Some open source alternatives:

- https://ackee.electerious.com/ (Node.js based)

- https://github.com/zgoat/goatcounter (Golang) (Commercial Licensed)

- https://snowplowanalytics.com (Core-ware)

- https://count.ly (Core-ware)

https://www.visitor-analytics.io is also a great GDPR compliant alternative (Not open source).



> - https://github.com/zgoat/goatcounter (Golang) (Commercial Licensed)

Small correction: it's not really "commercial licensed", it's completely Open Source/Free Software according to the OSI definition and "four freedoms", and can be used for any purpose including commercial (EUPL license, roughly similar to the AGPL).

Only the hosted goatcounter.com SaaS operates on a "free for personal use, pay for commercial use" basis, but there is nothing stopping you from running your own instance for commercial purposes.

I think I need to clarify the README on this a little bit, as I had someone else ask the same question yesterday as well :-)


Shout-out to GoatCounter which was both free and easy for me to set up for my blog.


Another happy GoatCounter user here!


I plan to move to goat counter simply because of the awesome name. That and it's truly FOSS.

All the other competitors of GA are hobbyists whining about not making enough money. Get a real job and stop complaining about GA!

GA above works for Google and goat.


What is crippleware? Does it mean it doesn't work?


I changed it to the more friendly "core-ware", means you get the basics - the rest is licensed.
