Plain outbound link — no affiliate parameters, no tracking redirects.

Why it's listed

Plausible is what analytics looks like when the visitor isn't the product: a sub-1KB script, no cookies, no cross-site tracking, and a dashboard you can read in ten seconds. The company is bootstrapped, publishes its revenue openly, and open-sources the entire product under AGPL — you can pay them to host it or run the same code yourself. We verified pricing transparency, the no-tracking claim (request log is clean), and the self-host path.
