Which one is for you
Pick Fathom Analytics if
- Fits if you're an agency sending traffic reports to many clients

- Not for you if you want to host your analytics yourself, which Fathom doesn't offer
- Too light for anyone who wants recordings, funnels or visitor-level data
- Pricey if traffic grows: $60 a month at 1M pageviews, $200 at 10M, and $10 a month per extra pack of 50 sites

- Watch out: the monthly-billing price wasn't shown, only yearly in euros
- Not for you if you want a session replay, as none is listed

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
