Best for cheap privacy-focused site stats
Pirsch counts visits without cookies and costs $6 a month for 10,000 page views, with a 30-day trial that needs no card. Funnels, teams and A/B testing need Plus at $12, and if you pass the limit you can only see that day's stats unless you upgrade within five days.
Who Pirsch is for
- Fits if you want cookieless stats for a small site for a few dollars a month
- Works for people moving over from Plausible, Fathom or Google Analytics
Who Pirsch is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as only the 30-day trial is free
- Tight if you pass 10,000 page views, because events count toward the limit and stats show only that day until you upgrade
- Too light for funnels, teams, A/B testing or custom domains on Standard, all on Plus
- Watch out: on-premise installation is listed only on Enterprise

Keep Pirsch, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Pirsch you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 44 of the 58 other website and product analytics tools we grade. It costs $72 a year. Pirsch is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
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.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Google Analytics and Plausible among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Pirsch’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.
