Plausible — Free Trial for Startups

Deal Highlights

Plausible — Lightweight Analytics That Respect Privacy

Plausible is a privacy-friendly web analytics tool that gives you all the essential website metrics without cookies, tracking scripts, or personal data collection. The entire script is under 1KB — 45x smaller than Google Analytics — making your site faster while staying GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant by default.

The Google Analytics Problem

Google Analytics 4 is complex, slow, and collects personal data that requires cookie consent banners. Many visitors reject cookies, leaving you with incomplete data. Plausible avoids this entirely — no cookies, no personal data, no consent banners needed. You see 100% of your traffic, not just the visitors who accepted cookies.

What You Get

A single-page dashboard shows visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, visit duration, top pages, referral sources, countries, devices, and UTM campaign tracking. That is it — no 47-tab interface, no certification course needed. Most founders get more value from Plausible's simple dashboard than from the hundreds of GA4 reports they never open.

Custom Events and Goals

Track button clicks, form submissions, file downloads, and outbound link clicks with simple custom events. Set up conversion goals and track funnel performance. Revenue attribution shows which channels drive actual sales.

Plausible vs Google Analytics

GA4 is free but complex, slow, and privacy-invasive. Plausible is paid ($9/month) but simple, fast, and privacy-first. If you need deep behavioral analysis, use GA4. If you need essential metrics without the complexity and legal risk, Plausible is the better choice.

Plausible vs Fathom

Both are privacy-focused analytics. Plausible is open-source and slightly cheaper. Fathom has better uptime monitoring and email reports. Both are excellent alternatives to Google Analytics. Plausible has a more active open-source community.
