Choose FastStats if
your plugin runs on Velocity, Fabric, Hytale or Minestom, or you want to build your own dashboards from custom metrics.
Choose PluginAnalytics if
your plugin runs on Spigot, Paper, Purpur or Folia and you want answers without building dashboards: which features are used, where players drop off, which errors came back after an update, what costs server time, and how many of your SpigotMC listing's visitors end up running the plugin. You can sign up and ship today.
Questions
Is PluginAnalytics a FastStats alternative?
Yes. Both go beyond bStats with private dashboards, retention and error tracking. PluginAnalytics is open to everyone today with public prices, and adds funnels, performance, logs, update notices, in-game bug reports and listing view tracking. FastStats covers more platforms.
Which one supports more platforms?
FastStats lists Paper, Spigot, Velocity, Fabric, Hytale and Minestom. PluginAnalytics runs on Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia (Minecraft 1.8 to the latest). If your plugin is a Fabric mod or a Velocity plugin, FastStats covers it and we don't.
Can I sign up today?
PluginAnalytics: yes, free, no invite. FastStats described itself as a free closed beta when we checked.
Can I use it next to bStats or FastStats?
Yes. The SDK is relocated into your jar and never clashes with other metrics libraries.
