The Best Heap Alternative
Heap autotrack captures everything — including bots and noise. Dashly captures real visitors, filters bots, and ties traffic to revenue. One cookieless script, $10/mo flat.
Why teams switch to Dashly
The Heap alternative that shows you what makes money — not just what gets clicks.
Heap autotrack captures bots too
Heap's autotrack logs every click including bots and crawlers. Your data is noisy and inflated. Dashly filters bots automatically — clean data by default.
Heap uses cookies and needs consent
Heap sets cookies and requires a consent banner. Users who decline are lost. Dashly is cookieless — capture 100% of visitors, no banner needed.
Heap pricing is opaque and steep
Heap's pricing is quote-only and scales with session volume. Dashly is transparent $10/mo for 5M events — no sales call, no surprise bills.
Heap is heavy and slow to load
Heap's autotrack script is heavy and can slow your site. Dashly's snippet is ~2KB — lighter than GA4, Plausible, and Heap.

Frequently asked questions
Does Dashly have autotrack like Heap?
No, by design. Autotrack captures everything including bots and noise, which inflates data and slows sites. Dashly uses explicit events plus automatic pageview tracking — cleaner, faster, and more accurate.
Is Dashly cheaper than Heap?
Almost always. Heap's pricing is quote-based and scales with sessions; reported bills range from hundreds to thousands per month. Dashly is $10/mo flat for 5M events with revenue attribution and replays included.
Can I migrate from Heap to Dashly?
Yes. Add the Dashly snippet alongside Heap, verify data, then remove Heap. Your Heap historical data stays in Heap — export it first if you need it.
Does Dashly do retroactive analysis like Heap?
Dashly analyzes data from installation forward. Heap's retroactive analysis relies on autotrack capturing everything upfront. Dashly's approach is lighter and more privacy-safe, with explicit events for the metrics that matter.
