Fathom's simplicity and privacy, plus behavior insight
VisitVerity keeps the cookieless, no-banner simplicity you like about Fathom — and adds masked session replay, heatmaps, funnels, and form analytics for the 'why' behind the numbers.

Fathom Analytics is a clean, privacy-first, cookieless analytics tool focused on simple, uncluttered traffic stats. If you have reached the point where you need to see how visitors actually move through your site — not just how many arrive — VisitVerity keeps Fathom's privacy stance and layers on the behavior tools.
Why teams switch from Fathom Analytics
No cookies, no cross-site tracking, IP addresses hashed and never stored raw — the same privacy benefits that make Fathom banner-free.
Masked session replay and heatmaps reveal rage clicks, dead clicks, and confusion that a traffic dashboard alone cannot show.
Ordered funnels, cross-session journeys, and revenue tracking to find exactly where and why people drop off.
An explainable traffic-quality engine flags bots and automation with auditable reasons, so your metrics reflect real people.

Questions about switching
Does VisitVerity keep the privacy benefits of Fathom?
Yes — it is cookieless, does no cross-site tracking, and hashes IP addresses irreversibly without storing the raw address. Where you enable session replay, inputs are masked in the browser before anything is sent.
What does VisitVerity add over Fathom?
Masked session replay, heatmaps, form analytics, cross-session journeys, and an explainable traffic-quality engine — the behavior layer Fathom intentionally leaves out. You also get a free-forever plan.
Is it more complex than Fathom?
The core dashboard stays simple and readable. The extra tools (replay, heatmaps, funnels) are there when you need them, not in your way when you do not.
Can I try it for free?
Yes — the Free plan is free forever with no credit card: 1 project, 10,000 events per month, and 7-day retention.
