| The verdict | A fuller featured, privacy focused web analytics platform that can be self hosted or run as a paid cloud service. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Podcasters or networks who want Google Analytics level depth without handing data to Google, and are willing to either self host or pay for cloud. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone wanting the simplest possible setup, since Matomo has more configuration and more to learn than lighter tools. |
| The gotcha | It's more powerful and more complex than tools like Plausible or Fathom, which means more setup time before it's useful. |
