Stop Overpaying for Website analytics - Introducing Littlestats

Published Nov 17, 2024

Hey fellow builders! 👋

I built an analytics tool Littlestats, and this is the story of why I built yet another analytics tool (I know, I know - but stick with me here).

The Problem I Faced

Ever launched a side project or small business website? Then you know this feeling:

You’re excited about your new project. You want to know if people are actually using it. So you add analytics.

“Cool, they have a free plan!” 😎

Until you realize:

Want to know where your traffic comes from? That’s premium.

  • Need to track button clicks? Premium feature.
  • Want to see which countries visit your site? You guessed it… premium.

Suddenly that “free” plan feels like a demo, and you’re staring at a $19-$29/month upgrade just to get basic insights about your website.

Sound familiar?

I looked around for alternatives:

  • Google Analytics: Free but privacy concerns and increasingly complex
  • Self-hosted solutions: The option i would generally go for, but didn’t find the time, managing such on your own also sucks.
  • Other SaaS analytics: All seemed to start at range of $19 - $29/month (yeah they do have a higher number of sites/domains, but that way more than my needs)

The Solution: Littlestats

So I built Littlestats with a simple promise:

Everything you actually need from analytics, for the price of a coffee (or maybe two coffee now 😅).

What do MicroSaaS founders actually need?

  • Traffic monitoring ✅
  • Conversion tracking ✅
  • Geographic data ✅
  • Source attribution ✅
  • Custom events ✅

What don’t we need?

  • Machine learning predictions
  • Complex user journey mapping
  • 47 different dashboard views
  • Enterprise-grade features we’ll never use
  • Adding mediocre AI features to justify the price

Why $7

While most analytics tools charge $9-29/month for just 10k-30k hits per month, we’re giving you 50k monthly hits for $7. Simple as that.

We’re keeping it simple and affordable for bootstrappers and indie hackers - no complicated tiers, no enterprise bloat, just clean analytics that help you make better decisions.

The Technical Bits You’ll Care About

  • Less than 2kb script size (your users won’t even notice it)
  • No cookies (GDPR-friendly)
  • First-party data collection (no third-party trackers)

Who’s This For?

  • 🎯 Bootstrapped founders running 1-5 microsaas
  • 🎯 Side-project builders validating ideas
  • 🎯 Indie hackers watching their burn rate
  • 🎯 Small agency owners managing multiple client sites

Who’s This Not For?

Let’s be real:

  • If you need enterprise features, this isn’t for you
  • If you’re doing >50k hits/month, you’ve outgrown us
  • If you need ML-powered predictions, look elsewhere

The Price Breakdown You Actually Care About

$7/month gets you:

  • 5 websites (will increase in the future)
  • 50k hits/month
  • All features included
  • No upsells or hidden fees

A Personal Note

I built this because I needed it. If you’re running small SaaS products or websites, you probably need it too.
