PageLens vs DataFast
DataFast is a revenue-first analytics tool popular with indie founders: it shows which channels bring paying customers, and it also tracks AI crawlers server-side. PageLens covers the same ground with a different focus: cookieless by default, data hosted in the EU, several sites on the cheapest plan, and AI Visibility that connects crawler reads, answer fetches, AI visits and revenue per page, with recommendations on what to change. (DataFast details checked on datafa.st in October 2026.)
