DataFast alternatives: what else does revenue analytics
DataFast is web analytics that ties sales to the channel that brought them, from $9 a month. Plausible Business, Fathom, Umami and Stickybeak offer revenue tracking. Simple Analytics is another option for traffic reports. Stay with DataFast if you need its native payment connections.
TL;DR
- DataFast lists two plans, Starter at $9 a month (1 site) and Growth at $19 a month (30 sites) at 10k events a month, rising to $169 and $339 at 10M, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.

It depends on why you are leaving. For revenue by traffic source, Plausible's Business plan, Fathom, Umami and Stickybeak list revenue or ecommerce tracking. For plain traffic reports at a low price, Plausible and Simple Analytics are simpler. For the same job with native payment connections, DataFast itself lists Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar and Shopify.
