Saying it's a Google analytics alternative is quite far stretched.

It doesn't have any user journey but only entry and exit, no A/B testing, no heatmap for click and scrolls.

If it doesn't provide any actionable intels, you don't call that analytics but just a counter.

Check Countly's intro video on what analytics is. Though the base is open source, most of its analytics features are behind enterprise edition.

For an open source solution, you might want to look at PostHog instead. (But paid plans exist for some features.)



When I logged into Google Analytics, I really only wanted to see:

- # of visitors / sessions over time

- where those people were coming from

After that, most of GA's features were wasted on me. Plausible has the two things above, so for me it's a valid alternative.
