- woutr_be 6y agoI’ve been using GoatCounter for a couple of months now, it’s great! Super simple interface with all the data you need.
- ASlave2Gravity 6y agoAye, same here. It's really good!
- asddubs 6y agoposthog is really unfortunately named

- RobKohr 6y agoSo many choices... Anyone have any favorites?
- diafygi 6y agoOf these, do any have a funnel tracking feature that shows what visitors went through a specific series of pages/events? Seeing how users moved about the site and seeing how many converted is a deal breaker for me.
- lilfermat 6y agoNot out of the box but snowplow does if you model the data on your own.
- KaoruAoiShiho 6y agoPretty sure posthog does.
- timgl 6y ago(PostHog founder) Yes we do! PostHog gives you full funnel capabilities + ability to see exactly what users dropped out where
- james_impliu 6y agoConfirmed! (I'm one of the founders)
- volument 6y agohttps://volument.com https://volument.com might be a good pick since it focuses strictly on conversion optimization. It attempts to measure the more general conversion flow, known as the AIDA funnel (awareness, interest, desire, and action).
- basilgohar 6y agoMatomo has this feature I believe (if I understand correctly from your description).
- hanspagel 6y agodon’t forget https://simpleanalytics.com/ https://simpleanalytics.com/
- robinhood 6y agoIt’s not open source.
- gentleman11 6y agoTrue, but it at least respects the privacy of your visitors by doing very minimal tracking. Basically, all you get is country, some device stats, and a time stamp. Last time I used it, it didn’t even track return visits and used no cookies iirc. It felt nice
- Deukhoofd 6y agoAny privacy oriented analytics tools not purely focused on website analytics?
- ponteiro 6y agohttps://getinsights.io https://getinsights.io has event tracking for webapps but is not open source
- kirubakaran 6y agohttps://github.com/PostHog/posthog https://github.com/PostHog/posthog looks great for product analytics. If you've used it, can you please share your experience?
- Zaheer 6y agoI currently use the self-hosted version on Heroku and impressed with its functionality. It's quite similar to Heap Analytics. My favorite feature is auto-tracking. That said, there are some scaling limitations currently if you have a high traffic site. We have a couple hundred thousand users monthly so we are likely on the larger side of PostHog deployments. The team is cranking out features and improvements incredibly fast and I'd expect these to be resolved soon. Feel free to DM - happy to answer any more questions.
- kirubakaran 6y agoThanks!
- volument 6y agoHere's one we are working on: https://volument.com https://volument.com — it focuses on conversion optimization.
- poidos 6y ago+1 for matomo. Very easy to set up a self-hosted instance, good documentation, and works well. NB: My site is pretty low-traffic.
- tedivm 6y agoFathom started as open source, but the founders stopped supporting the open source project. It's basically abandoned at this point, with no new releases in almost two years and only updates to the README.
- XCSme 6y agoThanks for mentioning https://www.userTrack.net https://www.userTrack.net, I'm the author and still working full-time on improving it. Let me know if you have any questions/remarks about userTrack.
- Semaphor 6y agoWow, that’s actually the first one (besides matomo which is rather enormous) that looks like a decent alternative to me with more than just bare-bones features. I’ll keep it in mind. And I really like the clear and to-the-point website. No, XCSme did not pay me for this comment ;)
- XCSme 6y agoThanks for the kind words! To be honest, I did work a lot on it, 6-7 years as a side-project and one year full-time. I think feature-wise userTrack is pretty comparable to Matomo (including some of their premium features that cost 400eur+/year). I also recently recreated the entire front-end from spaghetti jQuery to TypeScript+React+MaterialUI and implemented an auto-updater system. This means that I can now implement new features, fix bugs and distribute the updates to users very fast. I am really glad that you like the landing page! I probably changed it like 200 times in the last 2 months (last change was 2 minutes ago). I still want to improve it (eg. some hero video actually showcasing the product, so you don't have to spend time understanding the demo). PS: I hope that the BTC transfer was successful and thanks again for the comment! (jk)
- abraae 6y ago> am really glad that you like the landing page! I probably changed it like 200 times in the last 2 months (last change was 2 minutes ago). Hilarious, I have changed our new home page literally hundreds of times over the last few days and having looked at yours, I see inspiration for yet another change.
- ffpip 6y agoHey XCSme. Your product is one of the best I have seen. Very deep insights, with a good interface. Ps: You probably need a better name. Since your website says it is privacy respecting, 'UserTrack' doesn't exactly convey that. Just something with 'Track' not in the name. And adblockers like uBlock Origin tend to block everything like track.domain.com. And just a bug/overlap I noticed when hovering over the delete button - https://i.imgur.com/aBA7cpr.png https://i.imgur.com/aBA7cpr.png
- gentleman11 6y agoThe problem with matomo (not their fault) is that Microsoft flags your site as distributing malware and you disappear from search engines. You have to fill out a bunch of forms to fix it. It’s listed in the matomo faq and is basically either from a bot falsely reporting you, or some other glitch. It’s why my blog is still invisible to bing users: if you visit in edge, you get huge menacing red warnings.
- basilgohar 6y agoThis is unfortunate. I've been using them for years and wasn't aware of this. I wonder how much it's affecting the sites I use it on...
- ahnick 6y ago+1 for Plausible. I've been using it for our name generator product Mashword (https://mashword.com https://mashword.com) and it was really straightforward to implement. It's reasonably priced, has a clean interface and graphs, is privacy protecting and supports using your own domain for pulling in the js include.
- justinclift 6y ago> https://github.com/usefathom/fathom https://github.com/usefathom/fathom Be careful of this one. It started out as OSS, but switched to proprietary once they'd achieved traction.
- kukabynd 6y agoThereˆs also https://ackee.electerious.com/ https://ackee.electerious.com/, quite simple but a good option.
- tiffanyh 6y agoThere are a bunch of Github "awesome software" lists. One thing I haven't seen is someone categorize open source web traffic analytics into Client Side Analytics (via javascript) and Web Server Log analytics. Since each approach drastically changes the data collected and reported.
- gen220 6y agoAre there any all-in-one-ish solutions that attempt to do both? i.e. collects both (or one of either) server logs and client side analytics, normalize them, etc.
- mxuribe 6y agoMatomo does provide an alternative to leverage web server log files (beyond the usual client side javascript)...using a python script: https://matomo.org/faq/log-analytics-tool/ https://matomo.org/faq/log-analytics-tool/ When i first migrated (my personal sites) away from GA, i was concerned about performance, so was considering using server logs, and stumbled upon this feature of matomo. The javascript approach ended up not being the performance issue that i thought it would be...so i never ended up using the python script...So your mileage may vary, but to your question, this does exist.
- jdub 6y agoAre we only looking at little ones that have their own user interface? If not, Snowplow is the prime mover of web and event tracking. https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow
