Statsdot compared

How Statsdot compares with Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, Fathom and Umami: price, cookies, hosting and features.

• Statsdot or Google Analytics 4? Free and powerful, but with cookies, a consent banner and data in the US. When each one makes sense.
• Statsdot or Plausible? Same privacy approach. Plausible has more features; Statsdot is cheaper, has a free plan and speaks six languages.
• Statsdot or Matomo? A complete suite you can self-host, with cookies by default. When the simpler tool is enough.
• Statsdot or Fathom? Polished and cookieless, with data stored in the US and no free plan. Price and data location compared.
• Statsdot or Umami? Open source, self-hostable and feature-rich. The difference is in hosting, the visitor hash and who maintains it.
