Plausible is an open-source Google analytics alternative that respects the privacy of your visitors. Plausible is based on the concept that sometimes less is more. The team behind Plausible understands that most people are looking for critical insights related to their website’s impact, performance, and reach. With this in mind, Plausible has been developed as a lightweight, user-friendly, and privacy-focused analytics platform. Startups, agencies, and creators alike can use this fantastic software to track events, goal conversions, and campaigns.
Since all the data is gathered anonymously, Plausible doesn’t require cookies or any form of personally identifiable data to function. This means there are no persistent identifiers, cross-site, or cross-device tracking. In addition, your site data isn’t going to be gathered by Plausible for any third-party purposes. One of the reasons Plausible can do all this is because the organization is entirely self-funded, bootstrapped, and debt-free. All this means is that Plausible isn’t beholden to any external forces, and your data will always remain yours.
