Plausible Analytics

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknown

Lightweight web analytics without cookies or personal data

Plausible answers the handful of questions most sites actually ask - what pages get read, where readers came from, what converted - and deliberately declines to answer the rest. There are no cookies, no cross-site identifiers, and no consent banner needed.

The script is under a kilobyte, and the whole dashboard is a single page. For teams drowning in a reporting suite nobody opens, the reduction is the feature.

Decisive facts

Sub-kilobyte script with no cookies and no personal data collected
Goals, funnels, and revenue attribution on a single dashboard
Shareable public dashboards for clients or the open web
Email and Slack reports on a schedule
Self-hostable as a community edition

OpenPanel merges the two dashboards most teams keep open side by side: page-level web analytics and event-level product analytics. Funnels, retention curves, and session replay sit next to traffic sources rather than in a separate product.

Grafana is the visualisation layer that sits above other systems rather than a monitoring stack of its own. It queries Prometheus, Loki, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and dozens of other sources, and puts them on the same dashboard.
