Overview

Clicky is a real-time, privacy-friendly web analytics product from Roxr Software in Portland, Oregon, in the market since 2006. It is built around live per-visitor logs — showing visitors and pageviews as they happen — and tracks cookie-free by default since a 2022 privacy update, so the vendor states no consent banner is required and claims GDPR compliance.

Paid plans start at $9.99/month (Pro), which covers up to 10 sites and a soft limit of roughly 900k monthly pageviews, alongside a perpetual free tier (1 site, ~90k/month) and a 21-day premium trial. The feature set is broad: custom events, goal and conversion tracking, funnels, revenue tracking, scheduled email reports, a Stats API with full JSON/CSV export, and 48 months of data retention. Heatmaps are included but require the higher Pro Plus tier.

It is a proprietary, cloud-only SaaS with no self-hosting option, and its data is stored on US infrastructure.

Best for

Teams that want live, real-time per-visitor logs rather than batched daily reports.
Privacy-conscious sites wanting cookie-free tracking by default with no consent banner and a stated GDPR posture.
Buyers wanting a broad toolset at a low entry price: $9.99/mo Pro adds funnels, goals, revenue tracking, and a Stats API with full data export.
Sites wanting to start free: a perpetual free tier covers 1 site at ~90k pageviews/month, plus a 21-day full-feature trial.

Less ideal for

Teams that need heatmaps on the cheapest plan — heatmaps require the higher Pro Plus tier, not the entry Pro plan.
Organizations requiring EU data residency — Clicky stores data on US infrastructure.
Buyers who want to self-host or run open-source analytics — Clicky is proprietary and cloud-only.
Teams migrating off Google Analytics that need their history — there is no official GA import path.
Anyone needing an official WordPress plugin or a no-login public dashboard — the WP plugin is third-party and stats viewing requires authentication.
