A DataFast alternative when the app is half the product.
DataFast calls itself revenue-first analytics: money per channel, funnels and a long list of integrations, with an API, a CLI and an MCP server. Tapll starts from the product instead: the app and its website in one project, natively instrumented on iOS, with the site cookieless by default.

Why teams pick Tapll over DataFast.
One project for the app and its site
Platform is a dimension of every view, with a switcher per platform, instead of a website tool and an app tool.
Native on iOS
Crashes grouped into issues and named with dSYMs, releases with before and after, and App Store funnel, keywords and reviews next to usage.
Cookieless unless you choose otherwise
Nothing is stored in the browser by default. When you want retention and identity, the optional built-in banner gives Accept and Decline equal weight.
When DataFast is the better choice.
- You take payments through Shopify, LemonSqueezy or Polar, or send them from your own backend: DataFast connects those and has a Payment API, Tapll reads Stripe and Paddle.
- You need Google Search Console keywords with revenue estimates, or X and Reddit mentions.
- You want to query your data from code, a terminal or an agent: DataFast has an API, a CLI and an MCP server, and Tapll has none.
- You use many frameworks or a CMS and want a ready integration, or you are moving over from Plausible.
Questions about switching from DataFast.
Does Tapll attribute revenue to channels?
Yes, for Stripe and Paddle. Pass `tapll.sessionId()` in the checkout metadata (or Stripe’s `client_reference_id`) and Traffic shows net revenue, customers, conversion and revenue per visitor for each channel, referrer, campaign and entry page. Revenue goes to the customer’s first known visit — or, cookieless, to the visit that paid — renewals follow the subscription, refunds come off the same channel, and payments with no visit stay in a “Not attributed” row. It is labelled correlation, never cause.
Can I query Tapll from code?
Not yet. There is no public API, CLI or MCP server.
