What is Plausible?

Plausible Analytics is a lightweight, open source, privacy first web analytics tool built as a simple alternative to Google Analytics. It collects no personal data and uses no cookies, so sites using it do not need a cookie consent banner under GDPR, CCPA, or PECR, and its tracking script is dramatically smaller than Google Analytics, reducing page load impact. The dashboard reports pageviews, visitors, referral sources, and goals, with additional features such as custom events, funnels, ecommerce revenue tracking, and a Google Search Console integration that pulls in queries and rankings.

Plausible is based in Tartu, Estonia, and processes all data on servers owned by European companies. Its cloud plans start at $9 a month for up to 10,000 monthly pageviews on one site, scaling through Growth and Business tiers with more sites, team members, and advanced features, plus a custom priced Enterprise tier. Every plan includes a 30 day free trial that does not require a credit card.
