  • Fathom Analytics

    Fathom Lite. Simple, privacy-focused website analytics. Built with Golang & Preact.

  • I have found quite a few interesting solutions like Fathom or Netlify Analytics but that charges like 10 bucks a month.

  • archive_privera

    Discontinued Use the tools you know. Respect users' privacy. Forget cookie consents. Comply with GDPR, ePrivacy, COPPA, CalOPPA, PECR, PIPEDA, CASL; you name it.

  • https://privera.io/ which is actually 100% free under 10k events. It works as an anonymizing proxy between you and GA, which is not perfect as it's still Google, but it seems like a fair tradeoff. It seems like a very little project though, do anyone of you have heard about it ?

  • InfluxDB

  • Plausible Analytics

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

  • https://plausible.io/ which seems to be well-established, and charges only 4$/mo for less than 10k pageview per month, with annual billing.

  • Matomo

    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!

  • https://matomo.org/ that can be self-hosted, but it needs a MySql database, and those things usually ain't cheap

  • Umami

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

  • Check out Umami. You can host it on Vercel, you just need a database. I suggest Supabase as it’s currently free, and it’s easy to setup. They shared a tutorial on how to do it on Twitter.

  • Open Web Analytics

    Official repository for Open Web Analytics which is an open source alternative to commercial tools such as Google Analytics. Stay in control of the data you collect about the use of your website or app. Please consider sponsoring this project.

  • I previously considered Open Web Analytics, but the PHP script that analyzes the $_SERVER supervariable during a page request results in a big performance hit, and as a matter of policy I don't allow spyware of any sort.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
