Best for EU-based teams that want a fully managed, cookieless analytics SaaS run alongside GA4 to recover consent-lost traffic, without any interest in self-hosting. Agencies and small businesses that want a no-maintenance, cookieless-compliant hosted analytics tool and are willing to pay a flat vendor subscription rather than self-host anything. Developers and teams who want either a free, fully self-hosted analytics stack they control end-to-end, or a low-cost managed alternative billed by event volume instead of pageviews. Website owners who want simple, privacy-first analytics without cookie banners. Sites that want free, cookie-less traffic and page-performance visibility without adopting a full analytics platform
