SimpleDash vs DataFast
DataFast is founder-focused analytics with its own script and revenue attribution; SimpleDash reads your GA4 and adds Stripe revenue on Pro. How they differ.
DataFast is analytics built for founders, with its own tracking script and a focus on which channels bring revenue. SimpleDash reads the Google Analytics 4 data you already have, and on Pro adds Stripe revenue, MRR, and sales by first and last visit from GA4. DataFast replaces your tracking; SimpleDash keeps GA4.

How revenue differs
DataFast connects payments to individual visitors through its own script, so it can say which channel a payment came from. SimpleDash never tracks individual visitors: it shows Stripe's totals as they are, and sales by source (where buyers first came from, and the visit they bought on) only where GA4 itself recorded them. Nothing is matched or estimated, so some sales stay unattributed rather than guessed.
Choose DataFast if
you're happy to add a new tracking script and want revenue tied to visitors and channels.
Choose SimpleDash if
you want to keep GA4, add nothing to your site, and see exact Stripe totals next to your traffic.
