Keep DataFast, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing DataFast does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 70 of the 100 other website and product analytics tools we grade. It costs $108 a year.
What you could not
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Shopify and Webflow among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. DataFast’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is DataFast?
DataFast is a hosted web analytics service built around revenue. It connects a payment processor so each sale is attributed to a traffic source, and adds goals, funnels, visitor journeys and live visitors. It offers an MCP server and CLI for AI agents, and plans are priced by monthly event volume.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; the 14-day trial needs no card, after which a paid plan is required.
- Starter covers 1 website and 1 team member; social media mentions and link attribution need Growth.
- If you exceed your event tier, tracking continues but you must upgrade to see the dashboard.
- Data can be imported from Plausible; a Google Analytics import is listed as coming next. The default script may need a cookie banner.
Key features
- Revenue attribution
- Links a payment processor so revenue is attributed to traffic sources and customer segments, including revenue per visitor.
- Web analytics
- Traffic reports focused on what drives growth, as a simpler alternative to Google Analytics according to the vendor.
- Goals, funnels and journeys
- Custom goals such as signups, and the path each visitor takes from first click to conversion.
- Live visitors
- Real-time visitor view with an API for acting on it.
- MCP server and CLI
- Connects to Cursor, Claude Code or Codex so traffic and revenue can be queried in plain English.
- Cookie or cookieless script
- The default script uses cookies; a cookieless script exists but is less accurate for long-term revenue attribution because identifiers rotate about every 24 hours.
