The Verdict
Plausible is a lightweight, GDPR-compliant alternative to Google Analytics that respects user privacy by design. It requires no cookie banner, doesn't use cookies or JavaScript fingerprinting, and automatically anonymizes all visitor data. The platform offers essential metrics—pageviews, bounce rate, time on site, traffic sources, and goal conversions—in a clean, intuitive dashboard without the complexity of enterprise analytics platforms.\n\nFor indie hackers, Plausible solves the problem of over-engineered analytics. You get accurate data for decision-making without the bloat of enterprise tools or the privacy compromises of Google Analytics. Setup takes minutes (just copy-paste a script tag), and the transparent, traffic-based pricing scales predictably with your growth—from $9/month for 10K pageviews to $169 for 10M.
