What Glancelytics is
Glancelytics is a privacy-first website analytics service available through the web and an API. It measures traffic without setting or reading cookies or using local storage to identify visitors. The dashboard covers traffic, sources, devices, and live activity, and users can preview it before installing a tracking snippet. The Free and Starter plans cost nothing and cover one website, 1,000 pageviews per month, core analytics, email support, and 30-day retention. Pro costs $19 a month for five websites, 100,000 pageviews, unlimited retention, full analytics, data export, and priority email support. Business costs $49 a month for 50 websites, 1,000,000 pageviews, unlimited retention, data export, API access, custom integrations, and priority support. Its REST API permits 5,000 requests per hour. Higher plans support separate views for multiple domains and subdomains. Free-plan tracking pauses at the pageview limit.
