Plausible Analytics is an open‑source, privacy‑first web analytics application built with Elixir and Phoenix. It provides a lightweight, cookie‑free alternative to Google Analytics that can be self‑hosted or used as a managed cloud service.
Use cases
- track website traffic without using cookies or personal data
- monitor real‑time visitors and page views on a static or dynamic site
- measure conversions, goal completions and revenue for marketing campaigns
- analyze AI assistant traffic (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to understand emerging visitor sources
- generate simple, shareable dashboards for team members or public reporting
When to choose
- You need a GDPR‑, CCPA‑, and PECR‑compliant analytics solution.
- You prefer a lightweight script that does not impact page load time.
- You want the option to self‑host the analytics stack on your own infrastructure.
- You value a clean, single‑page dashboard with no complex configuration.
- You need built‑in support for tracking events like file downloads, form submissions, and scroll depth.
When to avoid
- You require advanced heat‑map visualizations or session replay features.
- You need deep, custom funnel analysis beyond the basic conversion tracking offered.
- Your organization relies on extensive third‑party integrations that Plausible does not support.
- You prefer a solution that stores raw user‑level data for detailed offline analysis.
