Worth knowing
Seline
- There is no free plan, only a 7-day trial; the vendor says it is funded by subscribers alone.
- Pricing is per website, though one site can be linked to another Pro subscription to share its event limit.
- Pageviews and custom events share one monthly limit, with the price rising as the limit does.
- Done-for-you setup is an extra $99, and a Pro plan is still required afterwards.
Simple Analytics
- The free plan keeps only the latest month of data and requires a Simple Analytics badge on the site.
- The price follows pageviews, and the paid plan includes one user; extra users are $20 a month each.
- Bills from $500 can be paid by bank transfer, with an extra 10% in banking and service fees.
- It records pageviews and events without visitor IDs, so it does not follow individual users across visits.
Key features
Seline
- Real-time dashboard
- Referrers, UTMs, pages, countries and devices on one page that updates as visitors arrive.
- Journeys and funnels
- Follow a visitor from the referring link through each page and custom event, and build conversion funnels.
- Profiles and revenue analytics
- Identify users with one call to build per-user profiles; revenue analytics is part of the single plan.
- AI chat and MCP
- Seline AI can query your data, answer questions, create funnels and export CSVs, in the app or through an MCP interface.
- Cookieless tracking
- The roughly 2 KB script sets no cookies; the vendor says no consent banner is needed and the service is GDPR compliant.
- Public API and ad-blocker bypass
- A public API is included, along with an ad-blocker bypass and bot detection, with forever data retention.
Simple Analytics
- No cookies, no personal data
- The service says it sets no cookies, collects no personal data and creates no visitor IDs, so it does not need a consent banner.
- One-page dashboard
- Traffic is shown on a single dashboard that needs no configuration, with a public live dashboard available to view as an example.
- Run beside GA4
- Can run next to Google Analytics 4 to record pageviews and events from visitors who reject consent, so the two datasets can be compared.
- API and BI access
- A full API and exports let teams pull the data into their existing reporting tools. An MCP server and an AI assistant are also listed.
- Google Analytics import
- Historical Google Analytics data can be imported so reporting does not restart from zero after a switch.
- EU hosting
- Data is stored in the EU, with primary infrastructure in the Netherlands, and leaves it only when a customer opts into a feature such as the AI assistant.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
