There are lots of cases I can think of where I wouldn't be all that interested in gathering Google Analytics level data and would be fine with being able to do a bit of analysis about unique users and usage patterns. (beyond doing it myself with a log aggregator and creating my own dashboards)

#12This is interesting... but I have a personal website, I won't pay ~$150/year for this service (my whole box is about $200/year). Is there any free alternative to google analytics, including self-hosted approaches?

#14Is there any analytics kind of product that just pulls information from web server access logs?

In either case, I'm building a cheaper and faster version of Fathom (http://sdan.io/pingpong). Currently I'm onboarding some customers. I'll try to see if I can incorporate web access logs as well.

I'm building one that's both cheaper (mostly free but at most $2 a month) and faster than Fathom. I'm onboarding some customers but I'm planning to launch in January! http://sdan.io/pingpong If you want to stay updated, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/BZA7thD878PbKnSs8 and I'll keep in touch soon.

Agree - not an option for everyone. Free version for personal websites or websites with visits/month would be great.

#18If I don't use Google Analytics on my website, but 70% of my visitors visit using Chrome, Google knows what's going on regardless.
