Parse.ly

Real-time content analytics platform measuring audience engagement and content performance for publishers and marketers.

Parse.ly is a content analytics platform built for newsrooms, publishers, and content marketing teams, now owned by Automattic. It tracks real-time and historical engagement across a site's content — more than 30 audience-centric metrics, up to 13 months of history — and surfaces what's currently resonating so editorial and homepage decisions can be made on live data rather than end-of-day reports. Higher tiers add conversion and multi-touch attribution reporting, audience segmentation, video analytics, geographic breakdowns, and single sign-on. It's typically deployed via a JavaScript tracker alongside a CMS (commonly WordPress) and is sold in three named plans, all quote-priced through a sales conversation rather than published self-serve pricing.
