Comparisons and alternatives
How Eurolytics compares to Plausible, Umami, and other options.
Common questions
How does Eurolytics compare to Plausible or Umami?
All three are privacy-first alternatives to Google Analytics. Plausible is the market leader and our inspiration. Umami is open-source and cheaper. Eurolytics uniquely offers AI crawler tracking, uses a more efficient backend architecture (SQLite WAL buffering, stateless design), and is deliberately lightweight in features, no complex funnels or goals unless you need them. Choose Eurolytics if you want AI insights and simplicity; choose Plausible if you need more advanced features and don't care about AI tracking.
Why is Eurolytics architecture different?
We believe privacy analytics should be simpler and faster. Competitors use Redis, complex queuing, and tight coupling between ingestion and dashboards. Eurolytics uses SQLite WAL for resilient buffering, stateless design, and event sourcing from ClickHouse. This means fewer dependencies, better independent scaling, and simpler operations. Trade-off: slightly fewer features out of the box, but that's intentional.
Can I use Eurolytics for affiliate or spammy sites?
No. We have a fair usage policy and reserve the right to suspend accounts engaged in malicious activity, spam, or click fraud. We ask that you use Eurolytics responsibly. We're building this platform for ethical publishers and creators.
