Start with Conversific — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Conversific
Conversific aggregates Shopify orders and Google Analytics metrics into pre-packaged charts and cohort grids. An AI coding agent can generate a self-hosted PostgreSQL schema and Metabase or Tremor dashboard to run these calculations natively.

DataFast
The pageview half of DataFast is the same weekend build as Plausible or Umami. The revenue half is where it stops being a weekend. Attribution is only worth anything if the anonymous visitor who found your launch post on a phone is still recognisably the customer who pays from a laptop three weeks later, and that stitching is exactly what an agent will hand you a naive version of. A localStorage id plus an email match at signup does get you a channel table that is directionally right for a single-domain solo product, which is genuinely worth having. It also quietly under-counts every cross-device path, every privacy browser that clears storage between visits, and every customer who pays with a different address than they signed up with. You can build the dashboard in a weekend. Trusting it enough to move ad spend is the part that keeps costing you weekends.
you can rebuild
- Record pageviews with their UTM and referrer channel, bind the anonymous visitor to a customer at signup, then take Stripe webhooks and show revenue per channel.
what you lose
- identity stitching across devices, browsers and cleared storage
- bot and AI-crawler filtering that stays current without you
- one-click installs for Shopify, Webflow, WordPress and 20 other platforms
- the live visitor feed and purchase-likelihood scoring
- the hosted MCP server and CLI for querying the data in plain English
