HyperDX vs Countly

HyperDX vs Countly: at a glance
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX's CLI connects AI coding agents to your logs with one command.
HyperDX 2.44, published under the ClickStack name, adds `hdx mcp install`, which checks an API key with hidden input and registers the ClickStack MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The release also adds team-owned API keys that survive their creator leaving, conditional ad hoc dashboard filters, a working Denoise option, and collector seeds with session ID columns and ZSTD(3) compression. The app's own telemetry moved to the ClickStack SDKs and stable OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.

HyperDX
5.0ANALYTICS
HyperDX's CLI connects AI coding agents to your logs with one command.
◆ Current state
HyperDX 2.44, published under the ClickStack name, adds `hdx mcp install`, which checks an API key with hidden input and registers the ClickStack MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The release also adds team-owned API keys that survive their creator leaving, conditional ad hoc dashboard filters, a working Denoise option, and collector seeds with session ID columns and ZSTD(3) compression. The app's own telemetry moved to the ClickStack SDKs and stable OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
◆ Where it's heading
HyperDX is folding into the ClickStack brand and making AI agents a first-class consumer of its data, with key setup moving from copied snippets to a CLI flow. Session replay and OpenTelemetry alignment, started in 2.43, continue at the schema level.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining HyperDX package and repository names to switch to ClickStack, following the moved GitHub links, image name and SDKs in this release.
Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.
◆ Where it's heading
Countly is still mostly hardening access control, carrying the token-scoping work from 25.03.58 into every plugin that reads or changes app data. At the same time it keeps the self-hosted stack on current runtimes.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 24.05 patch that backports these scoping fixes, as 24.05.55 did after 25.03.58.
