Simple Analytics is exactly what it says
It's robust but also very easy to use, with a well laid out and responsive dashboard
CONSI 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.
PROSRefreshingly 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.
CONSUsage 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
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.
CONSI 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.

Great support
In case of questions or ambiguities, the Simple Analytics team is always available to give a clear answer.
CONSThe tool is basic and very easy to use. As a result, it is not possible to analyse or collect data in detail.

Easy no-frills consent-free analytics
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.
CONSI have no real complaints except that maybe the usability of the dashboard could be improved.

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.
PROSSolid 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.
CONSThe 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...
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!
CONSNo 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
PROSThe 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.
CONSLess 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!
PROSThe combination of the simple dashboard and how they implement all the features in it to be so smooth!
CONSI 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!

I was looking for that simple touch where i can see everything without feeling overwhelmed with so much data that won't get me anywhere!

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!
PROSWe were looking for a GDPR-conformant analytics solution that also works without setting any browser cookies, and Simple Analytics fits the bill perfectly.
CONSNothing really. From my perspective, I was only concerned with integrating SA into a website project, and that was very easy and straight-forward.

Great overall experience - happy to recommend to anyone.
PROSEasy 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.
CONSI don't have any cons for this product - it does what it needs to do and does it consistently well

Simple, straightforward and privacyminded
Excellent alternative for Google Analytics. Yes, you pay a small subscription, but you get a lot in return: GDPR-proof and cookieless analytics, accurate tracking and clear visuals.
PROSAccurate tracking, great visuals, has every feature you'll need. Hint: try their Chrome extension, it excludes your own visits to your site : )
CONSNot applicable: I'm really stoked about Simple Analytics.

Simple Analytics is easy and fast to use
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.
CONSOne 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.

Easy to use
Gives you a good overview to see where your customers come from while being privacy-friendly.
CONSI haven't found any cons so far. Although I assume it's less detailed than other, less privacy-friendly analytics but that is to be expected.
