Is there a simpler alternative to Google Analytics for seeing revenue per source?
DataFast is built for exactly that one job: revenue by source, campaign and landing page, on a cookieless first-party identifier, with a Free plan. It is narrower than GA4. If you need broad reporting, explorations or large-team integrations, keep GA4 and run DataFast beside it to compare the revenue view on your own traffic.
Steps
- Install DataFast next to GA4. Add <script defer src="https://datafast.app/js/script.js" data-website-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script> without removing GA4.
- Connect one payment path. Stripe, LemonSqueezy or the revenue API.
- Compare. After some traffic and payments, compare revenue by source in both tools and decide what to keep.
Limits
- DataFast is not a full GA4 replacement: it has fewer reports and integrations by design.
- CSV export and scheduled reports are not available yet.
FAQ
Can I run both?
Yes. The DataFast script is separate from GA4.
Does it use cookies?
The default script uses a first-party identifier kept in the browser's storage for 30 days rather than cookies; whether your jurisdiction needs consent is your decision.
