Lumenlytic vs Fathom
Lumenlytic vs Fathom
Fathom is a well-established, privacy-first analytics product with unlimited retention and a polished dashboard. Lumenlytic aims at the same job with a permanent free tier and event-based pricing that stays low at volume.
The decision usually comes down to retention versus cost: Fathom keeps your history forever, while Lumenlytic trades that for a much lower price.
