Frequently Asked Questions

How many analytics platforms are covered?▾
The advisor includes 14 analytics platforms: GA4, Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, Umami, Zenovay, PostHog, Simple Analytics, Heap, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Pirsch, Cabin, and Splitbee. Each platform is evaluated on 14+ criteria.
What criteria are compared?▾
Each platform is evaluated on pricing, free tier availability, cookieless tracking, GDPR compliance, self-hostability, open source status, realtime analytics, ecommerce tracking, funnels, session recording, A/B testing, data ownership, EU data residency, and suitability.
Which analytics tool is best for GDPR compliance?▾
Plausible, Fathom, Umami, Pirsch, Simple Analytics, and Zenovay are all designed with GDPR compliance in mind. They use cookieless tracking and EU-hosted infrastructure, so you typically do not need a cookie consent banner for analytics.
Is Google Analytics 4 GDPR compliant?▾
GA4 has faced legal challenges in the EU due to data transfers to US servers. While Google has introduced EU data residency options for GA4 360, the free version still processes data on US infrastructure. You need a cookie consent banner and proper DPA in place.
What is cookieless analytics?▾
Cookieless analytics tools track pageviews and visitors without setting cookies. They use techniques like hashed IP addresses or fingerprinting alternatives that do not require cookie consent banners, simplifying GDPR compliance.
Can I switch from Google Analytics?▾
Yes. Most privacy-friendly alternatives offer simple script-based installation. You can run them alongside GA4 during a transition period. Note that historical data will not migrate — you start fresh with the new tool.
