Meet a hosting-agnostic alternative to Vercel Web Analytics

Looking for Vercel Analytics alternatives?
Vercel Web Analytics lives inside the Vercel platform: enable it per project, add `@vercel/analytics` or the script route after deploy, and read visitors, page views, and optional custom events beside previews and functions. It avoids cookies by deriving visitors from a request hash that resets daily. Billing rides on collected events across projects, retention is capped by plan (about one month on Hobby, twelve months on Pro, longer with Vercel Web Analytics Plus or Enterprise), Hobby stops collecting after limits with no paid overflow, and UTM breakdowns sit behind the Vercel Web Analytics Plus add-on.
Clics gives your whole team one shared read of the site, wherever it is hosted, without making analytics a project. Visitors, traffic sources, landing pages, goals, conversions, and multistep funnels sit together with a dedicated AI view for referral traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot, with no per-project setup. A tracking script under 5 KB sets no analytics cookies and is designed with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR in mind, so launch-week counts are ones you can trust. Pricing is self-serve, unlimited teammates share one workspace from phone or desktop, the 14-day trial needs no credit card, and human support answers in under 30 minutes.
Why we built Clics differently.
Six reasons teams pick Clics over Vercel Web Analytics.
GDPR-compliant with no cookie banners needed.
Clics is built with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliance in mind from the ground up. The tracker never drops analytics cookies in visitor browsers, so you can skip the consent banner for measurement and stay aligned with privacy rules.
Visitors keep a lighter page load story without another privacy modal to dismiss. Your team avoids wiring consent tooling just to count traffic, and you skip the silent gaps when someone rejects analytics cookies outright.
More accurate data you can actually trust.
Ad blockers and bulky scripts still shrink totals before anyone debates the chart. Analytics bundled with hosting can also go quiet after quotas or behave inconsistently when visitor identity resets on short timers outside your analytics briefing.
Clics ships a lightweight async script under 5 KB with fingerprint-based sessions instead of invasive cookies. Fewer barriers between the visitor and the measurement tag mean more sessions actually appear in your totals, closer to what happened on the site during the week you are reviewing.
Simpler to use from day one.
On Vercel, analytics sits beside projects, environments, domains, and deploy logs. That works when the same people ship code and read traffic, but it adds friction when marketing or leadership only need an answer from last week and do not live inside your hosting account.
With Clics you add one snippet to your site. The setup is the same whether you deploy on Vercel or elsewhere, and everyone reads visitors, sources, goals, and conversions in one dashboard instead of the hosting console. Stakeholders get a straight traffic read without opening the deploy platform.
See exactly how much traffic comes from AI tools.
Vercel Web Analytics surfaces visitors, page views, and optional UTM breakdowns behind Vercel Web Analytics Plus. There is no dedicated view for visits from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, or Copilot.
Clics ships a dedicated AI analytics view so you can monitor visits, conversions, and revenue from AI tools without hand-picking referrers inside generic panels.
Build multistep funnels without instrumenting events.
Funnels usually live inside heavy product-analytics tools. You build a strict event taxonomy, wire up SDKs, and wait for enough data before you can finally see where visitors drop off, a lot of groundwork for one simple question about your site.
Clics puts multistep funnels right in the same dashboard, using the data your pages already collect. Stack as many steps as you want from pages, events, referrers, or UTM parameters, pick a conversion window, and immediately read conversion, drop-off, and time-to-convert at every step, laid out as a clean horizontal or vertical chart with nothing to tag or maintain.
Human customer support, under 30 minutes.
When you need help, you talk to a real person, not a chatbot, not a ticket queue that takes days. Clics offers human customer support with a response time under 30 minutes, so you are never left waiting when something matters.
Good analytics tooling should come with good support. Whether you have a question about setup, need help understanding a report, or want to discuss your tracking strategy, someone on our team will get back to you quickly.
