Plausible vs Clicky

Plausible is a lightweight, privacy analytics tool. This means it uses no cookie to comply with GDPR but the downside is you have a limited 24hr window to track events and associates them with a user. The result is less accurate data. They have an easy-to-use single dashboard page with lots of built-in reports and filters.

Clicky has been around a long time and one look at the website and you can tell. It’s also now privacy first. The user interface is fairly unique compared to the other services but is still easy to use. Again the biggest turn off for some may be the look. I actually like it. Reminds me of the early web. But the tool still has lots of functionality built in.

• Advanced Filtering
• Very nice and fast User Interface
• Custom Properties, Funnels and Ecommerce Tracking

• Fast and Easy to Use
• Robust features and reports like heat mapping, uptime montoring
• Competitive pricing for the features you get

• Privacy First means less accurate data
• No ability to create custom reports
• May be too simple depending on your needs

• 90's / early 2000's User Interface
• Forums for support
• Not many updates or recent developments

I really like Plausible and it’s my favorite out of the Privacy First analytics tools like Fathom and Simple Analytics. The limit of a 24-hour lookback window is the biggest downside especially if you need accuracy of campaigns and how people are finding you.

Clicky is just OK, I feel there are better alternatives in the price range.
