DataFast vs Plausible Analytics

Which should you pick?

There is about two dollars between these and they answer different questions. Plausible is a Google Analytics replacement: how many people came, from where, on what. It is open source, so you can host it yourself for nothing, and that alone makes it the safer long-term choice. DataFast ties traffic to revenue and attributes it to specific posts and X links, which is the question most founders actually have and the one Plausible does not try to answer. Neither has a free plan: Plausible gives you thirty days, DataFast fourteen. One thing worth saying out loud, because you would be right to weigh it: DataFast is our editorial pick for analytics and it is also a tool we are paid on. Plausible pays us nothing, does the traffic half well, and you can read its source code.

We earn a commission on DataFast and nothing on Plausible Analytics. It changed nothing above. How we make money.
