Introducing LaunchPulse: analytics for products that just shipped

Why we built a $5 analytics dashboard for indie founders, and what it does (and deliberately doesn't do).

Every founder we know has the same tab open the morning after a launch: an analytics dashboard they don’t fully understand, showing numbers they’re not sure they can trust, for a product with maybe forty visitors.

That’s the moment LaunchPulse was built for.

The problem with “real” analytics

Big analytics suites are built for teams with data analysts, event taxonomies, and a quarterly OKR review. When you’re one person with a landing page, a Stripe link, and a waitlist, you need answers to exactly three questions:

  1. Is anyone coming? — traffic, and where it comes from.
  2. Is anyone signing up? — conversions from visit to signup.
  3. Is anyone actually using it? — activation: did they reach the moment your product is for?

Everything else is noise you’ll care about later, if you’re lucky enough to have a “later.”

What LaunchPulse does

One dashboard per project, with a funnel that goes Visit → Signup → First Value, your top traffic sources, a live activity feed, and a weekly email that tells you what changed. That’s the whole product, on purpose.

Setup takes one prompt if you use an AI coding agent:

npx launchpulse@latest init

or a tiny snippet if you don’t. Either way you’ll see your first events in under five minutes.

Built bilingual from day one

LaunchPulse speaks English and Spanish everywhere — dashboard, reports, docs, and this blog. Not a translated afterthought: both languages are first-class, because founders ship from everywhere.

$5. That’s it.

One plan, up to 3 projects, 1 million events a month. Cancel anytime. If your product grows past that, congratulations — you’ll have outgrown us for the best possible reason.
