Logly vs the alternatives

Honest, up-to-date comparisons — including the things the other tools do better.

One line runs through all eight: every tool here filters bots, and only Logly tells you which ones. Search engines, AI crawlers, SEO tools and monitors are counted apart and labelled by type. Fathom shows how much it blocked and how it caught it; Matomo can record bots with a tracking parameter or a plugin; the rest drop them in silence, and Google says outright that you "cannot… see how much known bot traffic was excluded". Here is what that hides: 27 days of AI-crawler data from eight sites →

Both cookie-free, no consent banner. Key differences: free plan, active time-on-page, and price at 100k pageviews.
