Visit Pirsch Analytics Alternatives

Pirsch is a cookieless web analytics product built by Emvi Software GmbH, a company based in Germany. The service is delivered as cloud SaaS hosted on servers in Germany, with an underlying tracking engine published as an AGPL-3.0 open-source Go library; the hosted dashboard itself is proprietary, and a genuinely self-hosted/on-premise deployment is offered only on the custom-quoted Enterprise plan. Pricing is usage-based on combined monthly page views and events, tiered further by number of websites (50 on the entry plan, unlimited above it). Unlike the more stripped-down tools in this category, Pirsch bundles funnels, A/B testing, session analysis, a built-in URL shortener, and webhook integrations. It requires no cookie-consent banner and states GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliance.
