The open-source Plausible alternative

Both are privacy-first, cookieless and open source. Open Analytics adds realtime journeys, revenue attribution and plain-English answers over the same lightweight script, and imports your Plausible history on the way in.

The short answer

Plausible and Open Analytics are both open-source, cookieless analytics you can self-host, and neither needs a consent banner.

Plausible is the more established product, with a longer track record.

Open Analytics goes further: revenue attributed back to its source, per-visitor journeys, funnels, and questions answered in plain English.

Revenue attribution. Plausible tracks revenue on custom goals; it does not attribute a payment back to the visit and the source that produced it.
Every visitor's journey. Session-by-session trail for one anonymous visitor, from an identity that rotates daily.
Bring your history with you. Plausible imports from Google Analytics; we import from Plausible, Fathom, Simple Analytics, DataFast, Seline and Rybbit.
Starting price. The meters differ, so read them carefully. Plausible counts pageviews; we count events, which includes pageviews and anything you tag with data-oa-event. Custom events on Plausible's starter plan count toward the same 10,000.

Bring your Plausible history with you

Export your stats from Plausible and upload the ZIP exactly as it arrives. We parse it, show you what is inside, and nothing reaches your dashboard until you have reviewed it, so a bad import is something you cancel, not something you undo.

Why teams choose Open Analytics. Not just a lighter dashboard.

Questions people ask. Straight answers.

Yes. Export your stats from Plausible and upload the ZIP in Settings → Import & export. You review what the archive contains before anything is published to your dashboard.

Yes. Open Analytics is open source and self-hostable, and the hosted plan exists so you do not have to run it yourself. Both products are built on the same principle: no cookies, no personal data, no consent banner.

No. Neither Plausible nor Open Analytics sets cookies or collects personal data, so neither requires a consent banner under GDPR or ePrivacy. Visitors are counted with a rotating anonymous identifier that cannot be linked across days.

Both start at $9 per month. Plausible's entry plan covers 10,000 pageviews; ours covers 50,000 events, where an event is a pageview or anything you tag yourself. Compare the meters, not the price.

Plausible has been in production for years with a large community and a well-worn self-hosting path, and it integrates with Google Search Console. If you want the most established privacy-first dashboard and nothing beyond it, Plausible is the safer pick.
