Databuddy is open-source product analytics for startups. One cookieless script tracks visitors, custom events, funnels, and goals, with opt-in error and web vitals tracking. Databunny, the built-in AI analyst, answers questions about your data and shows the query behind each answer. Feature flags, short links, and uptime monitoring run in the same dashboard. Free up to 10,000 events a month; error tracking starts on the Hobby plan.
