Datafast

Revenue-first analytics that shows which marketing channels actually bring paying customers.

Datafast is a revenue-first analytics platform built for indie hackers, solo founders, and small marketing teams who are tired of staring at vanity metrics. While Google Analytics tells you how many people visited, Datafast tells you how many of those people paid — and exactly which marketing channel, traffic source, or campaign sent them. Built by Marc Lou (2023 Product Hunt Maker of the Year), it installs in under 2 minutes with a 4KB script and integrates directly with Stripe, LemonSqueezy, and Polar to connect your traffic data to actual transaction data.

Editor's Verdict

Datafast is the right analytics tool for a very specific type of operator — the solo founder or small team running a Stripe-based business who wants to know, in one screen, which marketing channels are generating revenue, not just traffic. If that is you, it is one of the best value tools in the market. If you need heatmaps, session recordings, A/B testing, or behavioural product analytics, look at PostHog instead.

Pros & Cons

Strengths
The revenue attribution feature is genuinely unique at this price point — knowing which channels bring paying customers (not just visitors) changes how founders allocate marketing budget
Installs in under 2 minutes — a realistic benchmark, not marketing copy. One script tag and you're tracking
Multi-site dashboard makes it the strongest analytics tool for indie hackers managing multiple products simultaneously
Cookieless GDPR compliance out of the box — no additional setup or consent management required
14-day free trial with no credit card is rare in the analytics space and signals genuine product confidence
Weaknesses
No heatmaps or session recordings — understanding what users do on a specific page requires an additional tool
Limited dashboard customisation — you see what Datafast decides you should see, not a configurable reporting environment
Event-based pricing means costs can be unpredictable on high-traffic days or viral content moments
Best suited for businesses with Stripe or LemonSqueezy — the revenue attribution advantage disappears if you use other payment processors
Not the right tool for product teams who need behavioural cohort analysis, A/B testing, or feature flag management
