Alternatives
Products that do what My Book on Google Analytics Alternatives does
I've seen plenty of threads on HN about various alternatives to GA, but you can't try them all. So I tried 15 of the most popular, including: Matomo Cloud, Piwik Pro, Clicky, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Statcounter, Chartbeat, Fathom, Plausible Analytics, Visitor Analytics, Google Analytics 4, Mixpanel, Snowplow, Amplitude Analytics, Heap, and PostHog. Basically anything with >= .1% market penetration in the top 1M sites that had as self-service plan. There's no one-size-fits-all replacement for everyone, but there are a lot of good options if you're trying to get off of Google. Happy to…

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

It’s just the back end so it logs to MongoDB database so you can add any UI you want to it, feel free to contribute! (Suggestion’?)

If you're a developer, you've probably spent some time searching for the right analytics tool. We did it too. Most people default to Google Analytics, but it’s not always the perfect fit, especially if you're concerned about setup complexity, privacy, having a constant support (as a small team) or customization. Today we are presenting you Litlyx, an open-source alternative to Google Analytics designed to simplify your life as a developer. Is completely self hostable. We think Litlyx is the freshest analytics solution as 2024/2025 and beyond. Everybody can use it from marketers, product…

I've built a little prototype a long while back, to help me keep track of visitors on my website. I didn't like google analytics for obvious privacy reasons, and I didn't like the existing self-hosted options because of how complicated they are. I always wanted a simple, basic tool, similar to plausible, but even simpler. So a few weeks ago I rebuilt my prototype into a reusable tool. And I made it open source. I built a website, a documentation, and I'd be excited for someone else to try it too. Who knows, maybe if enough people like the idea, I might even make it into a SaaS to save…

I wanted to share something I've been working on recently: Statum, a handy web analytics tool. https://github.com/extractumio/statum The journey began when I found myself frequently needing simple web analytics for my projects. I tried Google Analytics, especially GA4, and realized it was quite complex and, at times, not very accurate, especially when I wanted to view stats for the current day or recent hours. Then I tested a few fancy startup solution but ended up with way too expensive plans the expect me to subscribe (I'm not that rich to pay $99/month for every…

To promote my startup, I made a free tool that compares your Google Analytics stats to the industry standard's stats that have been pulled from a whole bunch of sources. Let me know what you guys think! http://www.voodooalerts.com/is-my-site-broken

GA has some features I don't, and vice versa, which will come in time, hoping to get your feedback on the first round.

hey Everyone, I built FeedRebel [ http://www.feedrebel.com ] partly because I needed a feed reader myself but mainly because it ties in nicely with an idea that I've been working on. For those of you that are still on the fence when it comes to choosing a Google Reader alternative, I would love it if you could give FeedRebel a try and let me know your thoughts. I realize that there are quite a few options out there already with some big launches yet to come. I look forward to your comments and thoughts. Thank you

Hey HN! We are Patrick & Chris, bootstrapped co-founders of GA Insights (https://www.ga-insights.com) - a simple way of getting reports and alerts for your tools inside Slack and Teams. We started as a technical tool to monitor client accounts in Slack, interfacing with Microsoft Azure insights, and then pivoted to supporting business intelligence tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. The idea was born out of the angst that we had experienced using disparate tools to monitor our metrics, client & to share information. Google Analytics has an ever-evolving interface…

We've just launched our open source mobile application analytics platform Countly (http://count.ly) and its available to download from our home page. Countly uses MongoDB, Node.js and quite a lot of cool js libraries (backbone, underscore, jquery, flot etc.). We would really appreciate it if any iOS and/or Andoroid developers out there would like to try it out. Also we can provide a demo account for you to try it out if you send us an email indicating that you are from HN. Own your data, use Countly!

Hey makers! Recently I have had problems with Google Analytics because it is GDPR compliant and uses cookies. The alternatives I have found seem expensive, complicated and some don't offer everything I want, that's why I created MetricsWave.com. MetricsWave allows you to analyze your business traffic, but also to launch events, analyze user behavior and, why not, share some of these events directly on Telegram, so that the team knows, for example, when we have achieved a new sale. Beyond all that, it also allows you to log deploys and almost anything you can imagine. Plus: - Does not use…

When Google forced the switch from UA to GA4, I found myself struggling to understand my magazine's performance metrics (I occasionally edit a magazine along with my full-time job). So I built a dashboard that pulls GA4 data and presents it in a clean, intuitive interface focused on metrics that actually matter. It made the job of pulling reports and usage stats very simple for my website and greatly improved my daily productivity. At this stage, it was running on localhost on my machine and during this project, I ended up learning React (coming from a pure C/C++ world). I showed it to…

I've been building a bunch of random side projects, as I'm sure we all are. Most analytics tools were either too heavy or required juggling multiple free tiers across different subdomains. After looking what's out there I couldn't find a lightweight analytics platform that worked on the free tier of fly.io. It's a single Go binary using DuckDB for events and SQLite for metadata, so there are no external dependencies to manage. Drop a script tag on your site and it auto-captures pageviews and clicks. The part I'm most excited about: it uses an LLM to automatically name raw click events into…

Hello HN! Being a software engineer and an SEO guy I wrote a heap of tools and scripts to make my life easier. Now I've decided to share some of them with the community, and made a small site where I will be publishing them. They are all completely free (yes, free forever) and you don't even need to sign up for the site. Just use the thing as you like, no limits. Currently you can access 4 instruments: - Backlink retriever - Thin/weak content analyzer - Traffic trend analysis - Visitor list retriever I am planning on releasing more free tools with time, and trying to stay original by…

I was overspending on GPT-4o. It was really hard to compare different models I could switch to, so I built this LLM comparison tool. It shows leaderboards, pricing, and performance data across 100+ LLMs (including all major providers and open-source models). Key features: - Live pricing comparisons - Benchmark Scores (MMLU, HumanEval, GPQA, etc.) - Context length vs cost analysis - Speed/throughput tests across providers - Quality vs price visualizations - Open source (all data verifiable) Try it out: https://llmstats.com I'd like to know your opinion :) Tech stack: Next.js,…
