Cloudflare sees the bots at the edge. Botsanalyser sees them per page.
Cloudflare AI Crawl Control and Cloudflare Web Analytics are powerful if your whole site already runs through Cloudflare. Botsanalyser runs inside your CMS, works everywhere, and makes per-URL crawler data exportable to GA4, Looker, HubSpot, and your own services.
CDN-level bot reporting and controls.
- ✓Edge-level bot detection and blocking across the whole Cloudflare network.Part of AI Crawl Control and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
- ✓Volume, country, and bot-family dashboards.Good for a CDN-wide view.
- ✗Only works if your site is proxied through Cloudflare.Shopify stores, most managed WordPress.com and Squarespace are not.
- ✗No per-URL breakdown inside the marketing tools.Edge reports, not marketing reports.
- ✗No native GA4, Looker, HubSpot, or Segment connectors.Limited export to Logpush on enterprise plans.
CMS-level bot analytics, API-first.
- ✓Runs inside the CMS plugin or as a universal script tag.CDN is not required.
- ✓Per-URL, per-bot, per-country breakdown in real time.Plus alerts, weekly email, and a public roadmap.
- ✓Works on Shopify, managed WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Magento, and every CMS behind them.No infra change required.
- ✓Native GA4, Looker Studio, HubSpot, BigQuery, and Segment connectors.Plus REST API and outbound webhooks for everything else.
- ✗Does not block bots. Botsanalyser measures; it does not firewall.Use Cloudflare or your WAF for that.

Use Cloudflare to block. Use Botsanalyser to understand.
These are not the same job. Cloudflare's AI Crawl Control is a policy surface. You decide, at the edge, which bots get through. That is valuable, especially if you are trying to stop model-training scraping without hurting search indexing.
Botsanalyser is a measurement surface. You see which bots reach your content, which pages they read, how often, and whether any of it is breaking. That is the data you need for SEO, for AI visibility work, and for the weekly report that lands in your boss's inbox.
Running both is common. Cloudflare handles policy at the network edge, Botsanalyser ships the data into your marketing stack.
Per-page bot analytics for every CMS.
