Best for cookieless web stats with carbon reporting
Cabin is cookieless web analytics with carbon reporting, and the free plan covers 1 site and 10,000 pageviews. Custom events, API access and Search Console need Plus at $14 a month. The free plan keeps only 30 days of data.
Who Cabin is for
- Fits if you run one or a few small sites and want stats without a cookie banner
- Works for people who want carbon figures for their pages
Who Cabin is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 1 domain, 10,000 pageviews and 30 days of data
- Pricey if you need custom events or API access, which start at Plus, $14 a month
- Watch out: the vendor won't stop recording past your cap but asks you to upgrade
- Watch out: past 5 million pageviews it's a sales call

Keep Cabin, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Cabin you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 49 of the 58 other website and product analytics tools we grade. It costs $168 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Claude and Cursor among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Cabin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cabin?
Cabin is a hosted web analytics service that does not use cookies, log IP addresses or build visitor profiles, so it says no consent banner is needed. It reports pageviews, referrers, scroll depth, AI traffic and the estimated CO2 emissions of a site, and it connects to AI assistants through MCP.
