What it does
Simple Analytics collects pageviews, events, referrers and campaign parameters without visitor IDs. Reports and APIs can supply a dashboard, BI tool or warehouse, including comparisons alongside Google Analytics.
Simple Analytics records pageviews, events, referrers and campaign activity. The company says it does this without cookies or visitor IDs, and does not track people across sessions or devices. That makes it useful for aggregate traffic reporting, including a second set of measurements alongside Google Analytics, rather than an individual customer's history.
Its free hobby plan supports five websites and one user, retains one month of history and requires a badge. Paid self-service access has a 14-day trial; the displayed 100,000-pageview option costs GBP 20 per month for one user, with extra users costing GBP 20 per month each.
To begin, register with an email address using a magic link or password, then add the website's tracking integration. If you compare its results with Google Analytics, match the date range and the metric first: the two services define sessions differently. Pageviews and events can be exported or retrieved through the API for a shared dashboard or warehouse report.
