Hey fellow builders! 👋
I built an analytics tool Littlestats, and this is the story of why I built yet another analytics tool (I know, I know - but stick with me here).
The Problem I Faced
Ever launched a side project or small business website? Then you know this feeling:
You're excited about your new project. You want to know if people are actually using it. So you add analytics.
"Cool, they have a free plan!" 😎
Until you realize:
Want to know where your traffic comes from? That's premium.
- Need to track button clicks? Premium feature.
- Want to see which countries visit your site? You guessed it... premium.
Suddenly that "free" plan feels like a demo, and you're staring at a $19-$29/month upgrade just to get basic insights about your website.
Sound familiar?
I looked around for alternatives:
- Google Analytics: Free but privacy concerns and increasingly complex
- Self-hosted solutions: The option i would generally go for, but didn't find the time, managing such on your own also sucks.
- Other SaaS analytics: All seemed to start at range of $19 - $29/month (yeah they do have a higher number of sites/domains, but that way more than my needs)
The Solution: Littlestats
So I built Littlestats with a simple promise:
Everything you actually need from analytics, for the price of a coffee (or maybe two coffee now 😅).
What do MicroSaaS founders actually need?
- Traffic monitoring ✅
- Conversion tracking ✅
- Geographic data ✅
- Source attribution ✅
- Custom events ✅
What don't we need?
- Machine learning predictions
- Complex user journey mapping
- 47 different dashboard views
- Enterprise-grade features we'll never use
- Adding mediocre AI features to justify the price
Why $7
While most analytics tools charge $9-29/month for just 10k-30k hits per month, we're giving you 50k monthly hits for $7. Simple as that.
We're keeping it simple and affordable for bootstrappers and indie hackers - no complicated tiers, no enterprise bloat, just clean analytics that help you make better decisions.
The Technical Bits You'll Care About
- <2kb script size (your users won't even notice it)
- No cookies (GDPR-friendly)
- First-party data collection (no third-party trackers)
Who's This For?
- 🎯 Bootstrapped founders running 1-5 microsaas
- 🎯 Side-project builders validating ideas
- 🎯 Indie hackers watching their burn rate
- 🎯 Small agency owners managing multiple client sites
Who's This Not For?
Let's be real:
- If you need enterprise features, this isn't for you
- If you're doing >50k hits/month, you've outgrown us
- If you need ML-powered predictions, look elsewhere
The Price Breakdown You Actually Care About
$7/month gets you:
- 5 websites (will increase in the future)
- 50k hits/month
- All features included
- No upsells or hidden fees

A Personal Note
I built this because I needed it. If you're running small SaaS products or websites, you probably need it too.
