Cloudflare Analytics Side projects and anyone who only needs to know how many people visited and roughly where from.
Watch out for
Clerion It is built for site-wide traffic and growth questions. If you need programmatic event pipelines for a complex product funnel, a dedicated product-analytics tool fits better.

What a visit count leaves out
Maybe an error broke checkout for some of them. Maybe your best page has had a broken meta description for weeks. Cloudflare showed you 800 visitors. Clerion's job is to notice the rest and say which one matters most.
When Cloudflare Analytics is still the right tool
If you are already on Cloudflare and want free, zero-setup counts, use it. It works. The moment you ask why signups dropped, Clerion earns its place.
Switching from Cloudflare Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics has no export, so Clerion starts from the day you paste the line. Clerion is live the moment the first visitor arrives. You can leave Cloudflare's beacon in place. The two do not conflict.
