What is Swetrix?

Swetrix adds opt-in outbound link tracking, filling another gap in its tracker.

Swetrix ships roughly one tracker update a month across its JS and Node SDKs. tracker-js 4.8.0 adds automatic outbound link tracking, off by default, with clicks reported under Traffic → Pages → Outbound links and support for dynamic links and middle-clicks. Earlier releases added profile identification (4.5.0), URL parameter and hash allowlists (4.6.0), and automatic page titles (4.7.0 and Node 3.5.0).

What is Fulcrum?

Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.

Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.

Swetrix vs Fulcrum: editorial side-by-side

S
Swetrix
ANALYTICS
5.0

Swetrix adds opt-in outbound link tracking, filling another gap in its tracker.

◆ Current state

Swetrix ships roughly one tracker update a month across its JS and Node SDKs. tracker-js 4.8.0 adds automatic outbound link tracking, off by default, with clicks reported under Traffic → Pages → Outbound links and support for dynamic links and middle-clicks. Earlier releases added profile identification (4.5.0), URL parameter and hash allowlists (4.6.0), and automatic page titles (4.7.0 and Node 3.5.0).

◆ Where it's heading

Swetrix is filling the standard web-analytics checklist one opt-in feature at a time: identity, URL hygiene, page titles, and now outbound clicks. Each release keeps new collection off by default, which fits a privacy-first positioning. The JS tracker usually leads and the Node SDK follows where the feature applies server-side.

◆ Prediction

Expect more opt-in automatic event types in the JS tracker, such as file downloads or form events, on a roughly monthly cadence. The entries don't show what the dashboard will do with identified profiles beyond showing traits.

ANALYTICS
6.3

Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.

◆ Current state

Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks continue: precision GPS for field crews, with external receivers and accuracy settings, and controlled access for outside AI assistants through the MCP server. Most releases are fixes on a weekly mobile and web cadence.

◆ Prediction

Expect the GPS integration to leave beta and the MCP server to move past alpha with OAuth as the default sign-in.
