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!

@thomas It's already cheap, this is an unreasonable request

Congrats on launching @markosaric and @ukutaht! Looks really neat! High on my list when I get to dropping GA

@ukutaht @spekulatius1984 thank you Peter!

@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?
Rufus
Just love this product & what you’re building! Side note: VERY cool transparency towards marketing in your About section 👍🏼 Huge upvote & well wishes from me!

@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.
Rufus
@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.

@rufusdenne makes sense!

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 :)
