Fathom Analytics vs Tinylytics (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Fathom Analytics if

• Fits if you're an agency sending traffic reports to many clients
• Works for bloggers and small businesses who want stats without a cookie banner

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try it without handing over a card, as the 7-day trial needs one and renews itself
• Tight if you track lots of custom events, as they eat into your pageview allowance across all sites
• 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

Pick Tinylytics if

• Fits if you run a couple of small sites and want stats and uptime checks cheaply
• Works for a hobbyist who wants a public stats page

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, as only the 14-day trial is free
• Too light for SEO audits, team access or spike alerts on Zen, which are Ultra at $29
• Tight if a site passes 1 million hits a month, since fair-usage terms apply and the vendor may contact you
• Watch out: pricing is read from the homepage, as there's no pricing page

Fathom Analytics

No cookies or consent banner

Counts visits without cookies and anonymizes data with hashes and salts, so the vendor says no analytics consent banner is needed. EU visitor data stays in the EU.

Single-page dashboard

Pages, referrers, countries, devices and UTM campaigns on one page, in real time, with saved filtered views and milestones marked on the chart.

Events and revenue

Tracks sign-ups, form submissions and purchases as events, with a value and currency so sales totals show beside counts.

Client reports and sharing

Weekly or monthly email reports covering one or several sites, and dashboards shared publicly or behind a password.

Google Analytics and Search Console

Imports historical GA4 data and shows Search Console terms, clicks, impressions and positions beside your traffic.

Tinylytics

Cookie-free analytics

Counts visits, not people: no cookies, fingerprinting or cross-site tracking. Unique hits use rotating salts, and data is hosted in Europe.

Uptime and SSL monitoring

Checks a site from several regions every 10 minutes and emails when it goes down, returns or has a certificate problem. Ultra can check as often as every minute.

Content checks

Crawls pages on a schedule to flag broken links and mixed content. Ultra can add AI spell checking of visible page text.

Events

A data attribute on any button, link or form records clicks, downloads and sign-ups next to page views, with no tag manager.

Insights, reports and public stats

Opt-in traffic insights, a weekly email report and public stats pages, plus filtering by date, path, referrer, country, browser and platform.

Webhooks, API and export

Real-time webhooks for hits, kudos and monitoring events with signed payloads, a full API and CSV export of all data.
