8 Analytics Tools I Actually Use Every Day

I started out as a data analyst, and now I’m an entrepreneur. But one thing hasn’t changed — I make decisions based on data, not gut feelings.

Here are the main tools I use almost daily:

1. Julius AI — AI Assistant for Data Analysis

— Great for all kinds of data analytics (including marketing, finance), data science, and scientific research.
— Supports different data formats, including PostgreSQL
— Uses several AI models to get better answers
— Gives more accurate results than ChatGPT’s built-in data analysis

I use it for quick daily analysis and visualization.

Free limited access.

2. Google Analytics — Web Analytics Classic

A basic but powerful tool.

I use it to see where my website traffic comes from, who my audience is, and how users move through my funnel.

Free.

3. Ahrefs Web Analytics — Google Analytics Alternative

Fast, easy-to-use live website analytics.
Not as many features as GA, but very convenient.

I use it daily to double-check stats.

Free.

4. Mida — Run Tests in 10 Minutes

— Helps you run simple A/B tests without coding.
— Easy to set up with a tracking pixel
— Works with GA, Amplitude, Mixpanel
— Doesn’t slow down your site
— ISO 27001 certified — they take data security seriously

I use it to test landing page text, buttons, and structure.
Free limited access.

5. Similarweb — Competitor Analysis

Helps me see where competitors get traffic from, which channels work best, and details like geography and audience demographics.

Free limited access.

The paid version offers more in-depth traffic data and market research tools. I’m thinking about getting it.

6. Semrush — SEO & Competitor Research

Some features overlap with Similarweb.

I mainly use it for SEO analysis. Planning to try its social media tools soon.

Free limited access.

7. PostgreSQL — The Backbone of My Projects

A reliable, scalable database system.

I use it to store all project data. It’s a top choice for Django (my main backend framework).

Free.

8. Channel Analyzer — My Tool for Telegram Channels

Analyzes any Telegram channel and gives useful, data-based insights:

— How to improve monetization
— Where your content needs work
— How to grow faster and smarter

Right now I only use it internally, but early access is coming soon. Sign up here to get notified.
