I've been using plausible (https://plausible.io/) recently and I've been really happy with it. I've written about the move from GA to plausible, for my use-case, here: https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/replacing-ga-and-mailchimp...

I switched! Thank you.

Matomo https://matomo.org/

The only real free alternative to Google Analytics tbh.

https://goaccess.io/

It analyzes your log files instead of client-side tracking.

The best solution is to self-host your analytics platform, to avoid any data being stored by 3rd parties and it gives you the best chance to not use the next platform that will be blocked like Google Analytics.

If you want to try one, I am building https://userTrack.net, you can PM me on Twitter if you need a discount.

Zoho's Pagesense is great: https://www.zoho.com/pagesense/

Wow, that is expensive! $16 a month for analytics.

Of course, ~every GA alternative is going to be a paid service.

My meta-recommendation is actually to opt for zoho's "one" suite, which gives you basically everything they offer for $30/mo/full-time employee: https://www.zoho.com/one/pricing/
