Product analytics platform for tracking user behavior and generating data-driven insights
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Simple, privacy‑first web analytics without cookies or data collection.
Plausible provides a lightweight, cookie‑free analytics tool that meets GDPR, CCPA, and PECR, with a dashboard, email/Slack reports, and cloud or self‑hosted options.

Plausible delivers a privacy‑focused web analytics solution that replaces heavyweight, data‑harvesting alternatives. Its script is under 1 KB, ensuring fast page loads, and it never sets cookies or stores personal identifiers, keeping you compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR.
Designed for website owners, developers, and small‑to‑medium businesses that value simplicity and data sovereignty. You can choose a fully managed cloud service—complete with high‑availability infrastructure, advanced bot filtering, and premium features—or self‑host the Community Edition on any server, giving you raw data access via ClickHouse. The single‑page dashboard presents key metrics at a glance, while automated email or Slack reports keep teams informed without manual checks.
The cloud offering spins up in minutes, handling backups, security, and EU‑only data processing. The self‑hosted edition requires you to provision a server, install the stack, and manage updates, but it offers full control over data location and export capabilities.
When teams consider Plausible Analytics, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
