Plausible developer here.

We don't show the number sessions/visits at the moment. Most seem happy with the 'unique visitors' number and we don't want to add extra data to the UI unless it's truly useful.

Yeah I see that on my personal website. Most visitors won't come back later at the same day, so sessions and unique visitors is almost the same.

Gotta love it when analytics platforms don't give analysts access to all the data.

If you read the site, especially the comparison to Matomo, it makes clear that the emphasis is on ease of use, stripped down, clean UX, not the whole kitchen sink.

If you want that, I suppose GA or Matomo are for you? Has to be something to differentiate them, pointless to expect or want them all to be the same.
