Lightweight, privacy-focused analytics with a single readable dashboard.
Who it is for
For someone who wants visitor numbers without cookie banners or a data-sharing relationship.
The catch
No permanent free tier: a 30-day trial with no card required, then $9 a month for up to 10,000 pageviews.
Where it sits in the stack
Plausible is filed under “Knowing whether any of it worked” in the stack directory. Its label there is the same one at the top of this page: listed, not tested. I have read its pricing and mechanics and have not run a project on it, so this page describes it and stops short of recommending it. That distinction is the whole point of the directory.
What has changed about its pricing
Nothing, as far as this site has recorded. Plausible has no entry in the price change log, which means either its pricing has held since this site started checking or nobody here has re-read it since the figure above was taken. The log distinguishes those two cases deliberately, and a tool with no entry is the weaker of them.
The alternatives in the same slot
These do the same job and sit in the same section of the directory.
- Google Search Console — i run this, has a free tier
- Bing Webmaster Tools — listed, not tested, has a free tier
- Umami — listed, not tested, has a free tier
The whole stack, filterable, with the catch stated on every entry.
