The short version

  • Fathom is a genuinely good tool for simple, private, cookieless page analytics.
  • Conclick is built for founders who need to know which traffic actually makes money: it adds revenue attribution, real-screenshot heatmaps, auto-detected funnels, and a daily digest.
  • If you run paid campaigns or a Stripe-connected SaaS, Conclick closes the loop between a visitor and a dollar.
Revenue attribution

Ties every Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, or Dodo payment back to the source, campaign, and funnel that earned it.

Real heatmaps

Click maps, scroll depth, and rage/dead clicks on real screenshots of your actual pages.

Auto-detected funnels

Surfaces your single biggest drop-off and the revenue you are losing to it, no manual setup.

Pageview counts never told me which blog post actually drove a sale, or which ad campaign was burning cash on visitors who never converted. I wanted analytics that spoke money rather than vanity, so I ended up building them. That said, I want to give Fathom a fair hearing: it's a well-made tool, and it might be exactly what you need. Here's the honest breakdown.

What They Share

Both Conclick and Fathom are privacy-first analytics tools. Neither uses cookies by default, both are GDPR and CCPA-friendly, and both are designed to let you skip the consent banner in most jurisdictions. Setup is fast: a single script tag and you're collecting data. Neither company sells your data or builds ad profiles. On the fundamentals of ethical web analytics, they're aligned.

Where Fathom Is the Better Choice

Fathom has been doing this longer, and it shows in a few specific places. Their dashboard is minimal in a way that feels deliberate, not lazy. You open it and you immediately see pageviews, unique visitors, top pages, and referrers without having to think. If your goal is to know whether your site is up, which pages people read, and where they come from, Fathom answers that question in under five seconds.

Fathom also has a strong track record and a mature customer base including a lot of agencies and developers who don't run e-commerce or SaaS products. If you're building a portfolio site, a content publication, a documentation site, or anything where the question is 'are people reading this?' rather than 'are people buying this?', Fathom is a cleaner choice. You're not paying for or navigating features you'll never use.

Fathom's pricing is also comparable for low-traffic sites, and their EU isolation option for data residency is mature. If your legal team or enterprise clients have specific data-residency requirements around EU servers, Fathom has a documented answer for that.

The real question isn't which tool is better in the abstract. It's whether your business model requires connecting a visitor to a payment. If the answer is yes, Fathom leaves you with a gap. If the answer is no, that gap doesn't matter.

Where Conclick Goes Further

Revenue Attribution That Actually Closes the Loop

Conclick connects to Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, and Dodo. When someone pays, we trace that payment back to the source, campaign, and funnel step that brought them in. You stop guessing whether your Product Hunt launch drove real revenue or just pageviews. You stop running ads against traffic that never converts. This is the feature I built Conclick for. I was spending money on campaigns with no way to know if any of them made money.

Real-Screenshot Heatmaps and Click Maps

Conclick captures click maps, scroll depth, rage clicks, and dead clicks against real screenshots of your actual pages. Not a recreated DOM, but an actual screenshot of what the page looks like. When you see a cluster of rage clicks on a button that opens a modal, you know the modal is broken before a single user emails you about it. Fathom has no equivalent of this, per their docs as of July 2026.

Auto-Detected Funnels and the Revenue Lost to Drop-Off

Conclick automatically surfaces your single biggest drop-off point in your conversion funnel and quantifies the revenue you're losing to it. Not a list of funnel steps you have to configure manually. The one number that matters most, presented directly. If 60% of people leave at your pricing page, you find out in the dashboard, not six months later after you've shipped three other features.

The Daily Digest

Every day, Conclick sends a summary by email, Slack, Discord, or Telegram. Spikes in traffic, revenue milestones, significant drops: you don't have to log in to know something happened. For a bootstrapped founder who has ten other things open, this is the difference between analytics you actually engage with and a tab you forget about.

Pricing

Conclick starts at $9 per month, or $7 per month if you pay yearly. There's a 14-day free trial with no card required. There's also a one-time lifetime deal option. Fathom starts at $14 per month for up to 100,000 monthly pageviews. At low traffic volumes, Fathom is cheaper. As your traffic grows, Fathom's pricing scales with pageview tiers; Conclick does not tier by pageviews.

Who Should Use What

  • Use Fathom if you want simple, private, fast pageview analytics and don't need to tie traffic to revenue: content sites, portfolios, documentation, agency client dashboards where conversion tracking isn't in scope.
  • Use Conclick if you run a SaaS or ecommerce product connected to Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, or Dodo and want to know which sources, campaigns, and pages actually make you money.
  • Use Conclick if you want to see where users are clicking, scrolling, and dropping off, and want that data tied to revenue rather than just counts.
  • Use Conclick if you want proactive notifications about spikes, milestones, and problems rather than having to remember to log in.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Conclick as privacy-friendly as Fathom?

Yes. Conclick is cookieless, collects no personal data by default, and is designed to work without a consent banner in most GDPR and CCPA jurisdictions, the same baseline Fathom offers. The lightweight script runs on your site without identifying individual users. Revenue attribution works by connecting anonymized session data to payment events, not by tracking personal identifiers across sessions.

Does Fathom have any revenue attribution or heatmap features?

No. As of July 2026, Fathom tracks pageviews, referrers, goals, and basic events. It does not connect to payment processors like Stripe or Paddle, does not generate heatmaps or click maps, and does not detect or visualize conversion funnels. If these features matter to your business, you would need separate tools alongside Fathom.

Can I import my existing Google Analytics or GA4 data into Conclick?

Yes. Conclick supports Google Analytics 4 import so you don't start from zero. It also integrates with Google Search Console to surface keyword and search performance data alongside your site analytics. These integrations are available on all plans.

How does the 14-day free trial work?

You get full access to all Conclick features for 14 days with no credit card required. That includes revenue attribution, heatmaps, funnels, and the daily digest. After 14 days, you choose a plan or your data goes dormant; nothing gets deleted automatically, so you can come back and pick up where you left off.

Which payment processors does Conclick support for revenue attribution?

Conclick connects to Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, and Dodo. When a payment comes in, Conclick traces it back to the traffic source, campaign, and funnel step that drove it. If you use a payment processor not on this list, you can still use the rest of Conclick; revenue attribution simply won't be available for that payment stream.

What does the daily digest actually include?

The daily digest is a summary of the last 24 hours: traffic spikes, revenue milestones, unusual drops, and anything else that crossed a threshold worth knowing about. It goes out by email and optionally to Slack, Discord, or Telegram. The goal is that you can understand what happened to your site yesterday without logging in. You can also trigger a dry-run preview to see what a digest would look like before committing to the format.
