I recently tested Simple Analytics, a privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. Here is my detailed review based on practical usage and research: Simple Analytics shines with its no-cookies tracking that fully complies with GDPR and CCPA, storing no personal data. I installed the lightweight script easily on my sites, and the clean dashboard loaded fast, showing page views, referrers, and devices without overwhelming metrics. The AI chat insights helped me quickly spot trends, like top traffic sources. Offline access is absent, but the web app works smoothly on any browser, with Export API for Team plans pulling data into tools like Google Sheets. Pricing starts free for small sites, scaling to $40/month with tiered features. Support responded fast via email. The only downside is limited advanced segmentation compared to enterprise tools. Still, for privacy-focused users, it's a breath of fresh air.
