Feder and Clicky: keep Clicky, check the numbers you run on.
No, Feder is not a replacement for Clicky. Keep Clicky. Feder does a different job beside it: it reads what your connected apps recorded and compares each number with your own history, so you know when one cannot be trusted.
Why would I need this?
Because the question is not what the number is. It is whether you can trust it.
Is Feder an alternative to Clicky?
No. Clicky is a privacy-friendly web analytics platform offering real-time visitor logs, heatmaps, uptime monitoring, aggressive bot filtering, and advanced filtering capabilities. Feder does a different job: it watches the numbers your tools record and says when one cannot be trusted. Nothing here asks you to switch.
Do I need Feder if I have Clicky?
They do different jobs, so one does not stand in for the other. Keep Clicky for the job it does. Feder's job is to say when a number your tools record has gone quiet or moved outside your own history.
What does Clicky do better?
Clicky filters bot activity out of its logs automatically, using several methods.
In Roxr Software Ltd's words:
Clicky uses various methods to automatically filter out bot activity from your logs.

What can go wrong with Clicky's numbers?
Clicky says some bots can still get past its filtering and be counted, though it considers its methods among the best, and it offers custom filters to block more.
In Roxr Software Ltd's words:
Some get through but we think our methods are amongst the best.
Blocking bots & referrer spam | Clicky, read 2026-11-12.Ad blockers can block analytics trackers, Clicky's included, so part of a site's traffic can go unlogged unless the site routes tracking through its own domain as Clicky explains.
In Roxr Software Ltd's words:
This means that a significant portion of your traffic won't be logged by most services.
How to track AdBlock visitors | Web analytics | Clicky, read 2026-11-12.Clicky's numbers can be much lower than another tool's for the same site. Clicky explains that most of that gap is usually bots it leaves out.
In Roxr Software Ltd's words:
The main reason we decided to add this option was for people who were seeing vastly lower numbers on Clicky compared to another service, and typically the majority of that difference is bots.

How does Feder work with Clicky?
- Feder has no connection to Clicky today, so it reads nothing from it.
- The two can run side by side: Clicky keeps doing its job, and Feder checks the numbers your other tools record against your own history.
- Feder only reads. It never changes anything in a connected app.
What should I ask about my Clicky setup?
- Which numbers on my dashboard are counted at the source, and which are modeled or estimated?
- If this number stopped counting tomorrow, who would notice, and when?
- What does a normal week look like for this number, in my own history?
