Frequently asked questions
Is Hitsteps analytics really free?
Yes. The Free plan covers one website and up to 2,000 pageviews a month, with 14 days of history and no credit card. It does not expire.
What is not included in the Free plan?
Goals, live chat, click heatmaps and uptime monitoring are paid features, and the Free plan keeps 14 days of history. New accounts get a 7-day Pro trial with no card so you can try those before deciding.
What happens if my site goes over 2,000 pageviews a month?
Then the Free plan is too small for that site. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month for 10,000 pageviews and 2 sites. You choose when to upgrade; there is no automatic charge because no card is on file.
How do I install it?
Create an account, copy the tracking code, and paste it into your site. WordPress has a plugin, Shopify has an app, and Google Tag Manager, Wix and a plain script tag also work. Your first visits usually appear within minutes.
Is it a replacement for Google Analytics?
For many small sites, yes: it shows visitors, sources, pages and trends without the Google Analytics setup. If you rely on Google Ads or Search Console integrations built into Google Analytics, keep it alongside. See the comparison page for details.
