I also started a privacy-friendly analytics SaaS without looking at the market. Sometimes it's better to just get started. Otherwise you probably won't start doing anything, as there are existing products most of the time. In my case, I was looking for a Go (golang) solution that I could embed in my website, as a library so to speak, and just turned it into a product later as I was looking for a new project to work on.
We're now at $1500 MRR and growing. I'm also opposing the position of "just being against GA" now and we try to differentiate more. It's almost impossible to get anyone away from GA who does do performance marketing. So I don't quite see how Plausible or other privacy-friendly products are a replacement. But most websites that use GA just don't have to, because they don't rely so much on ads or personal data to get value.
