Usermaven

YES

Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.

Website and product analytics aimed at marketers: page views, funnels and cohorts without a data team, and event tracking that does not require someone to instrument the code first.

Promptfree, for everyone, and the only version there is

Build me website and product analytics a non-technical colleague can read.

STACK
- One endpoint, Postgres, a dashboard page

COLLECT
- Page views: path, referrer host, campaign parameters, coarse device bucket
- Events: a name plus JSON properties, sent from a data-track attribute so marketing can add one without a deploy
- Visitor identity a daily-rotating salted hash; never a raw IP

ATTRIBUTION
- Keep the first and the last non-direct referrer per visitor
- Store campaign parameters on the first view of a session only

FUNNELS, WITHOUT SQL
- A funnel is a saved ordered list of event names and a window
- The dashboard builds the query; the reader picks names from a dropdown of what has actually been seen

COHORTS
- Group visitors by the week they were first seen, then count who came back in each later week

THE DASHBOARD
- Plain English labels, one number per card, and a chart under each
- Every figure computed at query time

Include the schema, the funnel builder and the cohort query.

What you lose

Funnels and cohorts presented so somebody who does not write SQL can use them
Attribution across channels already stitched together
Automatic event capture, so a new button is measurable without a deploy
A single script covering both site and product analytics

If you would rather not build
