About Pelagic Analytics
Pelagic Analytics is a simple, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics that combines real-time visitor tracking with revenue attribution and an AI-powered SEO agent. It is designed for founders and small teams who want actionable insights without the complexity of traditional analytics platforms. The tool launched on Product Hunt and is actively acquiring early users.
What It Is
Pelagic is a web analytics SaaS that tracks pageviews, custom events, and sessions without cookies, meaning no consent banner is required and it is GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant out of the box. Beyond standard analytics, it ships with an AI SEO Agent that researches keywords daily, writes publication-ready articles, and can publish them automatically via WordPress, webhooks, or an article feed. The tracking script is under 1KB and loads asynchronously with a single line of HTML.
Core Analytics Capabilities
Pelagic surfaces the data points that connect traffic to revenue rather than just raw pageview counts:
- Real-time dashboard — live session feed showing visitor location, referral source, and current page with no sampling or delay
- Revenue attribution — integrates with Stripe, Paddle, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy to tie MRR and purchases back to the traffic source that drove them
- Core Web Vitals — tracks LCP, CLS, and INP on real traffic
- Live globe — interactive real-time world map showing where visitors are arriving from
- AI Chat — natural-language interface to query your analytics data (e.g., "Which pages turn visitors into customers?")
- Visitor profiles — individual-level session data without storing personal information
- Public page — shareable read-only dashboard link
The AI SEO Agent
The AI SEO Agent is positioned as the flagship differentiator. According to the product page, it runs daily and follows a five-step workflow: assessing the site, selecting the best keyword opportunity by search volume and difficulty, writing an intent-matched article (typically around 1,400–1,500 words with FAQ sections), running a quality check on heading structure and coverage, and then either queuing the draft for review or publishing automatically in Autopilot mode. The agent also monitors AI search visibility — checking whether assistants like ChatGPT or Perplexity recommend the site — and writes content to improve that answer.
Setup Path
Installation requires pasting a single <script> tag into the page <head>, or using a CLI/node integration. The script is under 1KB and loads asynchronously. Revenue attribution is activated by connecting a payment provider (Stripe, Paddle, Polar, or Lemon Squeezy). No code changes beyond the script tag are needed for core analytics.
How It Compares
The product page includes a self-published comparison table against Google Analytics, Plausible, and Datafast. According to that table, Pelagic is the only tool in the comparison that offers AI chat with analytics data and Core Web Vitals tracking alongside cookieless operation. The script size is listed as under 1KB versus approximately 45KB for Google Analytics and approximately 1KB for Plausible.
