Linqry vs Fathom Analytics
Fathom is deliberately simple, cookieless analytics. Linqry adds multi-step funnels and revenue attribution. An honest look at the trade-off.
Fathom is built around a clear conviction: most analytics tools are far more complicated than most sites need. It is cookieless, fast, privacy-focused, and the hosted product is deliberately simple. If that simplicity is what you want, Fathom does it well. Linqry is for the case where you have outgrown it — where you need to see where users drop off in onboarding and which channels actually produce revenue.
The hosted Fathom Analytics product is proprietary. Fathom Lite, an earlier self-hosted version, is open source.
The main hosted product cannot be self-hosted. Fathom Lite is a separate, self-hostable open-source project.
