I guess Plausible.io and similar are going to be drowning in cash in the next few months.

I really hope they do.

Looks great! But I feel that $9/month (up to 10k views) is a bit much for my personal website... I pay that much to Google now, but I get a whole suite of tools besides analyticsm, like email addresses (for my whole family under our surname as a domain, which is cool), my own domain (via GogoDaddy, but I got that via Google and pay Google only) and all the small business office tools they offer (though I think those are free?). Are the any alternatives that offer the same kind of thing as Google?

  Why do you need analytics for your personal website?

    because he wants them and Google offers them at a very reasonable price, forcing people to use inferior products is bad

      > forcing people to use inferior products is bad This is poor reasoning because it is missing context.

  Oh, it seems they raised their prices. I think I'm still on the old plan, cause I pay $48/year. Still, it looks like the cheapest option out there. Matomo costs €19/month, Fathom - $14/month (or $140/year), Piwik Pro has a free option, but they're very enterprise oriented, not sure if they're good for small sites

    You can use Piwik PRO Core which is free up to 500.000 actions/month: http://piwik.pro/core-plan/ http://piwik.pro/core-plan/

  For your personal webpage you can always use whatever piwik is called today. (I still can't remember after all these years.) Or you can rely on server logs. Luckily for everyone but simultaneously sadly for the curious ones among us I think the referer header is broken so the thing I always wanted to know - where users came from - is a lot less useful these days.

    My website is hosted for free by Netlify. They don't allow me to see the logs though unless I pay $9/month: https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics/ https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics/ Damn it! Looks like I'll have to set up my own web server and save the logs myself.

      If the recent ruling regarding Akamai becomes precedent, Netlify won’t be a viable option either. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=aeb03ae3-1ce7-4fdf-9ffe-ed47115a0fd4 https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=aeb03ae3-1ce7...
