Clicky vs Kubecost: at a glance
What is Clicky?
Clicky launches an official browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
Clicky is a real-time web analytics service that ships rarely. On 11 November it released an official browser extension for Chrome, with Firefox pending store approval. A week earlier the Account API moved from username and password to proper API keys, and both APIs began accepting POST requests.
What is Kubecost?
Kubecost cuts three 3.3.2 release candidates in two days, still without notes.
Kubecost opened the 3.3.2 patch line on November 11 and tagged rc.1 through rc.3 by November 13. Each is an automated in-code version bump with no described changes, as with every tag since October, when the 3.3.1 and 3.2.5 candidates went out the same way.

◆ Current state
Clicky is a real-time web analytics service that ships rarely. On 11 November it released an official browser extension for Chrome, with Firefox pending store approval. A week earlier the Account API moved from username and password to proper API keys, and both APIs began accepting POST requests.
◆ 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.
Kubecost
5.0ANALYTICS
Kubecost cuts three 3.3.2 release candidates in two days, still without notes.
◆ Current state
Kubecost opened the 3.3.2 patch line on November 11 and tagged rc.1 through rc.3 by November 13. Each is an automated in-code version bump with no described changes, as with every tag since October, when the 3.3.1 and 3.2.5 candidates went out the same way.
◆ Where it's heading
The quick run of candidates suggests 3.3.2 is close to a final tag. The public tags still say nothing about what the patch fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 3.3.2 final tag within days; what it changes will not be visible from these release notes.
