- No cookies and no personal data collection
- Tiny script, negligible performance impact
- Clean single-page dashboard
- Open source and self-hostable
Good for
Plausible is the go-to when you want honest, privacy-respecting numbers and a dashboard you actually read, without the GDPR baggage of Google Analytics. It deliberately avoids deep product analytics — if you need funnels, retention, and session replay, PostHog is the better fit. For a marketing site or blog, Plausible is the calmer, cleaner choice.
