AgencyAnalytics vs Apache HertzBeat: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAnalytics keeps widening its integrations while tables learn row-level math
AgencyAnalytics publishes weekly product notes. The latest two added dark mode, Custom Metrics computed per row in table widgets, CallRail sentiment and tag breakdowns, HighLevel email campaign reporting, row-level period comparisons across 23 more integrations, and Quantcast as a new ad source. Mid-October brought its MCP server's first write actions and an AI Tracker view of existing AI answers that mention a client.
What is Apache HertzBeat?
HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.
HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.

AgencyAnalytics
5.0ANALYTICS
AgencyAnalytics keeps widening its integrations while tables learn row-level math
◆ Current state
AgencyAnalytics publishes weekly product notes. The latest two added dark mode, Custom Metrics computed per row in table widgets, CallRail sentiment and tag breakdowns, HighLevel email campaign reporting, row-level period comparisons across 23 more integrations, and Quantcast as a new ad source. Mid-October brought its MCP server's first write actions and an AI Tracker view of existing AI answers that mention a client.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel: more data sources and deeper table analysis for reporting, and AI features that both write to the account and track client visibility in AI answers.
◆ Prediction
More integrations will likely gain row-level comparison, since this week's release extended it to 23 at once.
Apache HertzBeat
0.0ANALYTICS
HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.
◆ Current state
HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.9.0 cycle is moving slowly, about seven weeks between candidates, and the rc2 fix points at native collector builds as current work. The release record stays thin, so most of what changes has to be read from the repository.
◆ Prediction
A 1.9.0 final or a further candidate is the next likely entry; nothing in the feed suggests timing.
