We’re excited to roll out SimpleStats V5 – a big step forward in performance, flexibility, and usability. Here’s a closer look at what’s new:

Improved performance and scalability

We've migrated to PostgreSQL. That means faster queries, especially when you explore bigger time ranges. Navigating charts and comparing long-term data should feel noticeably snappier.

Event-Based Pricing

Instead of global visitor or registration limits, pricing is now based on actual tracked events. This gives you more flexibility and avoids hitting artificial ceilings. We offer a 5K Monthly Events free plan!

Email Reports

You can now receive weekly or monthly email summaries for your projects. Head over to User → Notifications to enable and customize them per project.

Instant Alerts

Want to know right away when someone signs up or makes a payment? You can now enable instant notifications for new users and payments. It’s off by default – ideal for small teams that want to stay in the loop without checking the dashboard all the time.

SimpleStats New User Alert

Redesigned Onboarding

We’ve streamlined the sign-up and project creation process to make it faster and more intuitive – especially for first-time users.

Dark Mode Improvements

Dark mode got a polish, with better contrast and more consistent styling. And finally: you can now toggle it from your user profile!

And many other improvements

  • Remember Selected Filters - When switching projects or revisiting the dashboard, your last selected time range and comparison settings now stick. No more auto-reset to “last 7 days” – finally.
  • Fixed DAU/WAU/MAU Calculations - Some edge cases were messing up active user metrics. That’s now sorted – you’ll get accurate numbers for daily, weekly, and monthly activity.
  • UI/UX Improvements - We’ve cleaned up spacing, alignment, and typography throughout the app. It feels smoother and easier to navigate overall.
  • Mobile Improvements - The interface adapts better on smaller screens – navigation, filters, and stats now work more reliably on mobile devices.
  • Improved API Ingestion - Stats from the API are now processed via queue and contextualized on ingestion. That means more consistent results and better performance, especially under load.
  • Better Docs - We rewrote parts of the documentation to be more helpful and easier to skim – including examples, endpoint descriptions, and setup guides.
  • Click to Zoom (Also for Weekly Views) - You can now click into chart bars – including weekly views – to drill down into specific data ranges. Handy for quick deep dives.
  • Many Small Fixes - We cleaned up edge cases, resolved layout quirks, and fixed bugs reported over the past months. Everything feels a little snappier now.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
