I’m really curious about this too, as I have very similar requirements, and also host on Netlify (where ‘server logs’ don’t exist). The possibilities I’ve come up with so far are:
- Hosting Fathom using Docker someplace affordably. I’ve tried this with Joyent, where I’ve been running a custom Docker container for ~1.5 months with no problems. It should be about $2.50/month, but they offered $250 in free credits for signing up (not sure if this expires at some point), so it hasn’t cost me anything yet.
- Using a very limited custom script with Keen.io to log only the timestamp, site visited, and referrer. It seems that Keen.io has a pretty good privacy policy, and my site’s traffic and my views of my dashboard seem to only cost about $0.01 to $0.02 per month so far, and I haven’t actually been charged that.
Happy to share more detail on the above, and curious to hear if anyone has other ideas.
