Field Notes – 09/07/2026: Sleek Analytics

There is a new analytics tool on my radar that caters to solo SaaS founders and indie makers like us, called SleekAnalytics.

SleekAnalytics

A genuinely fast, well-built analytics tool. Speed and UI are the standouts — everything loads instantly and it’s very easy to use. Accuracy held up well too, both for standard traffic numbers and the new funnels feature. I also like the shareable client link for real-time analytics (handy for sending clients a live view without giving them dashboard access) and the revenue tracking, which connects directly to Stripe and Paddle so you can tie traffic to actual revenue, not just pageviews.

Where it falls short is polish for a tool of its category: no manual refresh on the dashboard (you have to reload the whole app to see new data, which undercuts the “real-time” pitch), no export for your own analytics despite supporting Plausible imports, no alerting for traffic spikes or drops, and no UTM/campaign breakdown beyond referrer domains. It also already has a Public Data API and an AI Chat layer, so an MCP server feels like a natural next step. None of this is a launch blocker, but it’s stil something I can use right now and right away to get instant valuable feedback on my website.
