datafast is great.
here's when.
pick datafast if…
- you take payments through lemon squeezy, polar, paddle, shopify or woocommerce. datafast connects to all of them; dashi connects to stripe and takes other sales as events.
- you want your numbers in an AI agent or a terminal. datafast has an API, a CLI and an MCP server.
- you want analytics on your phone. datafast has an app for iOS and android.
- you'd rather skip cookies. datafast offers a cookieless script (it notes attribution gets less accurate); dashi uses a first-party cookie.
- you're leaving plausible and want your history. datafast can import it.
pick dashi if…
- you want analytics you actually leave open: a built-in lofi soundtrack or any youtube link, live weather on the globe, seven globe skins.
- you like to feel it happen. visitors beam in as pillars of light, and every sale goes cha-ching on the buyer's pin.
- you run more than one site. add every domain and watch them all on one globe.
- you share your numbers. invite your team or make a guest link, and choose metric by metric who sees what.
- you'd like to start free. dashi costs nothing while it's in early access; datafast starts at $9/month after a 14-day trial.

revenue, live visitors
and the vibe. on one globe.
the same money question.
a nicer room.
a built-in lofi soundtrack, or paste any youtube link. the globe's glow pulses with the beat, and anyone on your globe hears it too.
visitors beam in.
sales go cha-ching.
new visitors arrive as a pillar of light with their pin rising from the globe. every sale bursts on the buyer's pin with a cash-register sound. turn either off any time.
every sale, traced.
every refund, subtracted.
each sale shows its amount, plan, city, device, referrer and campaign. sales confirmed by stripe get a verified badge, and refunds come off automatically.
questions
how does dashi attribute stripe revenue?
paste a stripe restricted key (rk_…) and dashi reads your sales and refunds. to tie each sale to a channel, add the dashi visitor id to your checkout session's metadata. dashi writes the prompt for you to paste into cursor, lovable or bolt. each sale is credited to the buyer's first visit.
can I run dashi next to datafast?
yes. they're separate scripts, and a stripe checkout session can carry both visitor ids, so you can compare them on the same traffic before you decide.
does dashi work with lemon squeezy, polar or paddle?
not as a direct connection yet. you can send each sale as a purchase event from your server or the script, and it's credited to the buyer's first visit, just like a stripe sale.
what does dashi cost?
nothing for now, while dashi is in early access. no card needed.
