Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Why is Simple Analytics so expensive? $20/month starting point
The self-serve plan starts at $20/month for 100k pageviews on the official pricing page, with extra users at $20/month each. G2 reviewers call it a little costly and comparison writers rate it above Plausible and Fathom at entry level. Prices at higher volumes sit behind a slider.
Pricing grows with traffic and can auto-upgrade you
On monthly plans the fee follows your pageviews (last month, then a three-month average). On yearly plans you estimate traffic up front, get an email when you exceed it and have one week to raise the limit before it is raised for you. The terms also let the vendor move you to a more expensive plan based on a three-month average.
Is Simple Analytics free? Free plan needs a badge and keeps 1 month of history
The free plan covers 5 websites and 1 user but requires a Simple Analytics badge on every page and stores only one month of history. If the badge disappears for 14 days, dashboard, API and export access is locked for that site (collection continues). The free plan has unlimited pageviews only under a fair-use policy.
Simple Analytics refund policy: no general refunds
The terms say plans bought after a free trial cannot be revoked free of charge, the payment obligation arises on acceptance even if the service is not fully used, and ending in the first term means paying the whole agreed period. The cancel docs do not mention refunds; you must contact support.
