| The verdict | A no frills, privacy respecting website analytics tool with a deliberately small feature set. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Podcasters who want the absolute basics of website traffic without a complicated dashboard to learn. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone who wants event tracking, funnels, or anything beyond simple pageview counts and referrers. |
| The gotcha | The simplicity is the whole point, so if you outgrow basic pageview stats you'll need a different tool entirely. |
| Public plans | Read public plan notes
|
| Pricing notes | Paid pricing scales with traffic. Additional users cost $20/month each. The initial trial and permanent limited hobby plan are separate. |
