About Clicky
Clicky is one of the older independent web analytics services, focused on real-time data and individual visitor detail. Instead of only aggregate charts, it shows each visitor's session, actions, referrer and location as it happens, alongside standard reports for pages, sources, searches and campaigns, plus goals, heatmaps, uptime monitoring, video and audio analytics, and a white-label option for agencies. It can be configured to work without cookies and anonymises IP addresses on request. It suits small business owners and bloggers who like watching live traffic and drilling into specific visits. A free plan covers one website with a small daily pageview limit, new accounts get a 21-day premium trial, and paid Pro tiers are priced by daily pageviews, with discounts for annual billing. The trade-offs are a dated interface, a small free tier, and visitor-level tracking that is more invasive than modern privacy-first tools. It runs in the browser.
Best for: Small sites that want live, visitor-by-visitor traffic detail.
