Worth knowing
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.
Tinylytics
- There is no free plan; only the 14-day trial is free.
- Fair-usage terms apply above 1 million hits a month, and the vendor may contact heavy sites.

Key features
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.
Tinylytics
- Cookie-free analytics
- Counts visits, not people: no cookies, fingerprinting or cross-site tracking. Unique hits use rotating salts, and data is hosted in Europe.
- Uptime and SSL monitoring
- Checks a site from several regions every 10 minutes and emails when it goes down, returns or has a certificate problem. Ultra can check as often as every minute.
- Content checks
- Crawls pages on a schedule to flag broken links and mixed content. Ultra can add AI spell checking of visible page text.
- Events
- A data attribute on any button, link or form records clicks, downloads and sign-ups next to page views, with no tag manager.
- Insights, reports and public stats
- Opt-in traffic insights, a weekly email report and public stats pages, plus filtering by date, path, referrer, country, browser and platform.
- Webhooks, API and export
- Real-time webhooks for hits, kudos and monitoring events with signed payloads, a full API and CSV export of all data.

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.
