A lightweight, open-source web analytics tool that respects visitor privacy and runs without cookies.

About Plausible Analytics

Plausible Analytics is a simple, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. It tracks website traffic with a tiny script that loads fast, around 45KB gzipped, and requires no cookie banners or GDPR consent. The dashboard shows pageviews, referrers, countries, and device types in a clean, uncluttered interface.

Built with Elixir and Phoenix, Plausible uses ClickHouse for its database backend, making it fast even with high-traffic sites. It integrates easily with many platforms including WordPress, Ghost, Wix, and Squarespace, and supports a JavaScript API for custom events. The project is open source under AGPL-3.0, with a hosted SaaS option available from the team behind it.

Developers and small site owners appreciate Plausible for its simplicity and low overhead. It is an excellent choice for anyone who needs basic analytics without compromising visitor privacy. The hosted version starts at EUR 9 per month, or you can self-host on a small server for free.
