Plausible Analytics
Analytics & BI · plausible.io
Overview
Plausible is the privacy-first answer to Google Analytics: a tiny script, no cookies, and no consent banner needed in most jurisdictions. The dashboard fits on one page and surfaces the numbers that actually matter without burying them in configuration. Indie makers, privacy-conscious teams, and developers who self-host gravitate to it, partly because it is open source and you can run it yourself. The trade-off is depth - it deliberately skips the funnel sprawl and event complexity of GA4. There is no free hosted tier, so the managed version is paid, with self-hosting as the free-but-DIY route.
