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.

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.

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.
