The Verdict
Fathom is a privacy-focused analytics platform designed for creators and indie hackers who want essential metrics without data complexity. It tracks pageviews, referrers, device/browser types, and goals, presented in a clean dashboard. Unlike Plausible, Fathom uses fingerprinting (not cookies), supports unlimited domains on all plans, and includes email reports and uptime monitoring—features normally reserved for premium tiers elsewhere.\n\nFathom is ideal for solopreneurs and indie makers who want fast, reliable analytics with excellent uptime monitoring (a built-in feature). The company is known for its principled stance on privacy and transparency. At $14/month, it costs more than Plausible's entry tier but includes uptime alerts and a 7-day free trial, making it worth testing for small projects where monitoring is critical.
