I have pretty much the same requirements as you - ~5$/mo is the amount I'd be willing to spend for a personal blog. Another alternative I discovered recently is https://simpleanalytics.io/ https://simpleanalytics.io/ . At $9/mo it's still above my threshold, but it's a little bit cheaper than fathom. I guess I'll have to keep looking for an alternative. Well, maybe that's just the price we have to pay for the privacy, aka not being a product ourselves ;)
