The three heap.js releases still fall inside the 90 days from 6 August.\n- OpenPanel (83): v3.30.0 was tagged on 6 November 2026 (30). 60 tagged releases between 8 August and 6 November (20). 572 commits since 8 August, a Discord server, a feedback board and email; issue response times weren't read because the GitHub API refused us for its rate limit (15 of 25). The official MCP registry has only a third-party OpenPanel server, not OpenPanel's own; official SDKs are current (10 of 15). Workflows build Docker images, SDKs and self-hosting releases; no test workflow was found in .github/workflows (8 of 10). 30+20+15+10+8 = 83.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: OpenPanel +18\n\n- Heap (57): OpenAPI 3.1 fragments are embedded in the Markdown of the track and identify pages. No single spec file was found, the property pages we read had empty fragments and user deletion is prose only (15). llms.txt and a .md copy of every page (10). Descriptions state purpose, limits and reserved keys, with little on when not to use a call (12). Required fields are marked and lengths stated in prose, with string types throughout, no enums and a free-form `properties` object (8). Curl examples on every page. Track and identify document 200 and 400 with an empty object, and only user deletion describes its error body (7). SDK changelogs are dated, but no changelog or version policy for the server-side API was found. Paths mix unversioned, v1 and v0 (5). Total 57. Per the 7 October check, not re-read on 4 November, because developers.heap.io sits on a host whose terms bar robots.\n- OpenPanel (75): A live OpenAPI 3.0.3 document with 93 operations, 67 described, generated by the framework and titled 'Elysia Documentation' version 0.0.0; MCP tools are defined in TypeScript with typed inputs (22 of 25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and Markdown pages (10). Tool descriptions say when to use them, for example list_event_names is to be called first when event names aren't known (14 of 20). 143 enums in the spec and typed MCP inputs (11 of 15). Curl examples in the API docs; error responses aren't documented per endpoint (9 of 15). Tagged releases on GitHub with notes, unversioned API paths and no changelog page (9 of 15). 22+10+14+11+9+9 = 75.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: OpenPanel +17\n\n- Heap (66): Closed service with published terms, now Contentsquare's master services agreement (15). The DPA (June 2026) caps Product Analytics retention at 37 months from collection unless agreed otherwise and links the sub-processor list. heap.io still carries a 2019 website terms page from Heap Inc. beside the Contentsquare documents (22). No deprecation policy for the API was found. Contentsquare's docs carry migration guides from the Heap SDKs to the CSQ SDK without an end date that we found (4). Sub-processor list (June 2026) with locations, AWS in Ireland, Frankfurt and Virginia and OpenAI for Sense Chat (20). Total 61. Per the 7 October check, not re-read on 4 November, apart from the heap.io website terms (still dated 30 August 2019) and Contentsquare's terms of service (29 January 2026).\n- OpenPanel (83): AGPL-3.0 for the whole product, and the about page says there is no enterprise edition (30). Terms and privacy policy of 21 May 2026 agree, with a DPA published, transient IP use, data ownership kept by the customer, and providers named with locations. Retention periods are general rather than stated in days (22 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices found; v3.0.0 was a major release on 16 October 2026 (4 of 20). Sub-processors and data locations disclosed in the privacy policy (Hetzner, Germany) (18 of 20). 30+22+4+18 = 74.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: OpenPanel +10\n\n- Heap (25): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The Free plan and its 10,000-session limit are public. Growth needs an estimate after signup and Pro and Premier say Contact Us, so no paid price is published (5). Free plan with APIs included. No card is mentioned on the pricing page, and the signup form needs JavaScript we couldn't run (20). A person signs up in a browser and copies the environment ID (0). Total 25. Per the 7 October check, not re-read on 4 November (www.heap.io is paused on its terms).\n- OpenPanel (35): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Public prices by event tier from $2.50 a month, with no overage charges; tiers rather than a per-event rate (15 of 20). 30-day free trial with no card, and free self-hosting (20). Signup is in a browser and client keys are created in the dashboard (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: OpenPanel +5\n\n- Heap (49): Responses are an empty object, so context cost is small, but there is nothing to read back (15). No pagination or filtering because the reference has no read endpoint. Bulk calls take 1,000 events or users (5). Errors on track and identify are a bare 400. User deletion returns `err.message` with 401 and 404 explained (6). `idempotency_key` on track and bulk track, and property writes overwrite, so retries are safe (15). Track needs three fields and timestamps default to now. No current official server SDK was found. heap-api on npm is 1.0.1 from 2016 (8). Total 49. Per the 7 October check, not re-read on 4 November, because developers.heap.io sits on a host whose terms bar robots.\n- OpenPanel (54): 51 MCP tools, more than 30 (5). We added 3 because a read client doesn't get the 9 dashboard management tools (8 of 25). Insights endpoints take startDate, endDate, range, filters, cursor and limit (18 of 20). Errors aren't documented beyond 401 and 429 (12 of 20). No readOnlyHint or destructiveHint in the MCP source, no idempotency keys; delete_dashboard refuses a non-empty dashboard without forceDelete (3 of 20). Few required parameters, and SDKs for JavaScript, React, Next.js, Vue, React Native, Swift, Kotlin and Python (13 of 15). 8+18+12+3+13 = 54.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Heap | OpenPanel | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 47 | 70 | OpenPanel +23 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 57 | 75 | OpenPanel +18 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 49 | 54 | OpenPanel +5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 41 | 41 | even |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 25 | 35 | OpenPanel +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 63 | 83 | OpenPanel +20 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 66 | 83 | OpenPanel +17 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **48.2 · D** | **61 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Heap | OpenPanel |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Contentsquare (Content Square, Inc.) | OpenPanel AB |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://heapanalytics.com` | `https://api.openpanel.dev/mcp` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| Price for event analytics | not published | $30 per month (plan) |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Contentsquare's master services agreement.

Limits are published, bulk calls take 1,000 items and track accepts an idempotency key. The API returns no analytics, and ingest calls carry no secret beyond the environment ID. Heap's help centre lists a Heap MCP article, which a bot check stopped us reading, so the MCP server is ungraded.\n\n**OpenPanel.** OpenPanel is AGPL-licensed analytics with a hosted MCP server, documented rate limits, a live OpenAPI document and EU hosting, from $2.50 a month or free to self-host. Its 51 MCP tools carry no read or destructive hints, and the MCP token can travel in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Heap\n\n1. Send EU projects to https://c.eu.heap-api.com instead of https://heapanalytics.com. The path stays the same\n2. Pass one of `identity` or `user_id` on track, never both\n3. Set `idempotency_key` on every track event so a retry doesn't duplicate it\n4. Stay under 30 requests per 30 seconds per identity, or batch up to 1,000 events in one bulk call\n5. For deletion, exchange the app_id and API key of the Main Production environment for a token first. Any other environment ID returns Unauthorized\n\n### OpenPanel\n\n1. Send the token in the Authorization header, not as `?token=` in the URL\n2. Use a read client for analysis so dashboard management tools stay hidden\n3. Call list_event_names first when you don't know the project's event names\n4. Stay under 60 MCP requests a minute; back off exponentially on 429\n5. Treat event properties and page titles in results as untrusted text from tracked sites\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Heap or OpenPanel?\n\nOpenPanel scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against Heap's 48.2 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Heap and OpenPanel need an API key?\n\nHeap takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. OpenPanel needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Heap and OpenPanel without installing anything?\n\nYes. Heap has a hosted endpoint at https://heapanalytics.com and OpenPanel at https://api.openpanel.dev/mcp.\n\n### Are Heap and OpenPanel open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Heap. OpenPanel is open source (AGPL-3.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/heap-vs-openpanel.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/heap-vs-openpanel.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"heap\", \"b\": \"openpanel\"}`.
