Plausible is a GDPR-compliant analytics platform built to replace Google Analytics without cookies or user tracking. 1-2 minute setup, lightweight script, no data brokering. Used by privacy-conscious startups, regulatory-compliant teams, and EU-based companies. Key metrics: pageviews, sessions, bounce rate, goal tracking. No PII collected. Takes 1 week to master. Sits between Google Analytics (invasive) and Fathom (similar niche) as the affordable privacy alternative.

What is Plausible Privacy Analytics

Plausible is a web analytics platform built around privacy. Unlike Google Analytics (which tracks users, bakes cookies, sells data to advertisers), Plausible collects only aggregate data, no personal information, no user IDs, no cross-site tracking. It's GDPR-compliant by design and built for teams that prioritize user privacy. Setup is trivial: add a 1-line JavaScript snippet to your site. Plausible immediately starts collecting pageviews, sessions, bounce rate, and other standard metrics. You can define custom goals (signups, purchases, downloads) with minimal code.

❓ FAQ

Is Plausible accurate compared to Google Analytics?

Yes. Plausible is accurate for standard metrics (pageviews, sessions, bounce rate). GA4 has more data points (cross-device tracking, UTM parameters), but Plausible captures the essentials. Trade-off: privacy for depth.

Yes, specifically designed for EU compliance. GDPR-compliant, no cookies, no user tracking, no data sales. EU data is processed within EU borders.

Can I track custom events with Plausible?

Yes. Custom events (e.g., 'user signed up', 'button clicked') require minimal code: `plausible('event_name')`. Works great for conversion tracking.

How much does Plausible cost?

Starts at €9/month for up to 10k pageviews/month. Scales with traffic. Transparent, straightforward pricing.

Can I export data from Plausible?

Yes. Plausible offers CSV exports and API access. No vendor lock-in.
