Two privacy-first, cookieless web analytics tools positioned as Google Analytics replacements — pick based on hosting model and feature depth.
Pick Plausible when you want an open-source product you can self-host and a slightly broader feature surface — goals, funnels, custom events out of the box. Pick Fathom when you want the simplest possible hosted experience, a long-standing focus on privacy and EU isolation, and you don't need a self-host escape hatch.
