What stands out

One tracker collects analytics, errors, and web vitals, while the same dashboard runs funnels, flags, links, and uptime. The tracker is about 13 KB gzipped and loads asynchronously. Databuddy is open source and can run on your own servers.

Where it sits in the data

Databuddy's $1.5K MRR is higher than 79% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Analytics” category (646 projects) it is higher than 80% (category median $135). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view: a product like this needs a clearly defined buyer and a focused distribution surface.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

My view: combining analytics with errors, web vitals, funnels, flags, links, and uptime gives the product a broad surface, but a new entrant would need to decide which buyer and use case to prioritize first.
