A Google Analytics alternative that sees AI assistants and bots

Google Analytics measures what its tag sees in the browser and leaves known bots out on purpose. AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity fetch pages without running JavaScript, so they never appear, and clicks from them often arrive without a referrer and are reported as Direct. LogZuno adds the server's view.

Why teams choose LogZuno

Teams who want to see AI assistants and bots, plus product events, funnels and alerts.

AI visits, verified
See which AI assistants fetch which pages, checked against OpenAI, Perplexity, Anthropic and Google's published address lists, and how many people they send.
Visitors who are people
A visitor counts as a person only after a real tap, click, key press or scroll. Crawlers, headless browsers and cloud traffic are labelled and kept apart.
Events you can watch live
Every event lands in a live feed within seconds. Send notify: true and it arrives as a browser push, so sign-ups, payments and errors reach you as they happen.
Funnels that follow each person
Up to 10 steps, in order or any order, inside a conversion window you set, counted per user or per account, with cohort retention beside them.

When Google Analytics is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool. Google Analytics fits better if:

You want free analytics and the Google Ads and Search Console integrations.
You need more than 90 days of history (up to 14 months on standard properties).

Questions

Why doesn't Google Analytics show ChatGPT visits?

ChatGPT and other assistants fetch pages from their servers without running JavaScript, so the Google tag never loads. When a person clicks a link in ChatGPT, the visit often carries no referrer and Google Analytics reports it as Direct.

Can I use LogZuno alongside Google Analytics?

Yes. The LogZuno script and the server-side collectors don't interfere with the Google tag, so you can run both and compare.

How do I move from Google Analytics to LogZuno?

Point the calls you already make at LogZuno's API (POST /v1/log, or /v1/batch for up to 100 events) and add the script tag for pageviews. Past events from the last 90 days can be imported from CSV or JSON Lines; imported events count toward your monthly allowance.

Can I run LogZuno alongside Google Analytics?

Yes. Sending the same events to both is the safest way to compare numbers before you switch, and the LogZuno script doesn't interfere with other analytics tags.

How much does LogZuno cost?

Four flat plans: Starter $17, Growth $32, Business $62 and Enterprise $99 a month, for 50,000 to 500,000 events. Every plan has every feature and 90 days of history. Yearly billing costs ten times the monthly price.

Is there a free trial?

Yes: 7 days on any plan, with up to 500 events. A card is required and is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel; we email you 3 days before.
