Clicky vs OpenReplay: at a glance
What is Clicky?
Clicky ships meaningful bot-blocking improvements but ships infrequently—four entries over five months with no new analytical features.
Clicky is a real-time web analytics platform that has been running since 2007. The product ships infrequently; the four most recent entries span April through August 2026. The most substantive release adds User Agent-based bot filtering with new country-level controls. A threat intelligence false positive incident (July 2026) required user intervention to correct misclassification by external security vendors.
What is OpenReplay?
OpenReplay moves assist and sourcemap services to Node 26; still no feature notes.
OpenReplay's recent releases are automated v1.26 and v1.27 backup tags. The newest batch moves the assist and sourcemap-reader services to Node 26 LTS with dependency upgrades, published as four separate tags; the rest are Helm chart version bumps. None describes a user-facing change.

2.5ANALYTICS
Clicky ships meaningful bot-blocking improvements but ships infrequently—four entries over five months with no new analytical features.
◆ Current state
Clicky is a real-time web analytics platform that has been running since 2007. The product ships infrequently; the four most recent entries span April through August 2026. The most substantive release adds User Agent-based bot filtering with new country-level controls. A threat intelligence false positive incident (July 2026) required user intervention to correct misclassification by external security vendors.
◆ Where it's heading
Clicky is maintaining its existing feature set—bot blocking, affiliate programs, backlinks—without adding new analytical capabilities. The product appears in steady-state maintenance mode rather than active feature development. The backlinks spotlight post (April 2026) suggests the team is aware some features go unused, and is investing in documentation/education rather than new development.
◆ Prediction
Clicky is unlikely to ship directional new features in the near term based on this cadence. The more likely moves are continued bot-blocking improvements and program-level incentives (affiliate credits) to retain its existing user base.
OpenReplay
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenReplay moves assist and sourcemap services to Node 26; still no feature notes.
◆ Current state
OpenReplay's recent releases are automated v1.26 and v1.27 backup tags. The newest batch moves the assist and sourcemap-reader services to Node 26 LTS with dependency upgrades, published as four separate tags; the rest are Helm chart version bumps. None describes a user-facing change.
◆ Where it's heading
The public release feed is mostly packaging and runtime maintenance, now applied to both the 1.26 and 1.27 lines. The Node 26 move shows backend upkeep continues, but there is no visible move toward a 1.28 release.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't show what's next; a tagged 1.27 or 1.28 release with real notes would be the first signal.
