Just as private. With the reports you actually need.
Simple Analytics is admirably strict — it never even touches the IP. But its report set is the thinnest of the privacy-first tools: no bounce rate, no entry or exit pages, no conversion value. analyticshq stays cookieless and aggregate-only, and gives you the full picture — on data you own.
Simple Analytics vs analyticshq
Point for point.
Where analyticshq goes further.
Just as private, with the reports you actually need
Simple Analytics keeps things minimal — no bounce rate, no entry or exit pages, no conversion value. analyticshq stays cookieless and aggregate-only, but gives you the full report set teams rely on.
You own the raw data
Simple Analytics is closed-source SaaS. analyticshq is self-hostable and Postgres-native, so the raw events live in a database you control and can query directly.
Credit where it is due
Simple Analytics never collects the IP at all and documents honoring Do Not Track — genuinely strong privacy choices. analyticshq matches the cookieless, no-personal-data posture and adds depth and ownership on top.
