About Simple Analytics

Simple Analytics is a privacy-first web analytics service founded in 2018 by Adriaan van Rossum and based in the Netherlands. It collects no cookies, IP addresses or personal data and does not fingerprint visitors, so it is designed to comply with GDPR, PECR and similar laws without a consent banner, and data is stored in the EU.

The dashboard shows pageviews, visitors, referrers, UTM campaigns, countries, devices and time on page, with goals and events for conversions. Its distinguishing features are an AI assistant that answers questions about your data in plain language and builds charts, plus options to share dashboards publicly, export raw data and query everything through an API. Plans are priced by monthly pageviews: a free plan for hobby sites, a self-serve plan from 20 dollars a month for 100,000 pageviews that scales with traffic and extra users, and Enterprise with an assisted trial.

Simple Analytics fits EU companies, privacy-focused publishers and teams that want clear traffic reporting with a strong compliance story. It lacks funnels, retention cohorts and user-level product analytics, segmentation is limited, and it costs more than self-hosting a free tool such as Umami. Plausible and Fathom are the closest paid alternatives with a similar philosophy, Matomo offers a fuller feature set with self-hosting, and PostHog suits teams that need product analytics rather than website statistics.
