| Important considerations |
It focuses on aggregate traffic and performance metrics. It does not replace event-based product analytics, conversion funnels, session replay, heatmaps, or user-level journeys, and a Cloudflare account is required. | Free and low-cost tiers have small pageview, event, replay, heatmap, funnel, poll, and survey allowances. |
