Comparison
VisitTrack vs Piqo
Updated
TL;DR — the verdict
Choose Piqo if…
you want the cheapest possible revenue-aware analytics, your traffic is under 1M events a month, you sell through Dodo Payments or Creem, or you'd like to self-host with a one-time license.
Choose VisitTrack if…
you want to watch session replays and click heatmaps, you have more than 20 sites or 10 teammates, you expect to grow past 1M events, or you want a clear answer on where your data is stored (EU).
What is Piqo?
Piqo (piqo.app) is analytics for founders, makers and small SaaS teams, run by MVP Stack LLC in the US. Its pitch is "dead simple, affordable analytics" that ties every visit to signups and revenue. It's cookieless by default with a daily-rotating hash (with an optional cookie mode and built-in consent banner), and it imports from Google Analytics, Plausible and DataFast.
Feature-wise it's close to VisitTrack: payment attribution for Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Dodo and Creem, funnels, journeys, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, an AI assistants channel, server-side crawler reporting, public dashboards and an official read-only MCP server. One plan covers up to 1M events, 20 sites and 10 team members. Some of its public claims are worth checking: the script is advertised as under 1 KB, but the file we downloaded was about 10 KB gzipped, and its privacy policy and DPA name different hosting locations.

Piqo vs VisitTrack pricing
Monthly list prices, as of October 2026. Piqo: public pricing page. VisitTrack: pricing, yearly billing gives 2 months free.
| Monthly traffic | VisitTrack | Piqo |
|---|---|---|
| 10k events / month | $5/mo | $8 |
| 100k events / month | $19/mo | $8 |
| 1M events / month | $59/mo | $8 |
| 5M events / month | $129/mo | No public plan above 1M |
- Piqo is clearly cheaper up to 1M events: $8/month ($79/year) flat, versus VisitTrack's $5 to $59. That's a real advantage for side projects.
- Piqo also sells a lifetime deal ($149 one-time when we checked, in limited batches). VisitTrack has a lifetime deal too, from $59.
- Piqo's plan is capped at 20 sites and 10 team members, and it doesn't list a plan above 1M events. VisitTrack has unlimited sites and members and public tiers up to 10M events.
- Piqo's trial is 7 days, VisitTrack's 14; neither asks for a card.
What's the difference between Piqo and VisitTrack?
On paper the two overlap a lot: both are revenue-aware, cookieless-capable analytics for founders, both attribute payments from Stripe, Paddle, Polar and Lemon Squeezy, and both have funnels, journeys, Search Console, AI traffic reporting, public dashboards and an MCP server. The differences are depth, limits and price.
VisitTrack's session replays are DOM recordings built on the open-source rrweb recorder — you watch the visit play back, with every input masked — and it has click heatmaps. Piqo describes its replay as a timeline of pages and clicks, and doesn't document heatmaps. VisitTrack's bot filtering scores every visit with documented rules and shows the reason for each flag. And VisitTrack has no site, seat or 1M-event ceiling.
Where Piqo is stronger
- Price: $8/month flat up to 1M events, or a one-time lifetime license.
- Dodo Payments and Creem support, which VisitTrack doesn't have; VisitTrack supports Razorpay instead.
- Built-in importers for Google Analytics, Plausible and DataFast.
- A one-time self-hosted license (Docker + SQLite) if you want to run it yourself.
- Bing Webmaster Tools next to Search Console.
Where VisitTrack is stronger
- Real session replays and click heatmaps.
- Unlimited sites and team members, with per-site access for teammates.
- Published plans up to 10M events a month.
- A documented, scored bot classifier, and AI crawlers verified by reverse DNS.
- One consistent answer on data location: EU infrastructure.
- An MCP server that can also create goals and funnels (with write access), not just read.

VisitTrack vs Piqo: FAQ
Is VisitTrack a good Piqo alternative?
Yes, if you want more depth than Piqo's single plan offers. VisitTrack attributes payments from Stripe, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle and Razorpay like Piqo does for its providers, and adds DOM session replays, click heatmaps, unlimited sites and team members, and plans above 1M events. Piqo is cheaper below 1M events.
Is Piqo cheaper than VisitTrack?
Yes, below 1M events. As of October 2026 Piqo costs $8/month flat for up to 1M events; VisitTrack costs $5 at 10k, $19 at 100k and $59 at 1M. Above 1M events Piqo doesn't list a plan, while VisitTrack goes to 10M at $179.
Does Piqo have session replay?
Piqo describes a per-visitor replay as a timeline of pages, clicks, referrer and device; it doesn't document DOM recording. VisitTrack's replays play the visit back visually, built on the open-source rrweb recorder, with every form field masked.
Where does Piqo store data?
Piqo's own documents disagree as of October 1, 2026: its privacy policy and features page say Hetzner in Germany, while its DPA effective September 23, 2026 names DigitalOcean in Singapore. Ask Piqo to confirm before you sign its DPA. VisitTrack stores analytics data on EU infrastructure.
How big is Piqo's tracking script?
Piqo advertises a script under 1 KB, but the piqo.js file it served on October 1, 2026 was about 29 KB raw and 10 KB gzipped. VisitTrack's tracker is about 5 KB gzipped.
Can I move from Piqo to VisitTrack without losing history?
Partly. You can export views as CSV or read them through Piqo's public API; VisitTrack's historical import needs event-level pageviews and events with timestamps. Running both tools in parallel for a few weeks is the simplest path.
