Crafty Meerkat vs Fathom Analytics
Fathom simplified analytics. Crafty Meerkat finishes the job — it tells you what to do next.
A single-page dashboard answers "what happened" and stops there. Crafty Meerkat starts from the same philosophy — fast script, no cookie banners, numbers you can read at a glance — then adds the layer everyone actually wants: an AI advisor that reads your data and hands you a prioritized to-do list, plus speed, broken-link, and competitor monitoring for the whole site.
