Flat-Rate Browser Extension Analytics
The Problem
Browser extension developers lack purpose-built analytics tools; Chrome Web Store offers only basic install counts without usage analytics, funnel tracking, or retention metrics. Developers resort to hacked-together GA4 implementations that violate Chrome's CSP policies. Existing tools like Extension Radar and Chrome-Stats focus on market/competitor data but ignore in-extension user behavior tracking, leaving a gap for ~100K+ active extension developers.

Competitive Landscape
$8/month (Pro plan)
Focuses on competitor analysis, reviews, and market insights like search rankings but lacks usage analytics, funnel tracking, or retention metrics for the developer's own extension. No support for in-extension user behavior tracking.
$15+/month
Provides raw historical data on installs, ratings, and keyword rankings but offers no AI insights, usage analytics, or retention metrics. UI is complex and overwhelming for beginners, missing purpose-built devtools for usage funnels.
Custom Enterprise Pricing (Contact Sales)
Offers enterprise-grade app intelligence with revenue estimates but is extremely expensive and overkill for indie extension developers. Lacks specific browser extension usage analytics or funnel tracking.
