Switching From Per-Site to Flat-Rate Analytics

If you manage multiple sites on a per-site analytics plan, you have probably done the maths at least once. As your portfolio grows, the per-site pricing scales up while your analytics needs stay roughly the same.

Why people switch

The trigger is usually the second or third site. On a per-site plan, adding a new project means adding to your bill. On a flat-rate plan, adding a site costs nothing.

For indie hackers who ship side projects regularly, this is a meaningful difference. For agencies managing client sites, it can be even more significant — per-site pricing at scale becomes a meaningful line item.

What you keep when switching

When you switch analytics tools, you keep:

All future data from the new tool
Your analytics methodology preferences
Your dashboard familiarity (Antlytics's dashboard is simple enough to learn in five minutes)

What changes

Historical data — Your analytics history from the previous tool does not carry forward. Antlytics starts collecting fresh from the day you install it.

Visitor counts — Different tools use different counting methodologies. Your numbers will differ from your previous tool. Antlytics's cookieless approach often shows more visitors because it sees all visitors, including those who would have declined a cookie consent request.

Pricing structure — Instead of per-site charges, one flat price covers all sites.

Migration steps

Sign up for Antlytics Starter — A$10/month for unlimited sites
Add your first site in the dashboard
Copy the tracking snippet and add it to your first site
Verify data is flowing (network tab → POST to /api/ingest/pageview)
Run both tools in parallel for one week
Add remaining sites to Antlytics
Remove old tracking snippets once you are confident in the new data

FAQ

Will my historical data from the old tool disappear? Your old tool still has your data — you just stop sending new data there. Export a CSV of historical data before fully switching if you want it for reference.

Can I switch mid-month? Yes. Install Antlytics at any point and run it in parallel until you are ready to remove the old tool.

Is there a discount for annual billing? Yes — A$60/year works out to A$5/month, saving A$60 compared to monthly billing.
