Plausible Analytics is an open-source project dedicated to making web analytics more privacy-friendly. Our mission is to reduce corporate surveillance by providing an alternative web analytics tool which doesn’t come from the AdTech world. The full-time team is based in the EU and consists of Uku Taht and Marko Saric.

Plausible Analytics is a simple, lightweight (<1 KB), open-source and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. We don't use any cookies and we don't track any personal data. With Plausible Analytics, you fully own and control your website data. It is not being shared with or sold to any third-parties. Since we don't make money from targeted advertisement, we must ask for a fee to keep the servers running and keep the development going. You can read more about Plausible Analytics here.

We offer a free as in beer self-hosted version of Plausible Analytics too with a great deal of help from our community on GitHub. We've been asked for donation options for those who use self-hosted version and want to support the continuous development so we're opening up the opportunity to sponsor the project. All funds donated via GitHub will go to the development of Plausible Analytics.

Self-hosting Plausible Analytics means that you are responsible for managing your infrastructure (installation, maintenance, upgrades, server capacity, uptime, backup and so on). This is different from Plausible Analytics Cloud where we manage everything for your ease and convenience.

Plausible Self-Hosted is a community supported project and there are no guarantees that you will get support from the creators of Plausible to troubleshoot your self-hosting issues. There is a community supported forum where you can ask for help. And if you become a sponsor, you can reach out to us and get equal support to all the other paying customers. Thank you!
