It is not, you pay $14 and you get basic analytics and this https://usefathom.com/news/anonymization that's worth the money for me.

What about user privacy? are you anonymizing the users?
Finally, yes, I'm planning to utilize a variety of shuffling and hashing techniques to anonymize users, data, and all other aspects. At the moment, I'm focusing on getting under 90ms on average globally (which I have achieved, just not implemented into the master branch yet)... which is over 4.5x faster than Fathom's average of 420ms globally. More coming soon! Fill out if interested: https://forms.gle/BZA7thD878PbKnSs8.
Your service, which I've seen is serverless, is actually pretty fast compared to other services and for that I have to admire your work. However, as I've done some response time testing on Postman (https://twitter.com/notsuryad/status/1199201916850278400?s=2...) I've found that my service is getting right next to Google Analytics' response times.
I'll release more details about how I've conducted this soon, but I hope the best for Fathom (I've used Fathom self hosted before but ran into some issues).
