Simple Analytics is exactly what it says

PROS

It's robust but also very easy to use, with a well laid out and responsive dashboard

CONS

I don't think there is anything in particular that is wrong with it at this pricepoint and stated use.

Simple, meaningful, easy to implement privacy-friendly and cookie-free website insights

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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Simple Analytics

The complexity of the Google Analytics UI was often challenging for website owners and required customization to provide clients with relevant information. Most importantly, after implementing a cookie-consent notice and opt-out, website visitor stats changed greatly as it then charted usage only for those who consented.

Privacy aware analystics

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.

Reason for choosing Simple Analytics

It's really the best alternative in case you care about the privacy of your users.

PROS

In case of questions or ambiguities, the Simple Analytics team is always available to give a clear answer.

CONS

The tool is basic and very easy to use. As a result, it is not possible to analyse or collect data in detail.

Fast, Privacy Friendly Analytics

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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Simple Analytics

Privacy reasons – my agency aims to build fast, privacy-friendly websites.

As it's called: Simple Analytics...

PROS

Very nice to get insights in my website statistics, without "sponsoring" Google or Facebook or providing them with info about users. Besides that it saves a lot of time from staring at those GA stats. I have a professional view on my work, the content of my site is the most important thing to get visitors. Since I left Google Analytics and deleted Facebook, my website is still visited very good and I feel I have not lost any visitors. And no boring cookie message anymore!

CONS

No cons so far. I hope more people start to use Simple Analytics.

Reasons for switching to Simple Analytics

My own privacy and the privacy of my visitors.

Simple Analytics is a Great Option for Website Analytics

Having analytics on the website without all of the unnecessary tracking

PROS

The ability to track what you need to and easily understand business KPIs. Simple and easy to use interface and UI experience. Not having to put Cookies usage warnings on the site.

CONS

Less features than more robust analytics software. Lack of ability to better customize and create more visual ways to display data.

Reason for choosing Simple Analytics

Easier to use and import past data. Did not violate personal privacy. Great tool for gaining effective insights at a glance compared to alternatives.

Reasons for switching to Simple Analytics

The other products were too complicated to use. The hands on customer service from a smaller company of Simple Analytics is much better than very limited email support from others.

Best analytics tool that simplifies all the work for marketers!

It's a good experience, simplicity, daitailled anaytics, and perfect customer care!

PROS

The combination of the simple dashboard and how they implement all the features in it to be so smooth!

CONS

I don't think k that there's something like that, unfortunately, simple analitics needs few other features to be implemented, but they are working on them for sure, we are finding big updates in the platform from now and then!

Easy no-frills consent-free analytics

PROS

As Google Analytics requires user consent, we needed a consent-free analytics solution to measure our real traffic. Simple Analytics provides just that. It's super easy to set up including custom events and the API integration allows us to upload all data in our data warehouse and combine it with other KPIs in our custom dashboards.

CONS

I have no real complaints except that maybe the usability of the dashboard could be improved.

Great GDPR-conformant analytics solution that's very easy to integrate

We had a small issue with some events initially not getting tracked, which turned out to be related to the document structure on our site. Simple Analytics' support was super responsive and worked with us to ready a fix on their side in record time, which was a great customer experience for us!

PROS

We were looking for a GDPR-conformant analytics solution that also works without setting any browser cookies, and Simple Analytics fits the bill perfectly.

CONS

Nothing really. From my perspective, I was only concerned with integrating SA into a website project, and that was very easy and straight-forward.

PROS

Easy to use, support is quick (and often not needed - because it's very easy to use). Love the dark mode too - can't believe sites still don't have this as standard.

CONS

Ethical Analytics

Great. Had a few quirks to work out and the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] replied to my email in less than 24 hours.

PROS

As a developer creating software on the side of my normal job, it's important to me that I can see how users are using my site. However I don't want to sell out my users for the sake of a few graphs. Simple Analytics bridges that gap: a good product that I pay a little money for and it aligns all the incentives nicely. So far very happy with them.

CONS

It's not free. If you're looking for free, this isn't it, but I prefer it that way so they're incentivized to serve me, not their own interests.

Reason for choosing Simple Analytics

Stop giving your data to Google and support a European privacy-centric startup

Happy with them, fair pricing. They recently gave me a pleasant surprise I was not expecting when they notified me about an issue with the upcoming expiration of my SSL certificate.

PROS

Their approach and philosophy toward privacy. I was looking for a solution to replace Google Analytics on 6 different websites running WordPress and Ghost. I came across Simple Analytics thanks to Leave me Alone (a service to unsubscribe from unwanted emails) and I liked the interface and their philosophy. The integration was easy, they have an official plugin for WordPress, and for Ghost it is a few lines of code to add. The domain verification was easy and their starter plan is perfect for the business websites of my family and my personal ones. I like that they also have a browser plugin to exclude your own visits. The app, although simple is good for quickly checking your stats on the go.

CONS

The lack of funnel analysis. However, after looking at the documentation, I understood that I had to implement events so that I can create conversion rate funnels but I have not had time to do it yet.

Great lightweight analytics tool!

PROS

Nice analytics tool for us to track visits without using cookies. The APi works well and we use it to implement it in our dashboard.

CONS

The dashboard websites overview page could you a list option with more basis metrics, but since we use this in our own custom dashboard with the API, we don't use the Simple Analytics dashboard that much.

Reasons for switching to Simple Analytics

We did not want to use Google Analytics and Piwik has destroyed the good and simple features they had. Simple Analytics filled that gap for us.

Simple Analytics is easy and fast to use

PROS

Privacy-first is the main reason we chose SA so it's reassuring to know we are capturing as much data as possible. I love the simple UI that is a welcome break from other analytics tools. Helps me to speed through my tasks without having to deep dive into docs. It's also really easy to develop locally using dev only scripts and overwriting the domain name. These features are very important to me in my day to day work.

CONS

One feature that is missing that would be useful to my job is more visitor data types that can be added to the dashboard. For example: the screen dimensions of visitors.

Simple! Analytics

It is an easy program to use and became the daily way to check the website stats. I will admit I still use GA as the more in-depth report making software, but Simple Analytics is the easier day-to-day check on the website. Also Customer support is incredibly fast!

PROS

It is really easy to take the data and show it to non-data minded people. It is quick to find the information that you are looking for. No need for cookies, meaning a better picture of the true amount of visitors to your website. Some AMAZING customer support, helpful and quick responses.

CONS

Not as in-depth as other analytics programs, due to no cookies needed.
