<li>Views over time chart (daily)</li>
<li>Activity heatmap — discover when members are most active by hour and day</li>
<li>Geographic distribution map</li>
<li>Cohort retention matrix — see who keeps coming back month over month</li>
<li>Scroll drop-off report — where members stop reading</li>

<li>Members list with sortable stats</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Privacy & GDPR:</strong></p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Membership plugin integrations:</strong></p>

<h4>Premium Support</h4>
<p>MemberBehavior Insights is free and fully functional. A premium license from <a href="https://appskey.ca" rel="nofollow ugc">appskey.ca</a> provides priority support and early access to new features.</p>
<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to two external services:</p>
<p><strong>1. ip-api.com (Geolocation)</strong><br />
When geolocation is enabled (default: off), the server-side IP address of each visitor is sent to ip-api.com to determine their city, region, and country. No personal data beyond the IP address is transmitted. This service is free and requires no API key, but is rate-limited.<br />
* Service URL: http://ip-api.com<br />
* Privacy policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal<br />
* Data sent: visitor IP address<br />
* When: on each new page view when enabled (results are cached for 24 hours)<br />
* Can be enabled: Yes — Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Geolocation</p>
<p><strong>2. memberanalyticspro.appskey.ca (License Management)</strong><br />
When a license key is activated, the plugin sends the key and your site URL to the licensing server to validate the license. This call is made on activation and then throttled to at most once every 6 hours thereafter.<br />
* Service URL: https://memberanalyticspro.appskey.ca<br />
* Privacy policy: https://appskey.ca/privacy<br />
* Data sent: license key, site URL (scheme + host only), site name (on activation only)<br />
* When: on license activation and periodically to re-validate<br />
* Can be disabled: No — required for license validation only; geolocation can be disabled independently</p>

<h4>Gating Posts</h4>
<p>When posting a new post or editing an existing post (or a custom post type) you will see a dropdown in the right hand column titled “Patreon Level”.</p>
<p>This box shows a dropdown of your Patreon tiers. When you select a Patreon tier and then update the post, visitors will need to be your patrons from that tier level or above to be able to access that post.</p>
<p>To make a locked post public again, just choose “Everyone” from the select box and update your post.</p>
<h4>Protecting Videos</h4>
<p>It is  difficult to protect videos due the intensive bandwidth requirements of hosting video  and having to rely on third parties such as Youtube or Vimeo. Youtube allows you to set videos to ‘private’ but Vimeo offers extra controls by only allowing videos to be played on specific domains.

Works well with a responsive developer. (Note, o)


Does What It Needs to do


The Pro Version stopped working at 1.6.4: Users were unable to connect to Patreon. 



Downgrading to 1.6.3 fixed the problem. Unfortunately all further updates didn't fix the problem, only a downgrade would make it work again. The current version can't be tested without updating my subscription. 



Support disappeared after the first response, where a fix was promised but never delivered


Pro Version stopped working - Support disappeared
