Why choose Kilden

Five reasons teams pick Kilden.

No borrowed logos, no vague claims — five things the product does that a stitched-together stack can't.

01

One source of data, not five tools stitched together

Analytics, replay, flags, campaigns and chat usually mean five vendors, five trackers and numbers that never match. In Kilden every feature reads the same events and the same people — the funnel, the campaign and the replay always agree.

02

Identity you can actually trust

Your backend signs who the user is — a standard JWT, nothing exotic. Nobody can impersonate a customer to read their chat or fire their campaigns. Most tools take identity on faith; Kilden verifies it.

03

Minutes to first insight, not weeks

One install with autocapture: pageviews, clicks and forms captured from minute one — no tracking plan meeting required. Server SDKs when you need facts from the backend.

04

The whole growth loop on one bill

Kilden replaces an analytics tool, a replay tool, a flag service, an email platform and a chat widget. You pay for what you use — events, replays, messages — never for seats. Your whole team gets in.

A free tier that's the product, not a demo

Every feature included, generous limits, no credit card. You upgrade when your traffic grows — not to unlock the product.

06 · Proof, not testimonials

We run Kilden on Kilden.

This site is customer zero. Everything on this page is running on the product it sells — watch it work.

The chat bubble in the corner

That's Kilden Messenger. Ask us anything — we see your visit in context, not a blank slate.

The surveys you might see

Any banner or survey on this site is a Kilden in-app unit, targeted by behavior — no deploy behind it.

The emails after you sign up

Our onboarding nudges are a Kilden campaign. They cancel themselves the moment you activate.

This very page view

It's already an event in our own dashboard, through the exact pipeline you'd get.
