Overview

Plausible Analytics reports website traffic on one dashboard using a lightweight script that sets no cookies and collects no personal data. It tracks pageviews, scroll depth, goals, funnels, UTM campaigns and traffic from AI tools, refreshing every 30 seconds. Data is processed on EU-owned servers.

Best for: Site owners who want simple, cookie-free traffic analytics instead of Google Analytics.
Pricing: No free tier beyond a 30-day trial; at up to 10k monthly pageviews, plans are £9, £14 and £19 per month, rising with traffic, with custom Enterprise pricing.
Runs on: Web
