Analyse vs Cloudflare Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics is free, privacy-first, and intentionally minimal. Analyse is the upgrade for when you need events, funnels, search insights, and content, not just a traffic pulse.

Where Cloudflare Analytics covers a slice, Analyse folds analytics, Search Console insights, rank tracking, an AI copilot, and a content engine into one subscription. Each part feeds the others.
Ask your data in plain language
Chat with your analytics inside Analyse, or connect Claude or Cursor over MCP. Cloudflare Analytics hands you a dashboard. Analyse hands you the answer and the next action.
Rankings that write themselves
Analyse researches your site and what is being published around it, writes SEO posts on a schedule, and tracks the positions they win. Cloudflare Analytics has nothing in this lane.
When Cloudflare Analytics is the better fit
If you just want to know whether anyone visits your site and the answer needs to cost nothing, Cloudflare Web Analytics is a fine baseline. It is privacy-first, needs no cookie banner, and works on any site through a copy-paste JavaScript beacon, Cloudflare account or not. The trade-off is deliberate thinness: no custom events, no funnels, no export, no search data. Analyse is for the moment that stops being enough, when you want to know what visitors did, which keywords brought them, and what content to publish next.
Move from Cloudflare Analytics in an afternoon
Keep Cloudflare Analytics running in parallel as long as you like. Drop in the Analyse script, connect Search Console, and your dashboards fill in with no re-instrumentation marathon.
Start freeCommon questions
Analyse compared to Cloudflare Analytics, answered.
Is Cloudflare Web Analytics really free?
Yes, completely, with a Cloudflare account. That is its whole pitch, and as a zero-cost baseline it is hard to argue with. The limits are in the reporting, which stays very basic by design.
What does Analyse add over Cloudflare Web Analytics?
Custom events, multi-step funnels, retention, and live segments on the base plan, plus an AI copilot, Search Console insights, rank tracking, and AI blog posts. Cloudflare offers none of those at any price.
Are both privacy-friendly?
Yes. Both are cookieless and collect no personal data, so neither needs a consent banner. Analyse additionally hosts all data in the EU and gives you retention controls; Cloudflare does not.
Can I run both at once?
Yes, and it is a sensible way to evaluate. Both scripts are light, so keep Cloudflare's beacon as a second opinion while Analyse fills in the events, funnels, and search data.
How is Analyse priced?
Analyse starts at $29 a month with three sites included, and every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Funnels, retention, and segments are on the base plan; rank tracking and the MCP server arrive on Pro.
How long does setup take?
The same as Cloudflare's beacon: one script tag, or a click in WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify. Connect Search Console and the SEO reports start the same day.
