# Cool Analytics Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/analytics/cool-analytics/ Hosted-only web analytics that links each payment from a connected payment provider to the visit behind it, priced by monthly events. ## Who it suits A founder who wants each payment from a connected processor — Stripe, Dodo Payments, Polar, Paddle, Creem, Lemon Squeezy or Razorpay — credited to the visit behind it, at a flat price by monthly events, from $3 a month for 10,000 events, with data hosted in Germany. Consider something else if You need a product you can sign up to today: Cool Analytics shows a waitlist and says early access is opening soon, offers a 7-day trial with a card on file, is hosted only, and does not state a SOC 2 or similar audit. ## iScore 60 / 100 (80% interval 53–67), rank 8 of 11 in analytics — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding. inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known. Read this score with care: - Capacity and limits is thin: 0 of 2 criteria are scored, so it sits near the category middle with a wide interval (40–62). Read the interval, not the point. - Documented but not scored, because the page states it as text with no comparable number or a yes/limited/no (a one-time, usage-based or other-vendor price, or a per-site choice): retention_window, sites_included. Read them on the provider page; the score neither rewards nor penalises what it could not compare. Method: https://inetgeek.com/iscore/.
