Ask HN: Is there any other cheap/free analytics tool other than Googles?
I have some sites and all use Google Analytics even if I'd rather use something else. I would even be prepared to pay for it. Is there any such service out there?
- jjude 10y agoIf you are ok to host it yourself, then you can use Piwik [1]. I use Clicky[2] and I'm satisfied with it. The dashboards are better in Clicky. [1]: https://piwik.org/ https://piwik.org/ [2]: https://clicky.com/ https://clicky.com/
- tixocloud 10y agoCurious but why would you prefer to use something else?
- dangrossman 10y agoI've been running https://www.w3counter.com https://www.w3counter.com since before Google Analytics existed. It's free. Perhaps you'll like that.
- jitendrac 10y agoI like both the w3counter and improvely(i followed some past side project threads). May i know the monthly/yearly (roughly estimated) expense to maintain these projects(including all cost from hosting to customer support)?

- rgbrgb 10y agoI wish Heap was free/cheap, but I get how collecting every event could get expensive.
- rgbrgb 10y agoAmplitude has a pretty generous free tier. We send all of our events from Segment into Amplitude for analysis: https://amplitude.com/pricing https://amplitude.com/pricing
- cdvonstinkpot 10y agoI use MixPanel. Got a lifetime subscription years ago from an AppSumo offer. They've since expanded their offerings, so I guess what I have is like a 'basic' plan. No complaints- does the job easily enough- & it was relatively cheap. YMMV
