Our story

We're building the analytics tool
we always wished existed.

Clicktics started in 2023 with a simple frustration: every "all-in-one" analytics tool was either too heavy, too fragmented, or too expensive. So we built one that's ~24KB, does everything in one dashboard, and starts at $0. Today, 12,000+ teams in 80+ countries use it to understand their visitors.

Gzipped SDK — replaces four tools
Our mission

Make world-class analytics accessible to every team — not just enterprises with $299/mo budgets.

For too long, the analytics industry has been split in two. On one side: cheap tools that record sessions but nothing else. On the other: enterprise platforms that cost more than a junior engineer's salary. The middle ground — affordable, complete, privacy-respecting analytics — was empty.

We built Clicktics to fill that gap. Our ~24KB SDK replaces Hotjar, Lucky Orange, FullStory, and LiveChat in a single line of script. You get HD session replays, live chat, lead management, funnel analytics, console error capture, and traffic attribution — without paying four separate subscriptions, without slowing your site, and without compromising visitor privacy.

We're a remote-first team of 18 engineers, designers, and support humans spread across 7 countries. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and answerable only to our customers. No VC money. No growth-hacking. No dark patterns. Just a tool we'd want to use ourselves.

What we believe

Six values we hire, ship, and support by

Performance is a feature

Every byte matters. We obsess over our ~24KB SDK size the way other teams obsess over conversion rates. A faster tool means a faster customer site means higher customer conversions. It's a virtuous loop.

Privacy by default, not by add-on

No cookies required. PII masking at the SDK level. EU data residency on every plan. GDPR, CCPA, PIPL compliant. We don't sell data, we don't share data, and we never will. Privacy isn't a paid tier — it's the foundation.

Multi-website from day one

Most analytics tools were built for one website and then retrofitted for agencies. Clicktics was multi-website from the first commit: 3 sites on Pro, 10 on Agency, and unlimited on Enterprise — all from one workspace.

Built by engineers, for engineers

We ship a public roadmap, a developer API, webhooks, CLI tools, and self-hostable SDK. We answer Stack Overflow questions ourselves. We publish post-mortems when we break things. We treat customers like peers.

Support is a product, not a cost center

Every customer — free or enterprise — gets the same support. Average first response: 38 minutes. We don't outsource. We don't gate "priority support" behind a $500/mo plan. If you're stuck, we help.

Boring is good

We don't chase trends. We don't pivot. We don't AI-wash our product. We just keep making the same thing — faster, more private, more useful — every single week. Slow and steady wins the analytics race.

How we got here

Three years, one obsession

2023 · Q1

The frustration begins

Co-founders Anya and Marcus run a 12-site agency. They pay $890/mo across Hotjar, Lucky Orange, FullStory, and LiveChat. Page weight balloons by 200KB. They start sketching a replacement on weekends.

2023 · Q3

14KB or bust

Six months of aggressive tree-shaking, custom DOM mutation tracking, and zero-dependency code later, the SDK ships at 13.8KB gzipped. Friends-and-family beta opens to 50 agencies.

2024 · Q2

Public launch

Clicktics launches on Product Hunt. Hits #1 product of the day. 2,000 teams sign up in the first week. The 14KB claim goes viral on Hacker News. Server holds.

2024 · Q4

Live chat ships

The most-requested feature launches: real-time live chat with full session replay context. The widget adds only 6.4KB to page weight. Lucky Orange refugees start migrating in droves.

2025 · Q2

Lead management & funnels

We replace your CRM-lite. Auto-captured leads, behavior scoring, drag-and-drop pipeline, and UTM source attribution. Free plan grows to 1,000 sessions/month.

2025 · Q4

12,000 customers & profitable

We hit 12,000 paying customers across 80+ countries. We're still bootstrapped, still profitable, still 18 people. We open our first EU data residency region in Frankfurt.

2026 · planned

Heatmaps 2.0 + mobile SDK

AI-assisted heatmap clustering, native iOS/Android session replay SDKs, and a BigQuery sync connector. Because boring is good, but standing still is not.

How we're funded

Bootstrapped. Profitable. Independent.

We've taken zero outside investment. Clicktics is funded entirely by paying customers and is profitable since Q3 2024. That means we answer to you — not to VCs who need a 10× exit. We can take our time, ship the right features, and say no to growth-hacking.
