What HN said

What people liked

Objections

  • Too expensive for side projects and small sites

    From 3 comments
    • I wish there was a lower price brackets for smaller side projects / app etc. Something like a "pay-as-you-go" sort of price, as in, 50$ per 10000 views but not capped to a month.…

    • I have some side-projects that have a few pageviews a day and make a few dollars a month. They would be a perfect way for me to try out your service and keep it in mind for…

    • Seems a bit expensive to me. How do you justify the high prices compared to other analytics tools?

  • Product purpose unclear from the site

    From 2 comments
    • I would have put a volument solution dashboard applied to the volument website itself somewhere prominent to demo how it works, plus if it's real time enough it would be ultra…

    • I second this. I'd love to try it out on some low-volume side projects before recommending it to some of the larger sites I work on.

  • Clearer GDPR and privacy information

    From 1 comment
    • One important point that I don't see anywhere on the website is if to use this service do I need to add a GDPR banner? Does it use personal user data (like an identifiable number…
