Most analytics tools either cost too much for side projects or feel like they were designed in 2015. Sleek, a new entrant at getsleek.io, is betting that a stripped-down, privacy-first approach with an AI chat layer can carve out space in the crowded analytics market.
What You Get
- 50,000 events for $5/month on the Starter plan (3 sites included). Growth ($19/mo) covers 500K events and 10 sites. Pro ($49/mo) handles 2 million events with unlimited sites.
- AI chat for querying data - ask questions about your analytics in plain language instead of clicking through dashboards.
- Cookieless by design - no consent banners needed. GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant out of the box.
- Sub-1KB tracking script that loads asynchronously, so it won't slow your site down.
- Real-time visitor tracking, Core Web Vitals monitoring, shareable public dashboard links, and forever data retention on all plans.
- Custom event tracking where only pageviews and custom events count against limits (session heartbeats and blocked internal traffic don't).
The "Founding 100" deal offers a lifetime discount for early adopters, with 99 spots listed as available at launch.
How It Stacks Up
The obvious comparisons are Plausible, Fathom, and Simple Analytics - all privacy-focused alternatives to Google Analytics. Sleek's differentiator is the AI chat feature, which lets you ask things like "where did my traffic spike come from last Tuesday?" instead of manually building reports. The $5 entry point also undercuts most competitors at similar event volumes.
The risk with any new analytics tool is longevity. Migrating analytics is painful, and nobody wants to bet their data history on a product that might not exist in two years. That said, the privacy-first, lightweight approach is solid, and the AI query layer solves a real problem for people who don't want to become dashboard experts just to understand their traffic.
