App analytics helps you understand how people interact with your Base44 app so you can make informed decisions. You can see how many people visit, which pages they view, where they come from, and how often they complete key actions like sign-ups or button clicks.
Important: The new Analytics tab is in the process of being released and some features might not be available in your dashboard yet.

Understanding your analytics

The Analytics tab in your app dashboard groups your traffic data into clear views so you can track how people use your app. At the top you can see your key metrics, followed by a time-based chart of visits and cards that break down your traffic by page, country, referrer, operating system, device, and any custom metrics you add. At the top you can see the following metrics:
  • Total visits: All visits in the selected period, including repeat visits from the same visitor.
  • Unique visitors: Each visitor counted once in the selected period, even if they visit multiple times.
  • Visit duration: The average length of a visit during the selected time range.
  • Live visitors: The number of people currently active in your app, updated in real time.
Below the top metrics, you can see a time-based chart of your visits over the selected period, a live visitors counter, and a set of cards. These cards break your data into different views, such as which pages people visit, where they are located, how they arrived at your app, which operating systems and devices they use, and any custom events or properties you decide to track.

Adding custom events

Custom events let you track specific actions people take in your app, such as button clicks, sign-ups or form submissions. Base44 uses AI to help you define these events and wire them into your app so they appear as cards in your Analytics tab. The card shows:
  • The name of your event, for example “Shop Now” button clicks.
  • A total count for the selected time range, such as Total clicks.
  • A chart that shows how the event changes over time.
You can filter and change the chart type of a custom event card in the same way as the built-in cards.
Important: The amount of custom events you can track depends on your plan:
  • Free: Up to 3 custom events.
  • Starter plan and higher: Unlimited custom events.

FAQs

Click a question below to learn more about app analytics in Base44.
Different analytics tools measure visits and visitors in different ways. Some focus on browser sessions, others focus on logged-in accounts, and each tool can handle timeouts or bot traffic differently. When you compare analytics with another platform, look at trends and relative changes instead of expecting identical numbers.
Analytics only stores data for the period that matches your plan. If you need longer history, you can use the Analytics API to pull data into your own data warehouse or reporting tools and archive it there.For custom events, you can export the data to a CSV file.
Analytics respects your app dashboard permissions. Anyone who can access the app dashboard can see Analytics.If you make changes to the Analytics dashboard, such as changing the chart types or adding custom events, everyone who has access will see the same view.
After you create and publish a custom event, trigger the action in your app yourself, then open Event details and check to see if an event is displayed.If you see new entries with recent timestamps, the event is tracking correctly. If not, make sure the latest version of your app is published and that you followed the steps from the AI chat to wire the event.
There is no reset button for analytics. Data remains available until it reaches the end of your plan’s retention period. To focus on a new period, use the date range selector to view only data from the date you care about.
Look at both numbers side by side. If unique visits are steady but total visits grows, the same people are visiting more often. If unique visits grow but total visits stays flat, new people arrive but do not return often, so you may want to improve retention.
First, check the date range to make sure you are looking at the right period. Then compare activity across several weeks to see if this is a consistent pattern or a short-term change.
Set a date range that starts just before your release and compare it with the period after. Look for changes in Unique Visitors and the Page Traffic, to see whether people are visiting the new areas more often.
