Haven't seen that one. Looking at the homepage is looks like a Web 2.0 version of Google Analytics. How is it any different?

  Oh, scrolling down I see a very, very large feature matrix. Hah! It looks like the differentiator is a visitor-centric view? Plus more flexible and customizable data?

    I love the ability to add custom data such as usernames to the tracking system using Javascript. I run a few membership websites and being able to see visitor's usernames and track their actions that way is invaluable.

    Yes, Clicky is more visitor centric, including tracking custom data per visitor, but plenty of good overview data as well. Plus the whole thing is real time, including goals and campaign tracking. Plus a very powerful API. Check out the Spy feature too. GA does a number of things that Clicky doesn't, but the opposite is also true, as you can see by the handy dandy matrix you mentioned. Disclaimer: I am the developer. :P

      Interesting. Looks really nice. I'll give it a shot..
    - jfarmer 18y ago
      Hah, I'll give it a shot. It looks really cool. The matrix isn't that helpful, though. It's pretty big and uses a lot of clicky-specific phraseology.

        I agree, I would recommend paring it down to the most important features/differences than the other offers.

I'm using Clicky and Google. I did a Vs post a few weeks back on the two: http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/01/web-stats-clicky-vs-google-analytics/ http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/01/web-stats-clicky-vs-googl...

The top plan maxes out at 100k page views per day? They don't have anyone bigger than that? That makes me nervous.
- schammy 18y ago
  We allow sites up to 300K daily. The default plans just go up to 100K, but you can create a custom plan also.

    Ah, I see now. I definitely missed that the first time skimming the site (and so did a colleague). I suggest adding a column to the chart on the Learn More page that says that.
    - schammy 18y ago
      It does say that in the paragraph right above the table. For sure, adding another column would make it more obvious, but I feel like that would be overwhelming. I have a problem with the number of columns we have already :)

I don't like that getclicky does not allow specific URLs (i.e. http://www.abc.edu/~username http://www.abc.edu/~username) For the above URL, it cuts it down to http://www.abc.edu/ http://www.abc.edu/
- schammy 18y ago
  Does it really cut off ~ URLs? No one has ever mentioned that to me. I'll look into it. Of course, we normally log full referrers, even dynamic ones, so you can see the actual sites linking to you. It's not such a big issue more recently, but it used to be nearly every tracking service would cut out the query parameters, making referrer tracking not very useful.
