Detailed Review
SenseGap is not a replacement for Plausible or Pirsch, it measures something they do not. It records requests from AI crawlers and assistants such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, checks each one against the IP ranges and reverse DNS records its company publishes, and labels it Real, Unverified or Fake. It also counts the people who click a link in an answer from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude or Copilot. The company is Tudor Totolici, an individual based in Romania.
The data arrives through a Cloudflare Worker that reads requests after the page has been served, so visitors wait for nothing and no script runs in their browser.
Ordinary human visits are discarded before storage, query strings are removed, IPv4 addresses are cut to a /24, and visit records are deleted after 90 days. The bot list and verification rules are published under the MIT licence. Reports show which pages AI reads, how often it returns, the errors it hits and what robots.txt allows.
The caveats are real. The product runs entirely on Cloudflare and takes payments through Stripe, both US providers, and the storage region is only given on request. It is a one-person operation in private beta, with no certification and no register entry checked. Pricing is in US dollars. It only suits sites already on Cloudflare, or willing to connect through it, and it will not replace a classic pageview tool.
What SenseGap does well
- Verifies each AI bot against the IP ranges and DNS records its company publishes
- Counts real visitors sent by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot
- No cookies or scripts on visitors, and IP addresses shortened before storage
- Bot list and verification rules open source under the MIT licence
- Published plans from $9 a month with the full dashboard on every plan
Where SenseGap falls short
- Measures AI and bot traffic only, so it sits beside a pageview tool rather than replacing it
- Runs on Cloudflare and Stripe, both US providers, with the storage region only given on request
- One-person operation in private beta, with no independent certification published
- Priced in US dollars, and connecting is built around Cloudflare
Standout feature. It checks every claimed AI bot against its owner's published IP ranges, so fake GPTBots stay out of the numbers.
