What users switch to when Fathom Analytics doesn't work out — and why they make the change.

1
Plausible Analytics
Mentioned 9x by users
72/100

Nearly the same privacy-first dashboard, open source with a free self-hosted edition, and cheaper below about 30k pageviews ($9 for 10k). Adds funnels on its Business plan. Trade-off: costs more than Fathom at mid traffic and limits sites per plan.

Umami
Mentioned 7x by users
73/100

Open-source, cookieless and free to self-host, with a free cloud tier. Trade-off: smaller team and a less polished hosted product.

Simple Analytics
Mentioned 6x by users

EU-based, cookieless and similar in scope, with a free tier; some users switched from Fathom and prefer it. Trade-off: similarly limited for product analytics.

4
PostHog
Mentioned 6x by users
71/100

Generous free tier plus funnels, session replay, feature flags and experiments for teams that outgrow pageview stats. Trade-off: much more complex, and cookieless mode is not the default.

Google Analytics
Mentioned 6x by users

Free with deep reporting, attribution and Google Ads integration. Trade-off: needs cookie consent in the EU, complex GA4 interface and data sampling.

Matomo
Mentioned 5x by users

Open source and self-hostable with heatmaps, funnels and full data ownership. Trade-off: heavier to run and configure, and cloud plans cost more.
