# OpenRevenue > OpenRevenue is a revenue-first, privacy-friendly web analytics platform, a simpler and faster alternative to Google Analytics (GA4). It connects your payment provider so revenue sits next to the page, source, and campaign that earned it, and adds realtime visitors, visitor journeys, conversion funnels, Core Web Vitals, AI crawler tracking, an AI assistant, embeddable widgets, and shareable public stats, without cookie banners or GA4 complexity. OpenRevenue is built for founders, product teams, marketers, indie hackers, and agencies who want to understand their website traffic in seconds instead of fighting dashboards. Tracking is lightweight (a single small script), cookieless by default, and GDPR/privacy-friendly. Analytics are realtime, never sampled, and the UI stays quiet and dense so the numbers are easy to read. ## What OpenRevenue does - Revenue attribution: connect Polar, Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Dodo Payments, or RevenueCat and see income by page, referrer, and campaign - Simple, privacy-first web analytics as a Google Analytics / GA4 alternative - Lightweight embeddable tracker script (one line, no cookie banner required) - Realtime dashboard with a live visitor globe and per-minute pageview chart -

Per-visitor journeys and visitor-level inspection - Web performance / Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) per project - AI crawler and bot tracking: see visits from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Googlebot, and other crawlers, split by AI answers, indexing, and training -

Shareable public stats pages for transparent, open metrics - Full public REST API and per-account API keys - Team projects with members and roles ## Why teams pick OpenRevenue over Google Analytics (GA4) -
