"Plausible" is another, even if I don't like their support.
- Volker_W 5y agoWhy don't you like plausible?
- kingcharles 5y agoJust that their support rubbed me the wrong way. I wanted to use their commercial offering but it had a bug which stopped my site returning any telemetry. They basically refused to do anything about it, and that was a big red flag. With Javascript analytics you need to know that it is returning for 100% of compatible clients with JS enabled, otherwise you are missing valuable metrics. Google Analytics worked fine on my site. Plausible's script causes a script error which killed it dead. It's only a bug in their commercial system. I spent hours debugging it myself and found the bug in their system. Seeing as it's a bug only in their commercial offering (not their open source one) I said "throw me some free credit for my time" and they said "no thanks, I'm sure we'll figure it out ourselves one day, don't worry about it". After that I didn't want to touch their product. I also pinged Marko (co-founder) on Twitter and no response there either. So, honestly can't recommend their paid service at all.
- sccxy 5y agoJust replaced my Google Analytics with Plausible. Self hosted docker and it is not blocked by adblocker (nginx custom js filename). Only thing I miss at the moment is extensive GA history which is gone now, but Plausible is so much faster and simpler and maybe they implement history import someday.
- ukutaht 5y agoWe're working on GA import at the moment[1], it will be the next big feature we land. As with everything we will integrate and test with our large customer base on the hosted version and then release it for self-hosted as well. Next release is planned in Q2. 1: https://github.com/plausible/analytics/pull/1466 https://github.com/plausible/analytics/pull/1466
