I recently launched Pleasant.io (http://pleasant.io/) for this exact problem. I wanted a simple, easy to use alternative to Google Analytics (and one that respected the privacy of me and my users). Please feel free to give it a try - any money you spend over the first 3 months is given to Watsi :-)

Great looking service.

I think your pricing is off though. I was about to sign up right before i saw the variable pricing. I'm not sure why but I'd much rather know exactly how much I'd be spending every month. Even if that means I'll be logically paying more over the long term.

Thanks, appreciate it. That's a very good point, I hadn't considered that. I'm going to have a think about changing it - thanks for bringing that up.

No problem man!

Let me know if you ever do, I'll definitely sign up to test it out. Email is in bio if you ever want more feedback - I really like what you're doing. :)

If it's not too complex I would recommend an AWS,EC2 model - let customers pay as you go or opt in to pre buy for predictable and possiblely reduced pricing.

That's the current model I'm using, thinking it'd be cheaper for most users. I'm not doing any pre-buying yet but was planning to, however now I'm considering a subscription model.
