How Globatics compares.
Fair comparisons with the tools people use today. Every fact about another product has a date and a link to its source, and each page says where the other tool is the better choice. Something out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it.
- Globatics vs GA4The incumbent, freeGA4 is free, everywhere and deeply tied to Google Ads, Search Console and BigQuery. It is built for reports you read later: Google documents realtime as “a few minutes” with no service level, intraday data in 2 to 6 hours and daily data after 12 hours or more. Globatics is built the other way round: live first, with the history computed from the same stream.Read
- Globatics vs PlausiblePrivacy-first, simplePlausible is the reference for simple, privacy-first analytics: a tiny script, a clean one-page dashboard and an EU company behind it. Its realtime view shows counters and lists refreshed every 30 seconds. Funnels, journeys, revenue and the Stats API are on the Business plan, and the self-hosted edition leaves several of them out. Globatics keeps the cookieless model and adds a live layer and the deeper reports, with every feature in the self-hosted app.Read
- Globatics vs FathomPrivacy-first, premiumFathom is a polished, closed-source analytics service with every feature on every plan and EU isolation. Its realtime panel shows how many people are on the site and where they are, and its docs describe data refreshed in 5-minute intervals. In October 2026 it added an AI tab and the Luna assistant. Globatics adds the live map, follow and replay, funnels and friction signals, and you can host it yourself.Read
- Globatics vs Shopify Live ViewLive globe for Shopify storesShopify Live View set the mainstream expectation for a live globe: visitors right now, sales since midnight, a 10-minute cart funnel, a Maximize mode and a Streamer mode. It is built into Shopify and needs no setup. You can hover a dot, but not follow a visitor or replay the day, and Shopify documents that unresolved US locations land at 38°N 97°W and that delays can last 1 to 2 hours at peak. Globatics works on any stack and makes the globe interactive.Read
- Globatics vs DataFastRevenue-first analytics with a globeDataFast is the closest product to Globatics: a real-time 3D globe with visitor avatars since March 2025, an event log that highlights visitors on the map, globe replay of the last 8 hours in 15-minute steps, and payment attribution through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Polar and Shopify. It also ships MCP, a CLI and an API on its $9 plan. Globatics differs on transport and depth: pushed events, follow mode, event-level replay over any range, friction signals, and self-hosting.Read
- Globatics vs HotjarSession replay and heatmapsHotjar is now part of Contentsquare, and hotjar.com/pricing redirects to Contentsquare’s plans. It is a behavior tool: session replay, heatmaps and surveys. Contentsquare’s free tier records a sample of sessions and leaves out frustration signals, and form analysis is on the custom-priced Pro plan. Globatics is a different tool: live web and product analytics that includes rage, dead and error clicks in a small script, without recording sessions.Read
- Globatics vs PostHogProduct analytics suitePostHog is a broad, open-source product suite: analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys and a data warehouse, with a generous free tier and a hosted MCP server. Its web analytics Live tab is in alpha: a feed of the last few minutes that can be sampled on high-volume sites. Globatics is narrower and live first: a globe you can follow and replay, a tiny cookieless script and one self-hosted app with one SQLite file.Read
