Comparison
Produl vs Fathom Analytics
Fathom is a respected privacy-first analytics tool. But it starts at $15/mo with no free tier, and lacks revenue tracking, a live world map, and custom alerts. Produl offers all of that — and lets you start free.
- • A genuine free tier with no time limit
- • Lower cost at equivalent or higher pageview volumes
- • Live world map with real-time visitor geography
- • Stripe revenue tracking integrated into the dashboard
- • Custom alerts when traffic or revenue hits a threshold
- • You want a tool with a longer track record and established user base
- • You specifically need EU-hosted data with their EU isolation option
- • You prefer a company that has been privacy-first since 2018
- • Simplicity over features is your top priority

Where Produl goes beyond Fathom
- ✓Start free, upgrade as you grow
Fathom requires a paid plan from the first pageview. Produl's free tier covers small sites completely — no trial timer expiring after 14 days. You only pay when your traffic demands it, making Produl accessible for side projects, open-source sites, and early-stage products.
- ✓Revenue tracking — know which traffic converts
Connect Stripe to Produl and see exactly which pages, referrers, and campaigns drive revenue — not just pageviews. Fathom shows you traffic data; Produl shows you what that traffic is worth.
- ✓More features at a competitive price
Produl includes features Fathom simply doesn't offer: a live world map, custom alerting, and automated workflows — all at a lower starting price point. If you want more than bare-bones analytics without paying premium rates, Produl is the stronger choice.
