Where DataFast Excels
We believe in honest comparisons. Here is where DataFast genuinely has the edge.
More payment providers out of the box
DataFast connects Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Polar and Shopify, plus a Payment API. Check its current integration docs if your checkout does not use Stripe.
Mobile apps are first-class
A React Native and Expo SDK, web to app funnel tracking, and an iOS and Android dashboard app. If your product lives on a phone, DataFast covers a surface Zenovay does not.
Social and ad attribution built in
DataFast includes X and Reddit mention tracking, link attribution and Google Search Console integration. These are useful if your marketing analysis starts outside your site.
Cheaper to start, and a deliberately small surface
DataFast focuses on analytics and revenue. Its default tracker uses cookies for longer visitor continuity; its cookieless option has a shorter identification window.
Where Zenovay Excels
The specific advantages that make teams move from DataFast to Zenovay.
Session replay and heatmaps
Revenue reports show where to investigate. Replay and click, scroll and attention maps add context about on-page behavior; they do not prove why someone converted.
Uptime, errors and experiments in the same place
Zenovay puts uptime checks, JavaScript errors and experiments beside analytics. Compare the actual workflows you need during the trial.
A free plan and a real import path
Zenovay has a free plan with 10,000 events a month, and a DataFast importer that moves your daily visitors, pageviews, sessions and breakdowns across from a single API key. You can evaluate without a deadline.
Built for teams, agencies and developers
Ten websites and 25 team members on Scale, with white-label client dashboards, SAML SSO and Query Studio for read-only SQL over your own tables. The MCP server exposes over 100 tools on every plan, including the free one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zenovay a good DataFast alternative?
DataFast is strong at revenue attribution, goals, funnels and visitor journeys. Zenovay is worth testing when replay, heatmaps or monitoring would help your team act on those numbers. Keep both installed for two weeks and compare the work you can do in each.
Does DataFast have session replay or heatmaps?
DataFast does not currently advertise session replay or click and scroll heatmaps. Its visitor journeys and scroll goals answer different questions. Zenovay offers replay and heatmaps on Pro and above.
Can I import my DataFast data into Zenovay?
Yes. Open Domains, pick your site, then Import and choose DataFast. Paste a DataFast API key, either a website key or an account token, and choose how far back to go. Zenovay brings across daily visitors, pageviews and sessions, plus breakdowns for pages, referrers, countries, devices, browsers, operating systems, regions, cities and UTM tags. Fill gaps only is on by default, so a day you already have is never overwritten and your traffic cannot be counted twice. The key is used for the import and then discarded, so you can revoke it straight afterwards.
Zenovay vs DataFast: which one is cheaper?
DataFast lists Starter from $9/month and Growth from $19/month at 10,000 events. Zenovay has a Free plan at 10,000 events and Pro from $20/month. Features and limits differ, so compare the plans you would actually use.
Can I run DataFast and Zenovay at the same time?
Yes. Install Zenovay while DataFast keeps running. Compare the same site and dates for two weeks, allowing for different measurement definitions and bot filtering. Import the history you need and remove either script only when you are satisfied with the replacement.
