I was looking for a cookie-less Analytics solution with great dashboard UX to share with clients, to complement my cookie-based Analytics stack. In Plausible I have found that!
In addition, their support system is fabulous. Quick, to the point, and knowledgeable. That is a rare find these days.
It is very reliable and well supported web analytics that includes WordPress plugin. I am utilizing community edition which is good for my low traffic websites.
The plugin overall works amazingly well. When something is not working as expected, the support responds at ninja-level speed with actionable solutions.
Would give 10 stars if I could!
I hate when plugin providers don’t mention that the plugin requires
1. a registration on their website
2. a paid subscription after a short trial
How hard can it be to mention this right away to save users time and anger? I would never subscribe to any service where the provider isn’t up front and transparent about their business model.
Thanks for wasting my time.
Installation is quick and easy, and the interface is clean and user-friendly, perfect for both beginners and experts. By not using cookies and complying with GDPR, it ensures user privacy.

Highly recommended!
