Crafty Meerkat vs Simple Analytics
Simple Analytics keeps the numbers simple. Crafty Meerkat keeps them simple and tells you your next move.
Simple Analytics made a great trade: strip analytics down to one clean page so anyone can read it. But a clean page still ends with you doing the analysis. Crafty Meerkat makes the same trade on the surface — light script, no cookie banners, a dashboard you can actually read — and then goes further: an AI advisor that turns the week's data into ranked actions, plus uptime, page-speed, and site-health monitoring around it.

Why teams switch to Crafty Meerkat
A ranked to-do list, not just a tidy chart
Every week our AI reads your traffic and sends 3–5 prioritized actions with the reasoning shown. A minimal dashboard can't tell you which page is quietly costing you visitors.
More than pageviews
Uptime monitoring, page-speed from real visits, broken-link detection, site profiling, and competitor tracking — a full health check, not just traffic counting.
Built for the AI-traffic era
We attribute visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other assistants out of the box, observe AI crawlers on your site, and help you get recommended by AI assistants.
Every feature explained in plain language
TL;DRs, step-by-step wizards, and docs for everything — built for smart owners who don't live in analytics tools.
The bottom line
Simple Analytics is a very good way to count visits without the clutter. Crafty Meerkat starts where it stops: same readable numbers, plus an AI advisor and full site-health monitoring that end your week with a decision instead of a chart.
