Developers send signals from SDKs for Apple platforms, Android, React Native, Flutter and the web, then use a visual query editor, funnels, retention and custom dashboards.

## Ways to pay less

- **20% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page's Annual option states a 20% saving over monthly billing. Source: https://dashboard.telemetrydeck.com/plans

## Key features

- **On-device anonymization:** Anonymizes the user identifier on the device and adds platform metadata such as system version, app version and model name automatically.
- **Visual query editor and dashboards:** Build insights visually or with the TelemetryDeck Query Language, and arrange them in custom dashboards and notebooks.
- **Funnels and retention:** Funnel analysis from onboarding to purchase, and retention analysis over time.
- **SDKs and test mode:** SDKs for iOS, macOS, visionOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and websites; test mode keeps development data out of live data.
- **Ingest and query APIs:** A public ingest API and a query API using personal access tokens, which paid plans include.
- **MCP for AI:** Lists an MCP server so AI assistants can work with analytics data.

## Good for

- App developers who want analytics without consent banners
- Indie developers moving off Firebase or App Center
- Teams that need EU-based, privacy-first app analytics

## Worth knowing

- Prices are in euros and the dollar price was not shown.
- The Free plan has no real-time data, and events are processed between once an hour and once a day.
- Only the Indie step (€9 for 750,000 events) was readable; higher self-service tiers go up to 15,000,000 events and are chosen with a slider.
- Annual billing is pre-selected and saves 20%; the annual refund window is 14 days and monthly plans are not refunded.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Nothing TelemetryDeck 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 2.8 is higher than 85 of the 100 other website and product analytics tools we grade. It costs $120.66 a year.

- You could not: A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, RevenueCat, Superwall and Google Tag Manager among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
