Best addition to my Analytics stack
by krikke·4 months ago

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.

Reliable Well Supported
by Skrlance·7 months ago

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.

Lightning fast support
by obijuandev·1 year ago

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!

Requires registration and payment
by Andre·1 year ago·3 replies

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.

Is a Gem For Those Who Value Simplicity and Privacy
by Anonymous User·1 year ago

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. Additionally, its impact on site performance is minimal due to its lightweight script. If you’re looking for a straightforward alternative to Google Analytics, Plausible is the ideal choice. Highly recommended!
