VisitorsToday

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about VisitorsToday.

Getting started

Is this easier than Google Analytics?

Much. GA requires setup, goals configuration, and a lot of squinting. VisitorsToday tracks automatically and explains results in plain English. You don't need a certification to understand your own data.

Do I need to configure anything?

Just paste the script tag. Everything else is automatic — page views, sessions, scroll depth, clicks, referrers. No event schemas, no tag manager, no engineer required.

Does it work on any website?

Yes — any site where you can add a script tag. Next.js, WordPress, Webflow, raw HTML, whatever. It also works with single-page apps (React, Vue, Svelte) out of the box.

How do I install the tracker?

Copy the script tag from your Settings page and paste it before the closing </body> tag. It's one line — no npm packages, no build tools, no tag manager. Events start flowing within seconds.

Privacy & GDPR

Is it privacy-friendly?

Yes. We don't store personal data or use cookies for tracking. Visitors are identified by anonymous session IDs that expire when the tab closes. No GDPR consent banner required.

Do you use cookies?

No. VisitorsToday sets no cookies on your visitors' devices. Session identification uses a randomly generated ID that lives only in memory and expires when the browser tab closes. No persistent tracking, no fingerprinting.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. Because we collect no personal data and set no cookies, VisitorsToday falls outside the scope of GDPR consent requirements. No cookie banner needed — this applies under GDPR, ePrivacy, UK GDPR, and CCPA.

Do you sell data?

Never. Your analytics data is yours. We don't sell it, share it, license it, or use it for advertising. Our business model is building a great product, not monetizing your visitors' behavior.

AI features

How does the AI work?

Our AI reads your analytics data and writes summaries and answers in plain language. It's built-in — no API key needed, no provider to set up. When you ask a question, the system reads your analytics context and streams back a plain-English answer in real time.

Is my data sent to an AI provider?

Only an aggregated analytics summary is sent as context with your question — things like top pages, conversion rates, and traffic sources. Raw visitor-level data is never sent. No IP addresses, no session IDs, no individual event streams.

Can I use AI Q&A without setting anything up?

Yes. AI Q&A is fully built in — there is no API key to paste, no provider to choose, and nothing to configure. Add the tracking script, let data flow for a few minutes, then open the AI tab and start asking questions.

Pricing

What does it cost?

Free forever for up to 10K page views/month on 1 site. Pro is $49/mo (500K page views, unlimited sites, weekly AI digest, metric alerts, funnel builder, CSV export). Business is $199/mo (5M page views, webhooks, API access, saved queries, team seats). No credit card required to start.

Does AI Q&A cost extra?

No. AI Q&A is fully built in and included with your plan. There's no API key to configure, no provider account to create, and no charge per question.

Are there usage limits?

Free: 10K page views/month (1 site). Pro ($49/mo): 500K page views, unlimited sites. Business ($199/mo): 5M page views. Events are always recorded; the limit affects dashboard data access.

Accuracy & reliability

Is tracking blocked by ad blockers?

Some ad blockers will block third-party analytics scripts. VisitorsToday mitigates this: the tracker sends events to /api/ingest on your own domain, which forwards them to our infrastructure. Because the request goes to your domain, most ad blockers don't interfere — giving you significantly better coverage than Google Analytics.

What's the data latency?

Events appear in your dashboard within seconds. No hourly rollup jobs, no daily processing windows, no sampling delays. You see every event, in order, as it arrives.

Does it work with single-page apps?

Yes. The tracker listens for pushState and hashchange events, which covers all major SPA routing approaches. Page transitions are tracked automatically without any router integration required.
