- Too light for anyone who wants recordings, funnels or visitor-level data

How we grade them
| 2.4GPAFathom AnalyticsFair | 2.4GPAZenovayFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$12.50 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly) covers up to 100k pageviews, which fits a 10,000-visitor site, across 50 sites. That's inside the cheapest quarter of what this category charges, with every feature on every plan. | CPro is $20 a month for 50K events, between the cheaper quarter and the middle, and the price rises with the event slider. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. The 7-day trial needs a card and the plan renews by itself, though Fathom emails you before billing starts. A week is short to judge traffic stats. | CA free plan with 1 website and 10,000 events a month, capped at 350 a day, which a busy site would pass. |
| Features | CPages, referrers, countries, campaigns, events with revenue, Search Console terms and client email reports. It does the page counting job fully, but it's a smaller job than the suites: no recordings, funnels or visitor-level data on record. | BRevenue attribution, session replay, heatmaps, funnels, error tracking and an API cover the whole job of web analytics. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up beyond a small script, or a plugin for WordPress, Ghost and the like. Everything is on one page. | CA tracking script and payment-provider connections to set up, and no store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, no desktop or phone app. It works with WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Next.js and Nuxt, pulls in Search Console and old Google Analytics data, and has an API. | BWeb dashboard, with an API, MCP server and CLI, and links to Stripe, Shopify, WordPress and Webflow. |

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.
