## What it is
Vince is a self-hosted, privacy-friendly web analytics server written in Go, serving as an alternative to Google Analytics and a drop-in replacement for Plausible Analytics for single-entity self-hosting. It ships as a single zero-dependency binary with a custom columnar storage engine based on compressed roaring bitmaps for fast queries and efficient storage.

## Use cases
- self-host google analytics alternative
- replace plausible analytics with a single binary
- track website visitors without cookies
- gdpr compliant web analytics
- track custom events and outbound links on my site
- host private dashboards for website traffic
- deploy lightweight web analytics on a small server

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics server you fully control
- you already use Plausible scripts and want a leaner single-entity self-hosted replacement
- you need easy operations: one binary, automatic TLS, unlimited sites and events
- you want cost-effective analytics with efficient resource usage

## When to avoid
- you need multi-tenancy, funnels, or other enterprise Plausible features
- you want a hosted/SaaS analytics offering
- you require full feature parity with Plausible Analytics
