Plausible Analytics Alternatives
What users switch to when Plausible Analytics doesn't work out — and why they make the change.
Open-source, cookieless and visually similar, with no feature split between free and paid; cloud has a free tier up to 100k events. Trade-off: smaller team and fewer polished features like funnels-in-cloud parity.
View UmamiClosed-source but nearly identical privacy-first feature set, starting at 100k pageviews for $15/month, so better value for mid-traffic sites. Trade-off: no self-hosting option.
View Fathom AnalyticsFree, with ad-platform integration and attribution that Plausible lacks. Trade-off: cookie consent, complex GA4 interface and Google data collection.
View Google AnalyticsSwitch when you need product analytics, session replay, feature flags and A/B tests with a large free tier. Trade-off: far more complex and it also needs a proxy for ad blockers.
View PostHogOpen-source, self-hostable analytics closer to GA in depth (heatmaps, ecommerce, funnels via plugins). Trade-off: heavier interface and setup.
View MatomoAnother EU privacy-first, cookieless tool aimed at the same buyers. Trade-off: closed-source, no self-hosting.
View Simple AnalyticsFor event-based product analytics with funnels, retention and cohorts. Trade-off: not a drop-in website-traffic dashboard and uses identified users.
