Hello PH! 👋 Plausible Analytics launched about a year and a half ago and we're finally on Product Hunt! $3,919 MRR, more than 600 paying subscribers, removed Google Analytics from more than 3,600 websites and counted 59,351,293 pageviews in the last month. Take a look at our open stats / live demo. Here's what makes us different from Google Analytics: 🚀 Quick and simple to use with all the metrics displayed on one page 📊 Actionable and useful features such as referral and page drilldowns, and metrics such as visit duration by referral source 🤘 Lightweight script of less than 1 KB so sites load fast (45 times smaller script than the Google Analytics script) 👥 We don't use cookies and don't track personal data so you don't need to bother your visitors with the cookie/GDPR banners 🇪🇺 All the data is secured, encrypted and hosted on a server in the EU to ensure it's covered by the strict data privacy laws 👐 Open source and self-hostable with the code available on GitHub We build everything in the open with a public roadmap so would love to hear your feedback and feature requests. Thank you!

@thomas thanks Thomas! we don't have any coupons unfortunately. as explained below, we want to help as many site owners as possible remove GA so we're doing what we can to keep prices as affordable as we can by default (starting at $4/month on yearly plans) while at the same time trying to run a sustainable startup. we also have a free as in beer self-hosted version (exact same product as our Cloud version). we may be able to reduce prices even further in the future as we scale and hopefully get some bigger users but not at this time unfortunately. sorry!

@markosaric looks cool. One question: GA has issues properly tracking sessions on client-rendered react SPAs (it only sees the page entry, no further page changes). How does Plausible handle this?

@rufusdenne Thank you Rufus, appreciate the kind words! We're trying to show that you can grow a startup without following all the "best marketing practices". We don't do: Paid advertising Pixels from Facebook and Google Retargeting Session recordings A/B testing Affiliate marketing Podcasts/videos Fancy email sequences Popups Chat bots https://plausible.io/about

@rufusdenne @markosaric this is a huge inspiration(ethical tech) in times of today.

@markosaric yeah - I love it. “Best marketing practices” is pretty oxymoronic anyway... doing what everyone else is doing, only makes your marketing predictable, boring and (ultimately) forgettable.

@rufusdenne @wilsonbright thank you Wilson! people that run startups can start this ethical tech movement. Google/Facebook and other big tech are too deep in surveillance capitalism to make any unforced changes for the better.

I’m using Plausible for several months now and I couldn’t be happier! They keep adding new great features, while the script itself gets lighter. I’m happy to may a small fee every month instead of giving all my data to Google. Supporting indie devs is also always nice 😀

@haltakov thank you for the kind words Vladimir and for the support! not sure we can continue adding new features while reducing the script size for much longer but we'll aim to always keep it under 1 KB :)

Basic feature are in place. But documentation is lacking and in some areas the information (like for the goals) is outdated. Support provides... wel no support. We also have an issue were we got a lot of 404 pages, contacted support about this and provided with 11-12 date/times/screenshots but they simply said: we dont know. A shame, it seems like a good product but support and the feature doesnt explain the price. Its basically just an open source script with a fancy site

Thanks for the feedback Dominick and sorry that you didn't have a nice experience with Plausible! As discussed when you contacted our support, our developers tried to locate the issue you reported about your browser frequently deleting our cookie so you had to log in to your account again but we were not able to discover anything. We're keeping an eye on it and there has been no other reports of this which makes it difficult for us to troubleshoot. Sorry again! Other than that, we do have very fast and responsive customer support and we keep our docs as detailed and up to date as possible so if you do have an example of what goal info is outdated, please do share and we will fix immediately. Thanks!

Having no basic familiarity with it as a mark on the page is perhaps a measure of one’s limited reading. (That said, famed grammarian and lexicographer Bryan Garner has called it “perhaps the most underused punctuation mark in American writing,” so that could be a factor.) Yet suspicion of the em dash also speaks to our mounting paranoia over automated communication. (See: the earlier case of the redditor convinced that their co-worker was using AI to write emails.) We are acutely aware that some amount of the media that saturates our waking lives has been spun out of AI models, and we are on the alert for any peculiarity — like, say, extra fingers on an machine-made image of a person — that suggests what we’re seeing is a kind of algorithmic output instead of material that is consciously and intentionally designed by a human being.
