Summary

Editorial summary

Simple Analytics is a commercial privacy-analytics tool from the Netherlands. Its focus is a lean, EU-hosted tracking without cookies or personal identifiers (per vendor). Feature depth is intentionally lower than GA4 or Matomo – in exchange the setup is very fast.

Recommended for solo-founder, small-business, agency. Pricing tier: Low budget.
