Website analytics
Free analytics count visits. Memory counts buyers.
Free website analytics are everywhere — pageviews, sources, sessions, for nothing. The missing part is intent: which visitor is about to buy, and what should they see next. That's where Tradly Memory starts.
The landscape
The free website analytics choices in 2026
Each free option solved real problems. Each one leaves the same gap: it describes traffic but can't act on it.
| Free tool | Strengths | The gap |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Scale, funnels, advertising integration | Cookie consent, data sharing, event setup burden |
| Microsoft Clarity | Free replays & heatmaps | Recordings only — no intent, no memory |
| Plausible / Fathom | Cookieless, simple, lightweight | Page views only — nothing to act on |
| Umami / Matomo CE | Self-hosted, data ownership | You run the infra; still page-view depth |
| Tradly Memory (free to start) | Intent, funnels, memory, recommendations | Built for action — not just counting |
The shift
From 'how many' to 'who and what next'
A free analytics dashboard answers three good questions: how many visitors arrived, where they came from, and which pages they hit. Those answers get you started — then they run out.
Funnel truth beats page counts
Knowing a page had 800 views doesn't tell you that 42 visitors searched for your product, reached checkout, and left. Form starts, goal completions, and funnel steps are where revenue hiding spots live — and they need more than a pageview counter.
Intent is the step after counting
Once you know which visitors are close to buying, the next question is what to show them: a comparison, a recovery message, a recommendation. Free counters can't answer that question at all.
