The verdict
Clicky Best for free or multi-site tracking on a budget
Clicky offers a perpetual free tier and a 21-day trial, against Seline's no free plan and 7-day trial. Its $9.99 Pro entry tier is cheaper than Seline's $14, covers 10 sites versus 1, and allows ~900k monthly pageviews versus 100k events. Click heatmaps are available. Trade-off: data is US-hosted and capped at 48 months.
Full profile Seline Best for EU residency and indefinite retention
Seline hosts all data in Germany (EU) and retains it indefinitely, where Clicky stores in the US and caps at 48 months. It ships an official WordPress plugin and unauthenticated public dashboard sharing, both absent from Clicky. The trade-off: no free tier, a 7-day trial, $14 entry price, and 1 site with 100k events.
