Vemetric is an open-source web and product analytics platform built by solo founder Dominik. It combines website traffic analytics with product analytics such as custom events, user journeys, and funnels in one dashboard, hosted in the EU with no cookies by default.[1][2][3]
Quick verdict
Vemetric suits small SaaS teams that want web and product analytics in one simple, privacy-first dashboard. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed with a free hosted tier, but self-hosting is only planned, so teams that must self-host today should look elsewhere.[1][2][3]
What Vemetric does
Vemetric provides real-time web analytics covering visited pages, referrers, countries, browsers, and devices in a single dashboard.[1][2]
Product analytics include custom event tracking, user identification, user journeys that follow how people move through a product, and funnels for conversion analysis.[1][2]
Tracking works across multiple subdomains from one setup, and the docs provide SDKs for HTML, JavaScript, React, Astro, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Go plus a public HTTP API.[1][2]
Privacy is structural: no cookies by default, GDPR compliance stated, and hosting in the EU.[1][2]
Who it fits
Small SaaS teams that want both marketing-site traffic and in-product behavior in one tool, without running a second analytics product, are the natural audience.[1][2]
Teams that prefer EU-hosted, cookieless measurement over a heavier analytics suite fit the stated positioning.[1]
Switching from Mixpanel Astrolescent founder Timan Rebel reports Vemetric is a great alternative to Mixpanel for his team, describing it as modern, privacy-focused, and affordable; Mixpanel is the catalogue relationship held in review for this draft.[1]
Replacing a heavy suite Phare founder Nicolas reports replacing a heavy analytics suite with Vemetric's lightweight European-hosted stack was one of his best decisions, praising a dashboard that already shows what he needs.[1]
Limitations to weigh
There is no self-hosted option today. The README states a self-hostable Community Edition covering web analytics and user journeys is planned for the future.[1]
The product is young: the canonical repository was created in June 2025 and pricing is described as early pricing that will rise as Vemetric matures.[1][2]
No SSO documentation, no enterprise support tier, and no offline-use statement were found during this research pass; only founder-led direct support is described.[1][2]
Pricing is event-based, starting with 2,500 free events per month and a Professional plan from $5 per month, so costs scale with tracked traffic.[1]
Self-hosting required Teams that must self-host analytics on their own infrastructure today cannot adopt Vemetric yet, since self-hosting is only planned.[1]
Enterprise proof points Teams needing documented SSO, an enterprise support tier, or a long-established vendor record will not find those evidenced here.[1][2]
