The product is simple and very easy to use (much more than google analytics) > > **Cons**: may be difficult to read real time url when you have long url > > pricing is okno service interruptiongreat support ----- ### "Simple, meaningful, easy to implement privacy-friendly and cookie-free website insights" — 5.0/5 > **Julian** | *26 May 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Refreshingly straightforward to implement, GDPR-compliant and informative, Simple Analytics allows website owners to obtain meaningful insight into their website usage while respecting their visitors' privacy. Not having to implement a cookie consent notice (for web analytics at least) is one less obstruction and also means that the analytics reflects a greater proportion of website visitors than with other cookie-based systems where data is only collected for consenting visitors. The statistics are also more readable than Google Analytics and easy to share with the website owner. The ability to include simpleanalytics from one's own domain to avoid ad-blocking is an added bonus. > > **Cons**: Usage and implementation is very straightforward. To be clear, Simple Analytics cannot replace the full spectrum of more detailed analytics tools with integrated advertising conversions or purchasing funnels (though custom events can be tracked), but for the large numbers of users who just wish to gain general insight into the website usage, it's a perfect match. > > Simple to implement, meaningful website insights for all those more interested in how their website is used rather than personal details about their visitors. A more pleasant experience for developers, website owners and visitors. ----- ### "Analytics without all the hassle" — 4.0/5 > **Jeroen** | *7 June 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found Simple Analytics to be an excellent alternative for Google Analytics. Simple Analytics values the privacy of my users, is located in the EU and does one thing very well: Analytics. > > **Cons**: Setting up a custom domain took longer than expected, because of an issue with SSL, but this was quickly resolved with the help of their support. ----- ### "Privacy aware analystics" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *17 April 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is the easiest to set up, privacy aware alternative for the big "tracking giants." I don't want to spy on my website's visitors, I just want to know they were there. > > **Cons**: I really cannot recall anything, which I don't like about the product. ----- ### "Fast, Privacy Friendly Analytics" — 5.0/5 > **Dougie** | *11 January 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Solid website analytics software that's simple to use, ease to implement, and most of all it respects the users privacy. Doesn't use cookies so less likely you'll require a cookie consent banner. Compared to GA4 it is less resource intensive so faster page load times which helps as a signal for SEO. > > **Cons**: The team are working on releasing new features so the only con is that I am impatient for these. > > Very good small team. Quick customer support. Easy to use software with very little learning curve. Just enough data to be useful without the headache of GA4. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/438428/simple-analytics?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/438428/simple-analytics) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
