Description
Every website now has to choose between having useful analytics and not annoying visitors with a cookie consent popup — most tools force that tradeoff because they track individuals across sessions. Vemetric skips the tradeoff entirely: it collects zero personal data and uses no cookies by default, so there's nothing to ask consent for, while still showing which pages people visit, where they came from, and how they move through a product.
Vemetric is an open-source (AGPLv3) combined web-and-product analytics platform offering top-pages/referrers/countries reporting, user-journey tracking, funnel conversion analysis, real-time event streams, and SDKs for HTML, JavaScript, React and Astro, hosted on EU-based servers for GDPR compliance. The free tier covers 2,500+ events/month across 2 projects; the $5/month Professional tier raises that to 10,000+ events/month with unlimited projects, unlimited seats, and 5 years of data retention.
💬 Our review
The short version: for a small SaaS or content site that wants real analytics without a cookie banner or a Google Analytics privacy headache, Vemetric's $5/month entry price and genuinely cookieless design make it one of the cheapest credible options in the category.
Against Plausible or Fathom (the established privacy-first leaders), Vemetric differentiates by combining web analytics and product analytics (funnels, user journeys) in one tool rather than making you pair a web-analytics tool with a separate product-analytics tool like Mixpanel — useful if you're a small team that doesn't want two subscriptions. Being open source under AGPLv3 also means the privacy claims are independently verifiable rather than just marketing copy. The tradeoffs are the usual ones for a young, single-founder-adjacent product: fewer integrations and less polish than Mixpanel or Amplitude at the high end, and the free tier's 1-month data retention is thin if you want year-over-year comparisons. Great pick for an indie SaaS or small team that wants combined web+product analytics without cookies and without a big bill; look elsewhere if you need deep enterprise-grade behavioral analytics with dozens of integrations.
