your plan settings, contact our Support team for further assistance.
How can I find my invoices for in-app yearly payments?
Yearly invoices, or receipts, can be viewed by the Account Owner on the Invoices page. You can read more about finding your invoices in How to Find and Download your Invoices.
What other payment methods are available?
Information on other acceptable methods of payment can be found within Payment Methods.
