Your content is worth more than a pageview.

Widgetail is the value layer for web content. Today it measures real engagement with your content: pageviews, unique sessions and scroll depth. We're building content value scoring and value-based monetization on top of that measurement.

Analytics is the part that works today, and it's the foundation. But the goal is bigger than reporting what happened. Analytics tells you what happened; Widgetail is building toward telling you what it was worth, and connecting that value to revenue.

How the analytics work

Today: pageviews, unique sessions and scroll depth (the furthest a visitor gets down a page), with traffic over time and top pages in the Console. The script also records coarse context such as device type, country and referrer domain. Reading behavior such as engaged time and bounce rate, and audience breakdowns like traffic sources, are being built.

Partly, and we'll say exactly which part. The measurement layer is live: pageviews, sessions, scroll depth and a dashboard. Content value scoring, value-based access for AI agents, an optional payment offer for ad-blocking visitors and advertiser signals are in development. None of those are available to use yet.

You can add one script tag to your site and see pageviews, unique sessions, scroll depth, traffic over time and top pages in the Console dashboard. Access is through the early-access list, so join it and we'll be in touch about getting set up.

Get early access

Content value is how much a piece of content matters to the people who consume it: whether it was actually read, how deeply, and whether it earned real attention rather than just a page load. Widgetail is building a way to score it from real engagement.

General-purpose analytics tools are built to report traffic: who came, from where, to which page. Widgetail is built around engagement per page, with the goal of scoring content value and connecting it to revenue. It's a single script tag, so it can run alongside whatever you use now. We're not claiming to replace a full traffic-analysis suite.

We're exploring how valuable content could carry an economic signal when machines access it, such as value-based pricing for AI agents and crawlers. Most agents don't run a page's JavaScript, so it would need a separate routing change at the edge, apart from the analytics script.

AI agents and websites

No. The goal is to add options, not to take advertising away. Ads still work for many sites. We're exploring additional ways for valuable content to earn: from machine access, from visitors who would rather not see ads, and from better engagement signals for advertisers.

Publisher monetization

No. The script uses an anonymous session ID generated in the browser that rotates on its own. Widgetail does not collect IP addresses or device fingerprints. Any future advertiser signal is designed to be aggregate-only.

Pricing hasn't been decided yet. We would rather say that than guess.

There is no launch date yet, and we won't announce dates we can't keep. The roadmap shows what's done, being built and planned for each stage, and joining early access is the way to hear as pieces ship.
