Do you want to know how well that change to your user onboarding process or new growth hack is performing? A good analytics tool can tell you.

An analytics tool is must-have for every website and mobile app business. If you don’t know what’s going on in your app, you can’t improve.

So here at Autosend we put together a list of 65 tools that will help you track everything in your web and mobile apps.

Let’s get to it!

Analytics tools for cross-platform apps (works for mobile and web apps)

If you have both a website and mobile app, the easiest thing to use is a cross-platform analytics tool. A cross-platform tool helps cut time spent on integration and gives you a full view of everything happening in your apps in one place. If you want simplicity, fast implementation, and a tool to use on any other platform you add later, choose a cross-platform app analytics tool. (Remember to keep scrolling for web app and mobile app specific tools)

Here are a few options:

1. Piwik (Free and Paid) –  Piwik is an open source app analytics tool for every platform. Piwik has real-time data tracking, event tracking, and campaign tracking. Piwik has a ton of integrations for almost any platform you’re working with from Node.js to WordPress. You can pay for a hosted version or download Piwik onto your own server and host it yourself for free. Now it’s not the most beautiful analytics tool on the list, but it does exactly what you need it to do and more. Piwiki even has mobile app for iOS and Android to help you view your analytics on the go.
2. Calq.io (Free and Paid) – Calq is a simple, beautiful, and real-time cross-platform app analytics tool. Calq’s best feature helps you run advanced queries without being a data scientist. Calq also has conversion funnel data and even a retroactive analysis feature to help you get a new perspective on things that happend in the past. Calq has a Javascript, iOS, Android, C#, and HTTP API, so it can work in almost any app.
3. Heap (Free and Paid) – Heap tracks your app users, clicks, form submissions, and anything else you’d want to track. You can create user segments and even see everything a particular user did in your app. My favorite feature of Heap is their dead-simple integration process. They’ve made their analytics so easy to “install” that you don’t even have to use code. You just select what you want to track on your website and you it’s tracked. It’s like magic. Heap is cross-platform too. It’s made for websites and iOS apps.
4. Opentracker (Free and Paid) – Opentracker is another tool that helps you track everything you’d ever want to track. Opentracker has real time reporting, geo-location user tracking, and lets you tag users for later viewing. Opentracker also has an API that allows you to build features not in the app. Opentracker supports websites, iOS, Android, and web apps.
5. Foxmetrics (Paid )– Foxmetics, like a few of the other analytics tools, helps you track your user’s actions and activities. With Foxmetrics you can see things like which user viewed which page, who used which app feature, or even how long your users take to convert.
6. Google Analytics (Free)  – Google Analytics is the “household name” of the web analytics space, but people forget about their mobile offering. They have all the typical analytics like page view tracking and page-overlays, but sometimes the tool is too big to get the information you need without a lot of work. The good news is, if Google Analytics is your only option you can download one of the many available Analytics templates to get you started quickly.

Analytics tools for web apps

Believe it or not, there are more options than Google Analytics to track your website’s analytics. We all know Google Analytics can be a bit overwhelming to set up, hard to use, or just not ideal for your needs. Plus, there’s a lot more to track than pageviews in a web app. So you need the right tools to get the job done.

Although Google Analytics is actually on the list, there are dozens of other (some would say better) options to choose from.

1. Clicktale (Free and Paid) – Clicktale is more than your average analytics tool. Clicktale helps you go beyond the numbers and shows you see exactly what your users are doing on your site. With Clicktale you can record and watch exactly how a visitor used your website, track user sessions, and view heatmaps. Clicktale also has in-form conversion funnels that tell you where users left off filling out your web forms.
2. Gosquared (Paid) – Gosquared is a simple, good looking web analytics tool that just works the way you’d expect it to. Besides the standard analytics features, Gosquared has visitor tagging to help you dig deeper into one user’s visit. Gosquared even integrates with popular chat tools like Olark or Zopim to help you talk to users in real-time, which is great for user onboarding.
3. Clicky (Free and Paid) – Clicky is a robust web app analytics tool. Besides website visits and conversions, you can also track your video and audio analytics on your website. Clicky also has heatmaps, website uptime monitoring, and bit.ly integration. Clicky seems to be the most feature-rich option on the list, which is helpful only if you actually need all of these features.
4. Woopra (Paid) – Woopra helps you track where your users are coming from, how long they’ve stayed on your site, and even shows you a picture of your users. You can create custom funnels, perform cohort analysis, and get real-time notifications of any in-app activity with Webhooks.
5. Mint (Paid) – Mint is a self-hosted analytics solution. This means you have to install and manage your analytics on your own server. This is helpful for those looking to save money, as you can simply pay one-time for the license (which is pretty inexpensive already) and use it as much as you want.
6. Going Up (Paid) – Going Up is the solution for web app marketers looking to manage SEO analytics and web app analytics with one tool. Goingup shows your referring keywords, heatmaps, recent visitors list, and even your Alexa traffic ranking. If you don’t want separate tools to manage both and don’t mind a basic looking tool (I’m being kind) then use Going Up.
7. Chartbeat (Paid) – Chartbeat is another beautiful, real-time app analytics tool for web apps. Chartbeat helps you visualize your current visits, shows you which devices your web app users are using, and even helps you track your social media activity on one screen.
8. Gauges (Paid) – Gauges is a real-time web analytics tool. With Gauges you can track multiple sites in one place, which is helpful for tracking front-end and back-end activity separately. You can also see which browsers your users are using and the keywords they used to find you.
9. Reinvogorate (Paid)- Reinvigorate is a simple but nice looking real-time analytics tool with heatmaps.You get all the basic analytics features plus visitor tagging and CDN hosted tracking code for speedier page loads.
10. Crazyegg (Paid) – Crazyegg is a heatmaps only analtyics tool. Crazyegg shows you exactly where users clicked and how they viewed your page. Crazyegg is more ideal for A/B testing and backend feature testing than general visitor and user tracking.
11. Inspectlet (Paid) – Inspectlet is another web app heatmaps tool. Inspectlet is a bit different because you can get real-time analytics and views of what users are doing. You can also record user sessions and get custom metrics with the tool.
12. Mouseflow (Free and Paid) – Mouseflow gives you live analytics and heatmaps. With Mouseflow you can record user sessions, track page scrolling, and get data on how long your users hovered over a button before they actually clicked.
13. Open Web Analytics (Free) – Open Web Analytics is another open source web app analytics tool. Open Web Analytics has many typical features and Javascript, PHP, and Rest-based APIs that make it a snap to integrate into any web app.
14. Statcounter (Free and Paid) – Statcounter is one of the ORIGINAL web analytics tools available. In fact, it’s so old people don’t realize it’s still around. The good news is Statcounter is still updated and a good option to handle your web app analytics even today. You get the typical analytics feature set plus custom branding and HTTPS tracking, which is important for anyone tracking backend app activity.
15. Snowplow (Paid) – Snowplow is the analytics tool for web apps with a lot of data. If you have a large app, with lots of users, and want to manipulate the data, Snowplow is the analytics tool for you.
16. Clickmeter  (Free and Paid)- Clickmeter is a bit different because it’s an analytics tool that helps you track marketing campaigns. You can track exactly which users converted from which ad and monitor your ad’s click fraud.
17. Digital Analytics (Paid) – Of course, if you can think of a problem on the web, Adobe’s trying to solve it. And managing your web app analytics is no different. Adobe’s offering gives you the standard analytics tools plus some that large organizations can use. Unfortunately, since this tool is about $1,500 a month this isn’t the best option for the little guys.
18. Sitespect (Paid) – Sitespect is somewhat of a full-suite web app analytics tool. It includes A/B testing, multi-variate testing, personalization, and more. If you need analytics and A/B testing in one tool, I’d try out Sitespect.
19. Paditrack (Free and Paid) – Paditrack works with Google Analytics. You can analyze any data from Google Analytics, including the data you had before using Paditrack. Paditrack’s main features include user segmentation, retroactive analysis, and easy reports.
20. Hitslink (Paid) – Hitlink is another simple web app analytics tool. It features real-time analytics, social media traffic reporting, and real-time dynamic segmentation.
21. Parse.ly (Paid) – Parse.ly is real-time web analytics tool with a focus on tracking content. If your web app has a lot of content built in like Quora or Techcrunch for instance, this is a real solution for you (although an expensive one).
22. Sessioncam (Free and Paid) – Sessioncam is more of a heatmaps analytics tool. You can record and get replays of your user’s app activty. Besides the typical heatmap features, Sessioncam also helps you view your mobile website user sessions.
23. Loggr (Free and Paid) – Loggr helps you track your user events and monitor your web app. You can get sales trends and code errors all in one tool. I’d recommend this tool for technical marketers or single programmer founders, since it’s a bit too “techincal” for non-technical marketers. But if you want to track bugs and user activity in one place, this is your tool. They even have a handy mobile app to help you see everything on your mobile device.
24. Kissmetrics (Paid) – Kissmetrics is a standard cohort analysis tool. It helps you track what your users are doing, when they convert, and how long it took them to do it. Kissmetrics gives you a quick view of your app revenue and other important business metrics.
25. Sitemeter – Sitemeter is old and ugly. But it’s an analytics tool so I included it on the list. Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s still updated, but it’s an option and still available online if you want to check it out.
26. Crawltrack – Crawltrack is another old and ugly tool. But if you need it, it’s available. With Crawltrack you can track 404 page errors and it even claims to block hacking attempts. Again, there are plenty of other tools available on the list that seem better. But choose what you like.
27. Segment.io -Segment.io isn’t necessarily an analytics tool. Segment.io is one tool that helps you integrate multiple app analytics tool with one piece of code. This is ideal if you’re trying out multiple tools from the list. Just remember, they don’t provide any analytics services themselves, they just bring all of your analytics into one tool from different services for you.
