Google Analytics 4 Has Me So Frustrated, We Built Our Own Analytics Service

• Plausible Analytics

  304 18,286 9.8 Elixir

  Simple, open source, lightweight (< 1 KB) and privacy-friendly web analytics alternative to Google Analytics.

  

I've been pretty happy with plausible analytics. They have a hosted solution as well.

• Matomo

  148 19,039 9.8 PHP

  Empowering People Ethically with the leading open source alternative to Google Analytics that gives you full control over your data. Matomo lets you easily collect data from websites & apps and visualise this data and extract insights. Privacy is built-in. Liberating Web Analytics. Star us on Github? +1. And we love Pull Requests!

  

Not sure how it compares, I set up self hosted matomo (originally named piwik) and it's been running without issue since 2013 or so. https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo. Only useful if what you're running is on php. Probably would've picked a stack today.

• Umami

  112 19,579 9.8 TypeScript

  Umami is a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics.

  

Yep, I just setup Umami (https://umami.is/) yesterday and added it to some properties alongside GA to see how it goes. It's a very simple interface with everything I really need for web analytics so I'm enjoying it so far. I self-hosted so if it sticks around the only thing I might look at is having a replica running for it (already put a high frequency backup in place).

• Rudderstack

  83 3,926 9.8 Go

  Privacy and Security focused Segment-alternative, in Golang and React

  

In bigger setups, all you want is a data collector and router so that you can feed the data into multiple destinations, depending on the use case. Analytics is just one. Example: https://www.rudderstack.com/ & https://www.rudderstack.com/replace-google-analytics-4-guide...
