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.
