Simple Analytics

What it is for

Simple Analytics is a hosted Top Lists desk: you read referrals / pages / devices / countries, and the public Cloud start we fetched is $20/month at 100k pageviews (Free hobby exists: 5 sites, 1-month history, badge required). Use it when the job is a traffic list you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Simple Analytics’ official Top Lists (dashboard.simpleanalytics.com/simpleanalytics.com, Referrals google.com 10k / (direct) 8.6k, Pages / 12k / /pricing 2.1k, Devices desktop 80% / mobile 20%, Countries US 15% / DE 9%, Browsers Chrome 65%) from the media-kit still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Top Lists.

Key features

• Top Lists — ranked referrals, pages, devices, countries, and browsers (cover still; media kit). One desk. Cover google.com 10k / / 12k / desktop 80% sit here.
• Visitors chart — pageviews / visitors over a date range (chart still; docs). A series, not a referral row. The media-kit Chart still prints 23k visitors / 31k pageviews / Jan 16–Feb 14 2025.
• Goals — conversions you pin next to the chart (Goals still; pricing). A goal, not a Top List.
• Events Explorer — custom events you filter (Events still; docs). An event table, not a country bar.
• Websites — the site list you add a script to (docs; Free is 5 websites). A property, not a Top List.

Trend lines / Compare filtered / Pageviews toggles on the cover are CTAs (not desks). The $20 pageview slider and Free hobby tile are the meter. Dashboard AI is an AI extra, not a sixth desk we fold into Top Lists.

Who it's for

Best fit: site owners who will stay on Free hobby (5 websites, 1-month history, badge) or pay $20/month at 100k pageviews while they open a first Top Lists, then raise the pageview slider or add +$20/user when a second seat is required.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from simpleanalytics.com/pricing. Figures below are the printed USD we fetched.

• Free hobby — $0 forever after the trial if you stay inside Free: 1 user, 5 websites, 1 month history, badge required, unlimited pageviews under fair use. Older-than-30-day data is deleted.
• Self-serve paid — $20/month at the default 100k pageviews slider we fetched (slider also names 2.5M). Includes 1 user; extra users +$20/month each. EU-hosted, no cookies / no consent banner.
• Trial — 14-day self-serve trial, no card. After 14 days pick Free or paid.
• GA4 proof of concept — assisted 30-day side-by-side; custom quote, not a printed dollar.
• Enterprise / POC — custom. Confirm the live quote. Bills over $500 can pay by bank transfer (+10%).

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location. You can pay in USD, EUR, or GBP. Yearly billing estimates traffic up front — confirm the live invoice if you go over the limit.

Limitations / costs

• Free history is 1 month and the badge stays on. Longer retention is the $20 slider.
• $20 is the 100k default, not a flat unlimited seat. Extra users are +$20/month; the sticker moves with the pageview slider.
• A Top Lists desk, not Plausible’s public-site dashboard. For that dashboard see Plausible.

Alternatives

• Plausible — privacy analytics when you want Plausible’s public $, not Simple Analytics’ google.com 10k list.
• Umami — analytics you can self-host when you want Umami, not $20 Cloud.
• PostHog — product analytics when you want PostHog’s public Cloud $, not a one-page Top Lists.

Official tutorial

We searched for a first-party YouTube before writing this line: @SimpleAnalytics resolves to Marcos D'Urbano (not Simple Analytics); @SimpleAnalyticsHQ / @simpleanalyticshq 404; simpleanalytics.com, /about, /blog, /media-kit, and docs.simpleanalytics.com HTML had no youtube.com links. Use the written docs plus the live demo dashboard.
