Plausible Analytics

Hello PH! 👋 Plausible Analytics launched about a year and a half ago and we're finally on Product Hunt! $3,919 MRR, more than 600 paying subscribers, removed Google Analytics from more than 3,600 websites and counted 59,351,293 pageviews in the last month. Take a look at our open stats / live demo. Here's what makes us different from Google Analytics: 🚀 Quick and simple to use with all the metrics displayed on one page 📊 Actionable and useful features such as referral and page drilldowns, and metrics such as visit duration by referral source 🤘 Lightweight script of less than 1 KB so sites load fast (45 times smaller script than the Google Analytics script) 👥 We don't use cookies and don't track personal data so you don't need to bother your visitors with the cookie/GDPR banners 🇪🇺 All the data is secured, encrypted and hosted on a server in the EU to ensure it's covered by the strict data privacy laws 👐 Open source and self-hostable with the code available on GitHub We build everything in the open with a public roadmap so would love to hear your feedback and feature requests. Thank you!

Just love this product & what you’re building! Side note: VERY cool transparency towards marketing in your About section 👍🏼 Huge upvote & well wishes from me!

I’m using Plausible for several months now and I couldn’t be happier! They keep adding new great features, while the script itself gets lighter. I’m happy to may a small fee every month instead of giving all my data to Google. Supporting indie devs is also always nice 😀

I've been using Plausible since 09/09/2019 and I don't regret a single buck spent on it (there is also a free, self-hosted version as well). I've been tracking a few of my websites and haven't logged in back to the Google Analytics ever since 👀 Both @markosaric and @ukutaht are super-friendly and extremely helpful when it comes to support or tech chit-chat in general 🙌 A few months ago, some GitHub contributor performed some black magic thus reducing the JS file size to <1KB, which doesn't cause any heavy load while visiting tracked website. Also, there are custom domains if you need to fool those ad-blockers (which I think shouldn't be blocking Plausible, since it doesn't track users in a way the others do - you can find the article on their blog). Anyway, good stuff ⚡

I find it just a bit too pricey for personal, non-profit projects (it's where I usually try to spend as little as possible) but I've recently decided to use it anyways, because it's the best analytics SaaS I've found so far as an alternative to the surveillance capitalism Google Analytics is, as well as to other free, self-hosting solutions which I don't want to bother with installing, configuring, etc. Really simple, sleek UI and nice UX. Love it!

Congrats on the launch! The website is clear, transparent and no BS. As people care more and more about privacy, hopefully we'll have pretty soon privacy-focused worthy alternative to almost all services :).

Congrats!!! GDPR (EU) compatibility has been a huge cacophony in the market... Especially at the US/EU divide. Is the source code licenced under CC (creative commons)? How do you protect against competitors snatching source to proprietary?
