Fathom Analytics VS Ackee

Fathom Analytics (paid)

A few apps that are a joy to use:

https://ia.net/writer for writing.

https://usecontrast.com/ for checking contrast.

https://sipapp.io/ for picking colors.

https://nova.app/ for editing code.

https://cleanshot.com/ for screenshots.

https://getpixelsnap.com/ for measuring elements on screen.

https://netnewswire.com/ for reading things via RSS.

https://panic.com/transmit/ for file transfers.

https://usefathom.com/ for web analytics.

https://balsamiq.com/ for wireframes.

What else?

There are many good, lightweight, and open-source alternatives to Google Analytics, such as Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, Simple Analytics, and so on. Many of these options are open-source, and can be self-hosted.

Yes, you should absolutely not be using Google Analytics. They don't need more data, your users don't want to see cookie banners and most of you really don't need 99% of the data that you can filter through...

I can't recommend Fathom (https://usefathom.com) enough. They have a huge focus on privacy-first tracking. You don't need to show a cookie banner and you can still track events etc.

If you want $10 credit for signing up, use https://usefathom.com/james but otherwise, https://usefathom.com

Seriously, Google Analytics sucks. Use anything other than that.

Example: https://usefathom.com/ and june.so

We've got inspired by https://usefathom.com/ and https://plausible.io/ - plus there is some negative sentiment with *some* smaller players about DocuSign

I am in no way affiliated with fathom analytics (https://usefathom.com/) but I use it on some of my sites in order to understand (aggregate) user behaviour to improve the experience.

Take a look as ackee as well :)

Proxying the requests to Ackee through Netlify comes with some advantages:

I've used Ackee (https://ackee.electerious.com/) for some time now and I love it!

Ackee - Free Alternative - Probably the most similar solution to Umami and it would have been my second choice. It seems to be pretty popular and well worth checking out.

Ackee is another open source analytics platform you can deploy on Railway. I first tried Ackee but I prefer Umami because of its Realtime Dashboard that allows me to see active sessions and what webpages are being visited at this very moment.

Ackee has a great looking dashboard (Ackee dashoard demo) and the maintainer of this project also plans to support its development (correct me if I am wrong). If you want to support him, donate here. Thus making it pay what you want to model (except for the hosting :p)
