Compare Modovisa
Straight answers for teams picking analytics. Where Modovisa fits, where another tool is the better buy, and what actually changes day to day — not a scorecard that pretends one product wins every time.
The comparisons
- Modovisa vs Google Analytics (GA4) — Live visitors and first-party campaigns without property setup, explorations, or waiting on a report.
- Modovisa vs Plausible — Individual live visitors and campaign ROAS against a deliberately simple, open-source traffic dashboard.
- Modovisa vs Fathom — Session detail and attribution against one quiet dashboard with almost nothing to configure.
- Modovisa vs Clicky — Both put real-time visitors first. The gap is campaigns, spend, and path replay around that live list.
- Modovisa vs Microsoft Clarity — Free screen recordings and heatmaps versus live traffic, path replay, and campaign context in one place.
- Modovisa vs Hotjar — Live store and campaign ops versus heatmaps, screen recordings, and visitor feedback.
The short version
Modovisa is for the person who just shipped something and needs to know if it worked: who is on the site now, the path they took, and which campaign paid for them. Plausible and Fathom are for clean totals with as little fuss as possible. Hotjar and Clarity are for watching how people use a page — clicks, scroll, recordings, sometimes surveys. GA4 is the wide reporting platform many organisations already own. Different jobs. The right pick is the one that matches the question you ask most often.
How to pick without reading every page
Start from the question, not the brand. Each product below is built around a different answer. The comparison pages then say what you give up if you choose the other way — including when Modovisa is not the better fit.
- “Who is on my site right now, and which ad brought them?” — Modovisa
- “How much traffic did we get, and from where?” — Plausible or Fathom
- “Why did nobody click the button?” — Hotjar or Clarity
- “We already report everything in GA4” — keep it, and read the GA4 page for what to run beside it
What we will not claim
Modovisa is not open source and there is no self-hosted edition. It is not the lightest script if all you want is a page-view counter. It does not record the screen and it does not offer heatmaps at any price. Where another product is the better answer for your job, we say so on that page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Modovisa a Google Analytics alternative?
Yes — for live visitors, journeys and campaign ROAS without GA4’s setup overhead. It is not a full replacement for BigQuery, custom explorations or native Google Ads audiences.
Can I run Modovisa alongside my current analytics?
Yes, and most teams do at first. The scripts do not fight each other, so you can compare for a few weeks before you decide what stays.
Does Modovisa replace Hotjar or Clarity?
No. Those tools watch the page (heatmaps, recordings, feedback). Modovisa watches live traffic, shops and campaigns. Plenty of teams run both.
