Plausible Analytics

Privacy-friendly web analytics, offered as a managed cloud service and as the self-hosted Plausible Community Edition.

Plausible Analytics is web analytics software from a company that describes itself as independent, open source and based in the EU. The software is written in Elixir and stores its data in PostgreSQL and ClickHouse. The self-hosted Community Edition is installed with Docker from a separate deployment repository, and the managed cloud service is built and hosted in the EU.

Worth knowing

The cloud service and the Community Edition are released separately. The cloud ships several times per week, while the self-hosting docs describe the Community Edition as a long-term release published twice per year. Marketing funnels, user journeys, ecommerce revenue goals, SSO and the sites API are not available in the Community Edition.
