Questions
Is there a free alternative to Similarweb?

Is UGCLive Analytics a traffic checker?
No. It shows where users come from and why, channel by channel. A report includes a traffic estimate when a public source has one.
Does UGCLive Analytics work for apps?
Yes. Paste an App Store or Google Play link or an app's name and it reads the listing, its creators, ads and accounts.
