StatCounter offers what we believe is the best free web counter service in the world - it is StatCounter's foundation, and we constantly strive to improve it. In fact, our free service offers more than most pay-only services! However, some of our members have demanded even more, and so we have introduced a number of optional upgrades to enhance the service available for such users.

Our free service is aimed at websites with 250,000 pageloads per month or less and offers lifetime summary stats and a detailed analysis of your last 500 pageloads.

What is your log-size?

StatCounter offers lifetime summary stats covering all your pageloads for free. However in addition we also offer the most detailed analysis available anywhere for a smaller number of your latest pageloads. Your log-size determines how many pageloads are covered by this vastly more detailed analysis. The free service offers a log-size of 500 pageloads, however upgraded Services offer more.

If you find your site growing beyond 250,000 pageloads a month, or requiring detailed analysis of more pageloads, you can optionally upgrade at any time from your free account (when logged in, click on the Upgrade link).

The table below outlines the similarities and differences between the free and paid Services - as you can see, the free service is very well featured! To find out more about a particular feature, just click it for a description.
