Getting Started

Connect your Steam account, pair a Rust+ server, and pick the version of Rustalytics that fits how you play.

What is Rustalytics?

Rustalytics is a Rust+ companion that runs your team's chat commands, tracks players, vending machines, smart switches, and pushes alerts when cargo, heli, or oil rigs activate. It comes in two flavors:

  • Basic — the free desktop app you run on your own PC.
  • Pro — the hosted web app at rustalytics.com/app with a Discord bot, alarm relays, team sharing and a 24-hour free trial.

Pick a plan

Basic — Desktop App

Free. One-time download. Bot runs while your computer is on. Best to try Rustalytics before paying.

Pair your server with Rust+

Rustalytics talks to your server through Facepunch's official Rust+ companion API. To pair:

  1. Open Rust and join the server you want to monitor.
  2. Press Esc and click the Rust+ icon in the menu.
  3. Click Pair with Server.
  4. Open Rustalytics — the server card will appear automatically.

You can pair smart switches, smart alarms, and storage monitors the same way (place the device, hold E on it, choose Pair). They show up in the desktop app's Switches panel and in the Pro dashboard.

Sign in with Steam
