FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Cookie banners, GA4 discrepancies, what the AI visibility feature costs, and what happens if you cancel.

01Do I need a cookie banner?

Not for the tracker. It sets nothing on the visitor's device and stores no identifier that lasts beyond the day — the identifier is a hash of IP and user agent salted with a secret replaced every night, so yesterday cannot be linked to today by anyone, including us. That is a description of the default, not legal advice. Switching a site to identified mode changes it, and that consent becomes your responsibility.

02Why do your numbers not match Google Analytics?

They will not, and neither is wrong. GA4 is removed by content blockers on a large share of traffic, samples big reports, and withholds rows for privacy thresholds. A first-party script is not blocked the same way and counts sessions by different rules. The GA4 tab shows both on one axis; the useful reading is whether the ratio between them stays steady.

03What does the AI visibility feature actually cost?

It is the one feature that spends real money, because you cannot learn that an assistant did not mention you without asking it. Measured per sample: Grok $0.245, Claude $0.116, ChatGPT $0.063, Perplexity $0.0005, Gemini $0.0002 — Grok is roughly 490 times Perplexity for the same question. Your plan includes a monthly budget, it is a hard cap checked before a sweep and again inside it, and you can set it lower but not higher. It never bills a surprise.

04How long does data stick around?

Raw events are kept 30 days on the free tier and 365 on a paid plan. Daily rollups — counts with no per-visit detail — are kept indefinitely, which is what lets a chart span years without keeping a log of individual visits.

05Is there a free tier, or just a trial?

A real free tier: 10,000 events a month on one site, with 30 days of history. It does not expire and does not ask for a card.

06What happens if I cancel?

The subscription runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, then the account drops to the free tier. No notice period, no cancellation fee. You can export everything through the API first, and deleting a site deletes its data.

07Can an AI agent read my analytics?

Yes — there is an MCP server at https://asuito.com/api/mcp with twelve read-only tools, so Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT can answer "how was traffic this week?" directly. A read-only API key is enough.

08Do you do session replay or heatmaps?

No, deliberately. Recording what someone does on a page is the thing the cookieless design exists to avoid. If that is what you need, this is the wrong tool.

09Which platforms do you monitor for brand mentions?

X, YouTube, Hacker News and Bluesky work today. Reddit and LinkedIn both require approval from those companies — Reddit for commercial data use, LinkedIn for its Community Management API — and until that is granted the Integrations panel shows them as not connected rather than pretending they are quiet.

10Do you have SOC 2, or a data-processing agreement?

No. This is a small product run by one person. If your procurement needs those, it is the wrong tool, and saying so here is cheaper for both of us than saying it after a trial.
