Google Analytics is the last 3rd party thing we use on our site after recently ditching Google Fonts.

One thing missing from GA competitors in my opinion is some explanation of what to expect when switching. I would like to switch but am not just going to swap analytics and have stats go up or down in a wild manner because things are calculated differently.

I use plausible.io for a website where analytics actually matter and it's enough. They implemented changes based on tickets I created, and their support has been nothing short of excellent.

It's not Google Analytics. It's missing a ton of features, but if you want to track visitors and events, it's plenty. It's faster and easier to use for this.

One that is missing from this list is Pirsch: https://pirsch.io/ There are just so many options out there. I gathered a similar list with a lot of overlap, but also includes info on self-hosting/source-available options: https://til.marcuse.info/webmaster/alt-analytics.html

This looks good and one of the few where you can know your unique and return visitor.

Such a great list on all the points I am looking for. As I generally look at price / 1M event as well so it was perfect. License as well. My only other interesting is knowing return visitors. Which many of the new "privacy" analytics doesn't support . But thank You.

Edit: And plausible pay plan is no longer $36 /month but $50. Although they significantly lower the higher tier pricing.
