What is Plausible?
Plausible is an open-source web analytics tool built as the simple, privacy-first answer to Google Analytics. One lightweight script, one clean dashboard: visitors, sources, top pages, goals. No cookies, no personal data collection — which for most sites means no cookie banner and no GDPR headache at all.
The hosted version bills by pageviews, so a traffic spike — the best thing that can happen to your site — moves you into a bigger plan. Self-hosted Plausible has no pageview meter: track one site or twenty, count every visit, and the price stays the price of the server.
Normally self-hosting it means Docker, a Postgres database and an SSL certificate before you see a single chart. On livemy.app you pick the Plausible template, click deploy, and your analytics dashboard is live in about two minutes — with your traffic data stored on your own server, not in an ad-tech company's warehouse.
Same app, no meter running
These tools are free and open source. What you normally pay for is someone else's server — and their pricing page.
Three steps, about two minutes
