Vectr4 explained
What is Vectr4 analytics?
Vectr4 is self-hosted product analytics for indie hackers, bootstrapped SaaS teams, and technical founders. It tracks events, funnels, sessions, and user journeys from a deployment running on your own VPS.

01
Product analytics, not another traffic counter
Web analytics explains visits, referrers, pages, and traffic sources. Product analytics explains what happens after someone enters your app: which actions they take, where activation stalls, and how they move through a funnel.
Vectr4 focuses on that second problem. It gives a small team a controlled place to inspect product events, conversion funnels, session activity, and user paths without adopting a broad enterprise data platform.
02
What Vectr4 tracks
- Custom events generated by meaningful actions inside your product.
- Funnels that connect steps such as signup, activation, checkout, and retention actions.
- Sessions that group activity into a useful view of product usage.
- User journeys that show the sequence of actions across your app.
03
How self-hosting works
Vectr4 is delivered as a Docker Compose deployment for a VPS you control. The stack includes the dashboard, ingestion services, and supporting data services required by the product. Start with the Docker installation guide, then use the broader guide to self-hosting analytics for DNS, HTTPS, backups, and operations.
Self-hosting gives you control over the deployment and data location, but it also makes you responsible for server security, updates, backups, capacity, and availability.
04
Who Vectr4 is for
Vectr4 fits technical founders and small SaaS teams that want focused analytics, know how to operate a VPS, and prefer predictable infrastructure costs. Teams needing a fully managed service, experimentation suite, data warehouse, or enterprise governance may be better served by a broader platform.
Vectr4 costs €79 as a one-time purchase, including 12 months of updates and support. An optional €49 renewal adds another 12 months of updates and support; VPS and operating costs remain separate.
