Without hassle. For daily analysis it is really great and I do like it is very lightweight and fast. I use for it all my personal sites and recommend it to most of my customers. ----- ### "Reliable data with no need to worry about GDPR et.al." — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *17 March 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super simple straightforward analytics. The best thing we like about it is that we trust the data, not need to worry about cookie blockers or losing out on valuable data from people visiting from the EU. Also not complex setup to make sure it is GDPT etc... I works perfectly right out of the box > > **Cons**: It is not as intuitive as you would think and sometimes it is hard to recognize that you have certain properties selected with a view the different data points. The other thing it is super basic, so if you have looking for deeper dives this is not the software for you. > > Over all it has been a good one. Quickly look and see how your campaigns are performing and see the high level data that you care about super easy and quickly and great to know that you can trust it. ----- ### "Not real data , an bad invoicing policy" — 2.0/5 > **Nicu** | *1 February 2024* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity to install the code and easy to use the dashboard > > **Cons**: well the invoicing policy\! For more then 3 months i have my dashboard locked , because plausible.Io measured more the 10 000 page views per months for more then 2 months in the raw\! Now i will not argue the accuracy of the measurements in comparison with google analytics, because i believe that plausible is a good tool with accurate measurements\! The unfair part is that: Why have my dashboard blocked?\! I mean i paid 1 year in advance and that means the last 5 months as i cannot see the dashboard i have paid plausible for nothing?\! Why not just show the dashboard with the data of the first 10 000 page visits and the rest to be accessible when I upgrade the subscription??\! I hope i explained cleared enough my point of view , and why i don't find it fair and hope you will reconsider the company policy to offer customers a fair service\! Have a nice day ----- ### "leggerissimo e utile coesiste con Matomo" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: può essere usato contemporaneamente a Matomo per sopperire alla mancanza delle tracking delle query su motore di ricerca > > **Cons**: meno funzionalità rispetto a Matomo, quindi non lo può sostituire completamente. ----- ### "Extremely simple analytics for people with no time to waste" — 5.0/5 > **Makis** | *9 June 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Plausible's best feature is its simplicity. I tried using Google Analytics and the more privacy-focused Matomo in the past but gave up after a while due to how complicated I found the user experience. Plausible is very easy to setup \*and\* to use. The fact that you can see all your metrics in one page is a breath of fresh air. Plausible's focus on privacy was another key reason in my decision to try it and it's something I hope they maintain going forward. > > **Cons**: Plausible nearly covers all my needs. A couple of features that would make it even better, for me at least, would be: - The ability to remove my IP from the results - A "heatmap" that gives me a few more insights into how people interact with a given post of mine > > As someone who gave up on trying to use analytics tools, Plausible made it possible for me to get the right amount of insights from my users whilst spending less time than I would setting up other tools. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/464707/Plausible-Insights?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/464707/Plausible-Insights) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
