OpenPanel

Compare Plausible alternatives
Plausible is itself an open-source, privacy-first web analytics tool that doesn't use cookies or collect personal data, with paid plans starting around $9/month for hosted use — self-hosting the open-source edition is free. Teams that want to run it themselves without any subscription, or that want a different feature balance, compare it to other privacy-focused analytics tools.
If you want a broader analytics suite with funnels, heatmaps, and e-commerce tracking rather than Plausible's minimalist dashboard, Matomo covers that ground while remaining GDPR-compliant. If you want something even lighter than Plausible, Umami is a comparably minimal, cookieless tool with a similarly small tracking script.
