TrueVisit vs Fathom Analytics

Fathom does simple privacy analytics very well. It is not built to tell you which traffic source sent bots, and does not claim to be.

The short answer

Fathom is a good choice if you want a clean, fast, privacy respecting replacement for GA4 and nothing more complicated. TrueVisit is not a replacement for it, it answers the question of how much of your traffic was real and where the rest came from.

What Fathom does better

  • A longer track record and a reputation for uptime.
  • The custom domain proxy that gets around ad blockers, which TrueVisit has planned but has not built.
  • A simpler product for someone who wants one number a day and no detection vocabulary to learn.
