I've been using Plausible since 09/09/2019 and I don't regret a single buck spent on it (there is also a free, self-hosted version as well). I've been tracking a few of my websites and haven't logged in back to the Google Analytics ever since 👀 Both @markosaric and @ukutaht are super-friendly and extremely helpful when it comes to support or tech chit-chat in general 🙌 A few months ago, some GitHub contributor performed some black magic thus reducing the JS file size to <1KB, which doesn't cause any heavy load while visiting tracked website. Also, there are custom domains if you need to fool those ad-blockers (which I think shouldn't be blocking Plausible, since it doesn't track users in a way the others do - you can find the article on their blog). Anyway, good stuff ⚡

Congrats on the launch! The website is clear, transparent and no BS. As people care more and more about privacy, hopefully we'll have pretty soon privacy-focused worthy alternative to almost all services :).

@nguyenkims thank you Nguyen! that would be so good! we've now removed some 60 million pageviews from Google Analytics last month and if we get other tools to remove 60 million emails from Gmail, or 60 millions Google searches and so on and on, the web increasingly looks a bit more independent and a bit more healthy.

I recently switched to it from another paid but abandoned analytics product and I'm super happy with it. The website is *super* fast and while there are some smaller improvements that could be made (Most of them already posted on the open issue tracker on Github, which is a very cool way of dealing with that). It's also cheaper than my previous solution if you sign up for a year, seems like a no-brainer to me as you usually don't switch between analytics products.

@tehwey that's great to hear, thanks Philipp! we'll try and deal with the other smaller improvements too! For those new to Plausible, the link to our Github public roadmap and feature requests page is this: https://github.com/plausible/ana...

I find it just a bit too pricey for personal, non-profit projects (it's where I usually try to spend as little as possible) but I've recently decided to use it anyways, because it's the best analytics SaaS I've found so far as an alternative to the surveillance capitalism Google Analytics is, as well as to other free, self-hosting solutions which I don't want to bother with installing, configuring, etc. Really simple, sleek UI and nice UX. Love it!

@vitalypushkar Thank you Vitaly! We're aware we're up against "free" as in GA while many site owners are new to the idea of paid analytics. We want to help as many site owners as possible remove GA so we're doing what we can to keep prices as affordable as we can while at the same time trying to run a sustainable startup. One of the reasons we do marketing the way we are (organic only, no paid ads, no affiliates) is that it saves us money that helps us keep prices low. We don't need to pay 25%+ lifetime revenue share to affiliates for instance and we give that to our users instead. We'll see what more can be done in the future as we scale and as we hopefully get even bigger users.

Review Plausible Analytics?

Reviewers mostly see Plausible Analytics as a clean, fast, privacy-first replacement for Google Analytics that is easy to set up and good enough for personal sites, small products, and client work. People repeatedly praise its simple dashboard, bot filtering, cookie-banner removal, and smooth use with static sites, Next.js, and custom subdomains. A few makers also say, from building products like Harbor, that goals and custom properties are useful for tracking real signups. The main criticism is that reporting can feel basic, docs may be outdated, and support can be weak.
