Simple Analytics
Privacy-first web analytics with cookieless measurement, an uncluttered dashboard, EU hosting, APIs, exports, and a free hobby plan.
About Simple Analytics
Simple Analytics reports website traffic without cookies, persistent identifiers, or stored IP addresses. The one-page dashboard focuses on pageviews and traffic sources and needs little configuration. Because metrics are aggregated and data is hosted in the EU, less personal data enters the analytics stack. Teams can also run it beside GA4 or another analytics platform to measure visits that consent banners and ad blockers may hide. Developers and data teams can query reports, export raw data, connect BI tools, or build internal dashboards through the APIs. The free hobby option covers five websites for one user, keeps one month of history, and requires a badge. Paid self-serve service starts at $20 per month for 100,000 monthly pageviews and includes one user; extra users cost more. Enterprise buyers can request SSO, role-based access, an SLA, manual invoicing, vendor onboarding, Looker Studio support, and help with security reviews. This makes the service practical for privacy-conscious sites, agencies comparing consented and total traffic, and products that embed analytics. Teams that require user profiles, cross-site tracking, or detailed behavioral attribution should first check whether aggregated reporting has enough detail.
Best for
Best use cases
Use the one-page dashboard when a team needs a quick view of website traffic without configuring visitor-level tracking.
Run Simple Analytics beside GA4 or Adobe Analytics when consent rejection and ad blockers may leave gaps in traffic totals.
Choose enterprise deployment when procurement, security reviews, role controls, an SLA, or manual invoicing are required.
Compare before choosing
Compared with cookie-based analytics, Simple Analytics avoids cookies and persistent identifiers but provides less visitor-level behavioral detail.
Compared with building an analytics pipeline in-house, its APIs and managed infrastructure reduce maintenance while introducing subscription and usage costs.
Compared with the free hobby plan, paid plans remove hobby constraints and expand commercial capabilities, users, history, and support.

Pros
- Cookieless, identifier-free measurement reduces personal-data collection and can remove the need for an analytics consent banner.
- A one-page dashboard and low-configuration setup shorten the path from installation to usable traffic reporting.
- APIs, raw exports, BI connections, and white-label options support workflows beyond the built-in dashboard.
Cons
- The free hobby plan is limited to one user, five websites, one month of history, and requires a visible badge.
- The $20 monthly self-serve starting price covers one user; every additional user adds another $20 per month.
- Aggregated privacy-first reporting may not fit teams that depend on visitor profiles, cross-site tracking, or detailed behavioral attribution.
