Reviewer scorecard
“Sub-1KB script, no cookies, GDPR-compliant. The ethical analytics choice that actually has a great UI.”
“Write analytics once, send to every tool. The destination catalog and identity resolution are genuinely valuable.”
“For most websites, Plausible provides all the analytics you need without the privacy guilt of Google Analytics.”
“Absurdly expensive at scale. RudderStack is the open-source alternative that does the same job.”
“Privacy regulations are only getting stricter. Cookie-free analytics will be the default, not the alternative.”
“Customer data infrastructure is essential but commoditizing. Segment's Twilio integration creates a unique data + communication platform.”
