Reviewer scorecard
“Sub-1KB script, no cookies, GDPR-compliant. The ethical analytics choice that actually has a great UI.”
“Self-hostable, open source, and genuinely all-in-one. Replaces Amplitude + LaunchDarkly + Hotjar at a fraction of the cost.”
“For most websites, Plausible provides all the analytics you need without the privacy guilt of Google Analytics.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous. Open source means you can audit exactly what data goes where.”
“Privacy regulations are only getting stricter. Cookie-free analytics will be the default, not the alternative.”
“PostHog is the open-source Amplitude. The all-in-one approach reduces tool sprawl and keeps data unified.”
