Another open source alternative similar to Plausible is https://umami.is/
I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.

Project mention: It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-09+1 on shynet! I use it for my personal website and my blog, and it's been working great.
I got it up and running with Podman, so no need to install and run the Docker daemon. I also fixed SQLite support [1], so no need for an additional DB server.
I analyzed available open-source web analytics tools [2] and AFAIK there is simpler solution for web analytics that doesn't involve a third party.

Project mention: Recommendations for self-hosted Google Analytics alternatives? | /r/selfhosted | 2023-06-04Offen: https://www.offen.dev/ For a simple reason: They are opt-in exclusively, and are the only analytics tool that offers users the possibility to review their collected data in the "Auditorium", and also allows them to delete everything.

Project mention: Running a funny experiment with my free web-analytics | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-31Two years back, I created a little web analytics tool for my side projects and I called Faenz. It's open source and self-hostable, available on GitHub at https://github.com/a-chris/faenz.
I've recently given it an update and came up with the idea of creating a demo version that's accessible to everyone.
How does it work?
You can add your own website, blog or e-commerce site and keep track of the visits it receives. Your website stats will be visible to others, and you'll get to check out everyone else's stats too. You won't be allowed to edit/delete a website, you should reach out to me for that.
I find it to be a fun experiment to see how people handle SEO or just to discover some cool new websites :)
The demo is available here https://faenz.acmecorp.dev/
