Head to head
Plausible
Plausible is web analytics reduced to what most sites actually need: one lightweight script, one readable dashboard, no cookies and no consent banner required for it. As an EU-hosted, open-source, subscription-funded product, its privacy stance is structural rather than marketing. It deliberately omits user-level funnels, session recordings and ad-platform integrations — sites that live on paid acquisition will miss those, while content sites rarely do.
Lightweight, privacy-first web analytics.

- Privacy-friendly
- Tiny script

Amplitude
Amplitude is the enterprise benchmark for product analytics, going beyond dashboards into behavioral cohorts, experiment analysis and predictive audiences. Its governance features — data taxonomy, verified events — keep large organizations from drowning in messy instrumentation. The free tier is generous enough for startups, but paid pricing is opaque and negotiated, and smaller teams may find Mixpanel covers their needs with less ceremony.
