Why look elsewhere

Google Analytics costs nothing, but it sends your visitors' data to Google and usually needs a cookie-consent banner.

What to compare

Self-hosted or hosted, cookie-free counting, and whether you need app events or just page views. Log analysers such as GoAccess and AWStats need no tracking script at all.
