Where do Statsy and DataFast do the same job?
Both connect payments to marketing. DataFast’s site lists revenue attribution, goals, funnels, customer journeys, live visitor monitoring, a cookieless option, Google Search Console keywords, and an API, CLI and MCP server for AI agents. Statsy lists every one of those things too.
If your shortlist is down to these two, it is not because one does attribution and the other does not. Both take payments from the provider rather than from the browser, both show goals and funnels, and both can be queried by an AI assistant through MCP. That is unusual company to be in, and worth saying plainly.
DataFast’s own page, checked September 2026, lists native integrations with Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Polar and Shopify plus a Payment API for other providers. Statsy lists Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Polar and Razorpay webhooks plus a Payment API. Shopify payments are the notable gap on Statsy’s side; Paddle and Razorpay are the notable gap on DataFast’s.
What does Statsy have that DataFast does not list?
Session replays and heatmaps, five attribution models rather than a single rule, a public live globe anyone can open, and a Posts breakdown that names the exact X or LinkedIn post behind a visit. DataFast’s site does not list replays, heatmaps or a globe as of September 2026.
- Session replays and heatmaps. Replays mask form inputs in the browser, are kept 90 days and can be filtered to sessions that paid, refunded, or showed intent and did not buy. Heatmaps show clicks and scroll depth per device and can switch to a revenue view.
- Five attribution models. Last touch, first touch, linear, time decay and position based on the same data, with a lookback from 1 to 365 days. See how Statsy splits credit.
- A public live globe. Visitors appear on a globe with playful avatars, and the view can be shared at
statsy.co/p/your-domain/livewithout a login. Share links show aggregates only, never visitor lists or replays. - Post-level attribution. X wraps each post’s links in its own
t.coshort code and LinkedIn inlnkd.in, so Statsy reports visits, sign-ups and revenue for one post rather than for “X” as a whole. - Paddle and Razorpay webhooks. Useful if you sell through Paddle as merchant of record, or in India.
What is DataFast better at?
Simplicity, a trial without a card, and Shopify. DataFast lists a 14-day free trial with no card required, a Shopify integration, mobile apps for iOS and Android, a React Native SDK and long data retention. It is one focused product from one founder, and it shows in how little there is to learn.
From datafa.st, checked September 2026: a Starter plan at $9 a month with 10,000 monthly events, one website and one team member with three years of data retention, and a Growth plan at $19 a month with 30 websites and 30 team members, five or more years of retention, social media mentions and X links attribution. The trial is 14 days with no card required.
Statsy asks for a card at sign-up. That is a real difference in your favour on DataFast’s side, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Statsy has no Shopify payments integration, no mobile app and no React Native SDK.
Anything not listed on datafa.st is left out of this page on purpose. Where we could not verify a DataFast feature or price from their own site, we say “not published” instead of guessing.
How do Statsy and DataFast compare feature by feature?
The table uses each vendor’s own pages as of September 2026. Both start at $9 a month at 10,000 events. The real choice is between DataFast’s smaller surface and more websites per plan, and Statsy’s replays, heatmaps, models and post-level reporting.

DataFast figures checked September 2026 on datafa.st. “Not published” means we could not find the fact on their own site, not that the feature is missing. Statsy figures come from our pricing page and privacy policy. Both products change often; check before deciding.
Which one should you actually pick?
Pick DataFast if you want the smallest possible revenue-attribution tool, sell through Shopify, run up to thirty sites cheaply, or want to try without a card. Pick Statsy if you also want to watch the sessions that paid, compare attribution models, or sell through Paddle or Razorpay.
- Selling in India and charging in rupees through Razorpay? Statsy handles that webhook and bills you in rupees too.
- Wanting to see a recording of the visitor who bought, or where people stopped scrolling? That is Statsy.
- Wanting one clean screen and nothing else to think about? DataFast is genuinely good at that, and cheaper past a handful of sites.
- Not sure? Both have trials. Run them side by side on the same site for two weeks; neither script interferes with the other.
