InfluxDB vs Tinylytics
A side-by-side editorial comparison of InfluxDB and Tinylytics — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
InfluxDB vs Tinylytics: at a glance
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.
What is Tinylytics?
Tinylytics adds account-wide IP ignores and monitoring-only sites
Tinylytics now lets users ignore IP addresses across all their sites at once and switch a site to monitoring only, with new embed options. October brought a simpler embed script, exclusion of cloud-network and Tor traffic, an Ultra-only SEO audit that uses an AI model to rank fixes, and automatic form tracking.

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.

Tinylytics adds account-wide IP ignores and monitoring-only sites
◆ Current state
Tinylytics now lets users ignore IP addresses across all their sites at once and switch a site to monitoring only, with new embed options. October brought a simpler embed script, exclusion of cloud-network and Tor traffic, an Ultra-only SEO audit that uses an AI model to rank fixes, and automatic form tracking.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent releases are about cleaner numbers: bot filtering, network exclusions and now account-level IP rules. The SEO audit and MCP tooling are the only moves outside that, both on the higher plans.
◆ Prediction
More account-level settings that apply across sites are likely, following the IP rules; the entries do not show a new product area coming.
