What Is Clicky All About?
Clicky is a tool that analyses website’s statistics and shows them to you in a simple manner. It can help you to optimize your pages and maximize conversions. When you know what the visitors are doing on your site, you can try new things and use what works the best.
Imagine that your income through your website is now $1,000/month with 2% conversion rate. By making a few changes and optimizing your pages, you can raise your conversion rate to 4% which doubles your income to $2,000/month. Or even more. Sometimes even 10% conversion rate is possible which would make your page earning $5,000/month for you.
That example shows the importance of optimizing your pages. Clicky can help a lot because it gives you the most relevant statistics.
Clicky shows, for example following facts:
- How many people visit your website
- What do the visitors do your website
- What do they click on different pages
- What kind of interactions do visitors have with the videos on your site
- How much is your conversion rate A.K.A. “Goal Tracking.”
Here you can see the full list of Premium features on Clicky:

It’s always better if you see how it work in action. That’s why I have linked here a video which shows you what kind of tools Clicky provides. You can also use Clicky for free to get a better taste of it.
Who is Clicky For?
Clicky is for anyone who has a website and sees what visitors are doing there. It’s especially for people who want to optimize their pages and maximize their income through a website. It’s fascinating how little things can make big changes in visitor’s behavior. There would be a subject of research for psychologists!
What Is the Price of Clicky?
As I mentioned above, there is a free version available in Clicky. You can analyze one website for free with a maximum of 3,000 daily views. In a free version, you will more or less the same statistics like in Google Analytics. And even a bit more.
Everyone who creates a free account gets automatically get a free 21 day trial of premium service, with access to all features and the ability to track up to 3 websites and 1,000,000 daily page views (total, across all sites). You can upgrade any time during or after the trial. Or if you don’t want to continue with the premium, you can have a free account forever.
Then there are different kind of premium membership that start from $9,99/month or $79,99/year (=equals under $6,70/month). The picture below shows quickly what different pricing plans include:
The premium features that you saw in the picture before in this Clicky Review are included in all premium versions. There are, by the way, 27 different premium features in Clicky. In other words, 27 different tools to make your conversion rate better.
I circled a Pro Plus plans to show that it includes even Uptime monitoring and heatmaps. And the price is only $119,99/year. You can track 10 different websites with 30,000 daily page views. So, you can use Clicky for all of your websites with the same price.
Clicky VS. Google Analytics
Probably one of the most common questions people ask when talking about Clicky is, “Is Clicky necessary if I am already using Google Analytics?” First, I want to mention that Clicky provides quite all things that Google Analytics does and even much more.
You will experience the difference the best by trying Clicky. But here is a list of some features that GA doesn’t provide compared to Clicky.
- Detailed information about every person who visits your website
- Heatmaps of where visitors are clicking on pages (one of the most important factors to optimize your pages!)
- Heatmaps segmented by goals, split tests, visitor sessions, and more
- Uptime monitoring
- Search keyword rankings
- Video analytics
One of the most valuable difference is heatmaps. They show where your visitors are using their mouse and what they are clicking on your website. Having this information, you can test a different kind of things to increase your conversions.
One successful Internet marketer saw with a heatmap that visitor tried to click one picture on his website. He didn’t have any link on that but then he added an affiliate link to that image. After waiting for a while, he saw that his affiliate commissions increased significantly after that little change. If he wouldn’t have known that visitors are trying to click that picture, he would sill be missing those commissions.
That is just one example how heatmaps can boost your online business. There are lots more examples of marketers using this tool successfully. And remember that there are many other useful tools in Clicky that GA doesn’t provide.

“Is Clicky necessary if I am already using Google Analytics?”
The above quotd statement was the first and only thought running through my mind when I saw the topic and started reading the post, then bang! You took the words out of my mouth.
Having said that and drawing from the entire post, I think clicky will be a good substitute for Google Analytics or even a better option as you clearly stated in the post.
Yeah, and the best of all, it’s completely free to try Clicky.
Hi Roope,
Thanks for all the great information! I’m still in development (as are several of the other people that have commented), but it’s great to learn about how to increase conversion rates for sure. I’m excited about this heat mapping thing! I had no idea such a thing existed and I think it will be very handy to have in place when my site starts getting more traffic. It sounds like Clicky will be great for the new website builder because it offers things we didn’t know existed before. Thank you so much for your clear explanation. You’ve convinced me that Clicky will be on my radar very soon.

Hi Amy,
heatmapping is a great tool to improve conversions. I have realized that even though one would have even 100,000 visitors/month on his/her website, it doesn’t help if nobody is buying anything. But if even 0,1% (one per thousand) of visitors buy something, it’s already 100 sales/month => more than 3 sales per day. Of course, 100,000 visitors/month is a huge number but even with much smaller traffics conversion rate makes a big difference.
I am with Marc, as I am just now getting things rolling with my website. When you do start getting traffic, the value of this compared to the price is incredible.
Not sure if I missed this. When first starting out and not having real traffic, can clicky still come in handy?
Definitely taking a look at this.
Thanks Roope
Hi Nick,
in the beginning when you don’t have much visitors (let’s say less than 50-100/day), Clicky doesn’t have so much value. But when you start getting more and more traffic to your website, then it become very useful.
-Roope
I am very new to the online business and just added GA to my site. I am just at the building stage and receiving very little traffic but when my traffic starts to grow, clicky is the way to go. Your review has made me want to try it very soon. The heatmap option sounds amazing. I know I can learn a lot from those in my site.
Thank You for the very detailed review. It did what a review should do and truly inform and help me make a decision.
Thanks,
Marc
Hi Marc,
Google Analytics is a great tool also. However, I think that Clicky is better. But as you have just started out, GA can be enough for you. Keep on adding valuable content regularly and you will start seeing organic traffic.
When you start getting more traffic, you can think more about optimizing pages for higher conversions.
I wish you all the best for your online business. Stop by on YourOnlineRevenue.com if you need any help and I will be more than happy to help you out.
Cheers,

Hey Roope,
Wow Clicky sounds awesome! I can boost my conversion rate now by finding out where my visitors go, I’ve been looking everywhere for this feature! The heatmap looks really interesting too, I think that’s the main thing that attracted me the most.
I’m tempted to try out the free version but would you recommend me to increase my traffic first first? Instead of 3,000 visitors a day, I only have 5,000 a month so its not that many :/
Hi Riaz,
heatmaps is a great tool. Many successful Internet marketers are using it regularly to increase conversions. You don’t need to have 3,000 visitors per day in order to have a big benefit of this tool.
5,000 visitors / month is already very good. It will keep on growing when you post new content. Then you can use Clicky for improving your conversions.
You can have a free trial of Clicky to have a taste of it. Then you can decide if you want to have a paid version or not.
-Roope
This seems like a very useful tool to have but how does it compare to Google Analytics?
The guy in the video says that it’s a lot more user-friendly but it is, after all, a free service, so does Clicky have more of an edge over GA that’s worth paying for?
Otherwise, thanks for the review.
Hi Ryan,
as I mentioned in the post, Clicky is much more comprehensive than Google Analytics. Probably I will need to write a complete list of features that are better in Clicky because I think it’s quite a common question. There are tens of features in Clicky that don’t exist in GA. Here are some of them:
– Detailed information about every person who visits your web site
– Heatmaps of where visitors are clicking on pages (one of the most important factors to optimize your pages!)
– Heatmaps segmented by goals, split tests, visitor sessions, and more
– Uptime monitoring
– Search keyword rankings
– Video analytics
I hope this helps. The best picture you will get by trying Clicky yourself. It takes only a few minutes to create an account start analyzing your website. You will also get a free trial of premium features.
I would love to hear about your experiences!
