Visitors.now alternative: when you need to watch who almost bought

By Kwop · Updated 18 October 2026

Kwop (kwop.io) is the Visitors.now alternative to pick when counting revenue per source is no longer enough and you want to watch each visit: it records every visit as a replay, ranks the visitors who almost bought, writes a follow-up email for each one and reads Stripe, Whop and Shopify payments. Kwop (kwop.io) costs more than Visitors.now, which starts at $9 a month and has no recordings (checked on visitors.now, 18 October 2026), so if you only need light, cookie-free analytics with Stripe revenue per channel, Visitors.now is the cheaper fit. Below: what Visitors.now does well, a side-by-side table, other alternatives by job, and how to test Kwop for free.

What does Visitors.now do?

Visitors.now, which calls itself Visitors, is privacy-first web analytics with revenue attribution: it shows which sources, pages and campaigns bring in revenue, and a profile for each visitor. It is a small independent product with a script under 1 KB.

Its homepage lists realtime analytics with a live visitor globe, visitor profiles with full session history, cross-device tracking for logged-in users, funnels, custom events, Core Web Vitals and an Experience Score. Revenue comes from Stripe, Dodo Payments or RevenueCat. With Stripe, it reads the visitor ID you pass in Checkout metadata, then earlier attribution, then the payment's email. Its docs also describe a REST API for projects, metrics and profiles.

What it does not list: recordings of the screen, heatmaps, lead scoring, follow-up emails, an AI chat or an MCP server. A visitor profile tells you that someone viewed /pricing and then left; it does not show what they did on that page.

Kwop vs Visitors.now, side by side

Visitors.now facts come from visitors.now and its docs, checked on 18 October 2026.

Where Visitors.now is better

For plain analytics, Visitors.now is lighter and cheaper than Kwop. Stay with it if these points matter more to you than replays.

• Price at low traffic. $9 a month for 10,000 events, $19 for 100,000 and $29 for 300,000, all features included. It does not bill overages; tracking pauses at 3 times your plan or after 2 months over it.
• No cookie banner by default. Without persist mode or identify, it uses no cookies. Note that revenue attribution needs persist mode, which its docs say requires explicit consent for EU users.
• Performance data. Real-user Core Web Vitals by page, country and device. Kwop does not measure page speed for real visitors.
• Unlimited websites and team members on every plan, forever retention, and public read-only dashboards.
• RevenueCat and Dodo Payments. If you sell through those, Kwop cannot read them.

Where Kwop goes further

Kwop shows what happened on the page and turns it into a list of people to contact. That is the step between "this source makes money" and "this person was about to pay".

• You watch the visit. The replay shows the plan someone picked, the field they got stuck on, the promo code that failed or the button that did nothing, with rage clicks flagged.
• Hot leads, ranked. Every visitor gets a buying-intent score from how far they went in your funnel, how often they came back and whether they left their email. See how to find hot leads.
• A follow-up for each one. Kwop writes the email from that person's visit, using only real offers such as an active promo code, and opens it in Gmail in one click. It tracks who clicked, came back and paid, and writes up to 7 follow-ups per lead. See follow-ups.
• Whop and Shopify, not only Stripe. On Pro, Stripe, Whop or Shopify connect with a read-only key and no server code. Each visitor shows what they paid.
• Ask your data. Kwop AI answers "who should I follow up today?" from your Kwop data, and the MCP server brings the same data into Claude or ChatGPT.

Kwop's limits. No heatmaps, surveys, A/B tests, Core Web Vitals or mobile app SDK. It does not record hosted checkout pages such as Stripe Checkout, Whop or Shopify checkout; the payment is matched afterwards by email, so a buyer who used a different email is not matched.

Other Visitors.now alternatives, by job

Pick by the job you need done. Facts were read on each vendor's own site on 18 October 2026.

How do you switch from Visitors.now?

You do not have to remove it. Add Kwop's script next to it, connect your payments, and compare for a week.

1. Test first. Paste your link on the Kwop homepage and create a free account, no card. The free website test sends a real browser through your site 3 times and shows each visit as a replay a few minutes later.
2. Install the script in the <head> of every page: <script src="https://kwop.io/flow.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID" defer></script>. Your first 3 real sessions are visible for free.
3. Connect Stripe, Whop or Shopify on Pro with a read-only key. Kwop imports the last 90 days and syncs every 10 minutes.
4. Check privacy. Every input is masked. Add flow-mask or flow-block to hide more, and data-consent="required" to wait for your cookie banner.
5. Decide after a week whether you still need both, then update the list of tools in your privacy policy.

Disclosure: Kwop wrote this page and sells one of the tools it mentions. Competitor facts come from each vendor's own pages, listed below with the date we checked them. If something changed, tell us at contact@kwop.io.
