Clicky vs InfluxDB
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Clicky and InfluxDB — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Clicky vs InfluxDB: at a glance
What is Clicky?
Clicky replaces password logins for its Account API with real API keys.
Clicky is a real-time web analytics service that ships rarely. Its November 3 update lets the Account API use proper API keys instead of the account username and password, and both the Account and Analytics APIs now accept POST requests. Earlier in 2026 it added User Agent bot filters and country controls, plus an affiliate-credit program.
What is InfluxDB?
InfluxDB keeps patching its 3.11 and 3.12 lines, now with a catalog repair tool.
InfluxDB 3.12.0 made authentication and RBAC generally available in Enterprise and added distributed compaction in beta. Since then the team has shipped patch pairs for 3.12 and 3.11: lost-write and catalog-load fixes in mid-October, and on 10-29 a catalog deadlock fix, correct column names for WAL plugins, and 429 instead of 500 when a query runs out of memory. 3.12.2 also gets the offline catalog repair command.

Clicky
2.5ANALYTICS
Clicky replaces password logins for its Account API with real API keys.
◆ Current state
Clicky is a real-time web analytics service that ships rarely. Its November 3 update lets the Account API use proper API keys instead of the account username and password, and both the Account and Analytics APIs now accept POST requests. Earlier in 2026 it added User Agent bot filters and country controls, plus an affiliate-credit program.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases are infrequent and focused on hygiene: bot filtering, tracking-code internals and now API credentials. Nothing in the entries points to new analytics features.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a confident call; the most likely next items are further security or bot-filtering changes rather than new reports.
InfluxDB
5.0ANALYTICS
InfluxDB keeps patching its 3.11 and 3.12 lines, now with a catalog repair tool.
◆ Current state
InfluxDB 3.12.0 made authentication and RBAC generally available in Enterprise and added distributed compaction in beta. Since then the team has shipped patch pairs for 3.12 and 3.11: lost-write and catalog-load fixes in mid-October, and on 10-29 a catalog deadlock fix, correct column names for WAL plugins, and 429 instead of 500 when a query runs out of memory. 3.12.2 also gets the offline catalog repair command.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent work is about data correctness and recovery, not new features. Two release lines get the same fixes, and an offline repair tool suggests catalog corruption has reached real users.
◆ Prediction
More paired 3.12.x and 3.11.x patches are likely before any 3.13 feature release, since every release since 3.12.0 has been a fix.
