Why it's listed

GoatCounter is listed in website analytics because it competes on utility: no-nonsense analytics in a single go binary. It's built by an independent, bootstrapped team — no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no ad-tax passed to you. Licensed EUPL-1.2; pricing: free / donations. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
