Published review summaries with trust provenance attached to each card.
Docs-backed Built from public docs and product materials.
Test-backed Backed by guided testing or evaluator-run checks.
Runtime-verified Verified from authenticated runtime evidence.
Privacy-first web analytics with no cookies and GDPR/CCPA compliance by design. Lightweight tracking script (<1KB). Aggregated anonymized stats without individual visitor tracking. Goals, events, funnels, and custom properties for behavioral insight. Self-hosted via Docker or managed on Plausible Cloud. Confidence is docs-derived.
Stats API: /api/v1/stats/aggregate for site-level metrics, /api/v1/stats/timeseries for time-bucketed data, /api/v1/stats/breakdown for dimension breakdowns; Events API: /api/event for custom event ingestion from server-side; CSV export; goals and funnel configuration via dashboard; custom properties on events for segmentation.
Stats API key per site (API Key in account settings) passed as Bearer token; site domain restriction per API key; self-hosted deployments control their own auth and access; no PII collected by the tracking script — no cookies, no persistent identifiers; IP anonymization by default.
Stats API returns JSON with metric values and pagination; /api/v1/stats/breakdown supports filters and multiple dimensions; Events API is fire-and-forget (200 OK on valid payload); rate limits per plan with structured 429 response; self-hosted has no external rate limits; data retention configurable on self-hosted.
Documentation covers script installation, goal and event configuration, Stats API reference, custom properties guide, self-hosting Docker Compose guide, and migration from Google Analytics. Active open-source community. Confidence is docs-derived.
