What is Dollar Analytics?
One Dollar Stats is built from my favorite ORM team over at Drizzle. They have created a way to get insights on your website traffic for the price of a big mac meal for an entire year. This is a game changer for small businesses and indie hackers who want to know more about their users but don't have the budget for the big players and want to respect their users privacy.
What features does One Dollar Stats have?
One dollar stats has a lot of features, that you would expect from a more expensive analytics platform. Here are some of the features that I have found most useful:
- Mobile application to check your stats on the go (iOS and Android)
- Custom widgets for dedicated graphs for specific data
- Conversion goals
- Real-time data
Why should you consider using One Dollar Stats?
Look, I could talk about a lot of different reasons why you should pick Dollar Stats over the competition, but one of the main reasons is the team. The Drizzle team are some of the best developers for supporting and building out their products.
Of course I their feature set is perfect for 99.99% of use cases and the price is unbeatable. They also store all the data in their own local database before flushing it to the cloud, so you can be sure that if they have any issues with their cloud storage, your data is still safe.
