@uzymayne, I support any privacy-by-design MarTech solution! Good luck.
Curious about what the USP is compared to existing solutions like Plausible & Umami. Care to share?
@knolladrian , Thank you! Honest answer: Plausible and Umami are both great, and on the basics (cookie-free, lightweight) we're close.
Where Pulse differs:
1. More than traffic: uptime monitoring and daily performance checks sit right next to your analytics, plus Search Console and Bing data. With Plausible or Umami you'd add separate tools for those.
2. Data hosted in Switzerland, by a Belgian company. Umami Cloud is run by a US company.
3. A free plan with every feature (one site, 5,000 pageviews/month, no card). Plausible starts at $9/month.
Where they win: both can be self-hosted, and Pulse can't today. Plausible also has the longer track record. Happy to go deeper on any of it!
