Every kilobyte costs load time, especially on mobile. Here's the actual gzipped size each script adds.
Pixli lazy-loads modules (heatmaps, recordings, vitals) only when enabled for your site. The initial script is ~5 KB. Additional modules add ~2 KB each and load asynchronously.
How each platform handles visitor data and privacy compliance.
Pixli
Cookieless by design
Yandex Metrica
Cookie-based tracking
To get what Pixli offers, you'd typically combine Yandex Metrica with a heatmap tool and a separate A/B testing platform.
Traffic & behavior analytics
Heatmaps & recordings
A/B testing
Pixli
Everything in one ~5 KB script
These features don't exist in Yandex Metrica. Each one is fully implemented — not a roadmap promise.
Five sub-scores (bot, engagement, geo, fingerprint, behavior) with configurable weights. Auto-detect fraud and generate blacklists.
Track revenue, costs, profit, and ROI by source. S2S postback processing and CSV cost import built in.
Every click with sub_id, click_id, and full journey tracking. Build click flows and auto-generate blacklists for bad traffic.
Built-in experiments with variant management, statistical significance via chi-squared test, and automatic winner detection.
Rage clicks, dead clicks, and JS error capture in real time. See exactly where users get frustrated on your site.
Pay with cryptocurrency for full anonymity. No credit card, no identity linking — true privacy from checkout to analytics.
No migration tool needed. Just swap the script.
Paste one line of code into your site's <head>. Works with any framework or CMS.
Delete the Yandex Metrica tag. One less cookie-setting script on your page.
Traffic analytics, heatmaps, and recordings start collecting right away. No setup wizard.
Yes. Pixli has a free plan that covers small-to-medium sites. You only upgrade when you need more traffic volume or advanced features like financial analytics. No credit card required.
Yes. Pixli's script is ~5 KB gzipped, so running both during migration has minimal performance impact. Remove Yandex Metrica when you're ready.
Yes — DOM-based session recordings powered by rrweb. They work without cookies and include automatic PII masking (passwords, emails, phone numbers, credit card numbers).
On EU-based infrastructure that you control. Your data is never shared with advertising platforms or third parties.
Not directly — Yandex Metrica doesn't provide a standard data export. But Pixli starts collecting from the moment you install the script, so your new dataset builds immediately.
Traffic quality scoring, click-level analytics with sub_id tracking, blacklist generation, postback processing, and ROI tracking — all built in. No need for separate tools like Binom or Keitaro for basic flow analysis.
