Enterprise Software: Plausible Analytics hosting

Plausible Analyticshosting

Plausible is the lean, privacy-friendly web analytics alternative to Google Analytics – cookieless, without personal data and GDPR-compliant. We host Plausible for you on European infrastructure, so you get understandable numbers about your website without a cookie-banner requirement and without sending data to Google. Web analytics that respects your visitors and still delivers the answers you need.

Challenges you'll recognise

  • Google Analytics is overloaded, and you can barely find the few numbers you care about.
  • The cookie banner deters visitors and distorts your data because many decline analytics.
  • Using Google Analytics leaves an uneasy data-protection feeling because of the data transfer to the US.

Privacy-first web analytics

Plausible shows you the truly relevant metrics – visitors, sources, pages, conversions – on a clear dashboard without drowning you in reports. No data overkill, just answers to the questions that matter.

Cookieless & GDPR-compliant

Plausible collects no personal data and sets no cookies – in many constellations this even removes the cookie-banner requirement for analytics. Self-hosted, all data stays on your European infrastructure.

Self-hosted setup

We install Plausible, connect it via a tracking snippet to your website or tag manager and set up goals and conversions. If needed we import historical data from Google Analytics.

Operation & monitoring

We keep Plausible up to date, monitor operation and back up your analytics data. This way your data collection stays reliable without you having to deal with the server.

Plausible in action

Privacy-friendly web analytics – lightweight, with no forced cookie banner.

Good to know

  • Data minimisation as a principle

    Plausible collects no personal data and works without cookies – this is not only privacy-friendly but also yields less distorted numbers, because fewer visitors block the collection.

  • Lean and fast

    The tracking script is very small and barely affects your website's load time – in contrast to heavyweight analytics suites.

  • Data on your own infrastructure

    Self-hosted, your analytics data stays in Europe and under your control instead of flowing to an advertising corporation.

Plausible vs. Google Analytics & Fathom

With web analytics it's not just about price, but about data ownership. Google Analytics is free – you pay with your visitors' data and GDPR risk. Self-hosted Plausible is yours. As of June 2026.

As of June 2026. Plausible Cloud would start at $9/mo – self-hosted, the software is free and you only pay server and operations costs. The real win is data ownership: your analytics data never leaves your infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

Do we still need a cookie banner with Plausible?
Plausible works cookieless and without personal data, which is why in many cases no consent banner is needed for analytics. The final assessment is made by your data protection officer – but the technical basis is deliberately data-minimal.
Can we take over our Google Analytics data?
An import of historical data is possible depending on the situation, so you don't start from scratch. We clarify upfront what can reasonably be carried over.
Is Plausible enough or do we need the full feature set of Google Analytics?
Plausible deliberately focuses on the most important metrics and is therefore understandable and fast. If you need deep, granular analyses or tight integration with the Google advertising ecosystem, we'll discuss that honestly.
