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.

Great support

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.
