I love the concept of www.performable.com however pricing is ridiculously expensive for a small-medium startups.

Is there any cheap alternative for Performable?

I'm actually interested in customer Customer Profiles feature where they cna track down a customer from interested to order process.

http://www.performable.com/site-analytics/

Or can we implement a similar feature by using Google Analytics in our website?

Regarding the landing pages part of Performable, a search finds this: answers.onstartups.com/questions/14921/… Regarding analytics, there are many players, including KissMetrics, MixPanel, etc. I cannot make a recommendation, I'm not a user. – Jesper Mortensen♦ Dec 7 '10 at 19:53

Thanks for the post. I'm the CEO of Performable. I'd be happy to have you using our product, ping me and I'll hook you up with a "startup" friendly version of our platform.

Cheers, David

Welcome to the forum. If you can share more details about your startup plan it would be great. You seem like you have a winning product, but it is a bit expensive for startups. Would be nice to see if you can have a plan that limits 1 user, and number of hits, just to give startups a period to ramp up. – Frank Dec 7 '10 at 20:53
Hi David, thanks a lot for the offer. That'd be great. I dropped you an email already. To ..@dcancel.com Thanks, – the dictator Dec 7 '10 at 22:29

Performable has a great platform. With GA you wont be able to collect customer level specifics due to their privacy policy. They still allow for funelling.

As alternatives you can look at:

  • CrazyEgg.com - Expensive but neat heat maps of how your users interact with each page
  • woopra.com - realtime analytics, plus chat which is a nice feature
  • GetClickly.com - My Personal Favorite
  • HaveaMint.com
  • Piwik.org - Open Source self hosted

On our sites we run a combination of both GA and GetClicky.com We also integrate our own custom server side code which uses cookies and a database to track specific actions by each of our visitors.

You have to find a combination what works best for you, but having GA on your site never hurts.

GetClicky looks really nice, funnel doesn't look as advanced as others but generally really nice and affordable. – the dictator Dec 10 '10 at 15:01
Creating a funnell is very easy if you know any server side programming language. You simply track the series of pages for each visitor, and how long on each. – Frank Dec 10 '10 at 19:48
