Statcounter

Web analytics focused on real-time visitor tracking and individual visitor journeys

Visit Statcounter

Statcounter is a web analytics service that tracks website visitors in real time. It addresses the limitations of aggregate-only reporting by letting users watch a live feed of visitors as they arrive, follow individual visitor navigation paths, and replay recorded sessions. Setup involves inserting a small code snippet into a website, with installation guides available for over 70 platforms.

Its main features include interactive heatmaps, session replay, a live visitor feed, visitor paths, visitor alerts, visitor labels, conversion tracking, paid traffic analysis, and click fraud detection. It integrates with Google Ads and Google keyword data, and offers summary stats, custom email reports, powerful filters, data export, and mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

Statcounter is designed for website owners and marketers who want to understand visitor behavior and identify friction points. It offers a free 30-day trial with no credit card required, and users can downgrade to a free plan at any time. Paid plans start from a monthly rate, and the service supports multiple projects and users.
