The best analytics solution for indie hackers and solo founders. Track what matters, respect user privacy, and don't break the bank. Starting at $9/month.
Web Analytics for Indie Hackers
As an indie hacker, you're building in public, shipping fast, and watching every dollar. You need analytics that:
- ✅ Tells you what's working so you can double down
- ✅ Doesn't cost $99/month because you're bootstrapped
- ✅ Takes 2 minutes to set up because you're coding, not configuring
- ✅ Respects user privacy because your users are developers too
TrackFox is built for indie hackers like you.
Why Indie Hackers Need Different Analytics
You're Not a Fortune 500 Company
Most analytics tools are built for enterprises with:
- Dedicated analytics teams
- $50k+ marketing budgets
- Legal departments to handle GDPR
- Weeks to implement complex tracking
You have:
- ⏰ Limited time (you're solo or small team)
- 💰 Limited budget (bootstrapped or ramen profitable)
- 🎯 Different goals (validate, grow, monetize—fast)
- 🛠️ Hands-on building (you're shipping, not managing vendors)
What Indie Hackers Actually Need from Analytics
1. Revenue Tracking, Not Just Traffic
Traffic vanity metrics don't pay the bills.
You need to know:
- 💰 Which traffic source drove your first paying customer
- 💰 Which landing page converts to paid plans
- 💰 Revenue per visitor by channel (organic, Product Hunt, Twitter)
TrackFox shows you:
- Revenue by source (see which /r/indiehackers post drove sales)
- Revenue by campaign (did that Product Hunt launch pay off?)
- Revenue per visitor (optimize for $$ not clicks)
2. Conversion Funnels
Who cares what a pageview is, you only care about funnels and user journey:
Landing Page → Sign Up → Onboarding → First Value → Paid Plan
You need to know:
- Where do people drop off?
- Which onboarding step loses users?
- What % of trial users convert to paid?
TrackFox includes funnels (no $999/month upsell like Mixpanel).
3. Simple Setup (< 5 Minutes)
You're not spending a week integrating Google Analytics 4.
TrackFox setup:
npx trackfox add
Done. Start getting insights in 2 minutes.
4. Affordable ($9/month, Not $99)

All features included. No enterprise upsells.
