Plausible alternative · Plausible Analytics comparison
Ghaze vs Plausible. Both privacy-first. Different goals.
Plausible nails simple, beautiful page-view analytics. Ghaze adds the conversion, replay and ad-sync layer that small businesses actually need.
/ the honest take
Plausible Analytics is a real product. Here's the trade.
Plausible is one of our favourite tools. They built a beautiful, no-cookie page-view analytics product and stopped there on purpose. Ghaze is for businesses that need more than page views: forms, calls, sales, replays, ad-platform sync — without giving up the privacy posture Plausible champions.
When Plausible is the better pick
- If your site is content-only (a blog, a docs site) and you don't sell anything, Plausible's clean dashboards are hard to beat.
- If you want pure self-host, Plausible has a mature open-source build path. Ghaze is SaaS only.

/ ready to switch?
If you've outgrown 'how many page views did /blog get this week' and need to know which ad drove which sale, Ghaze adds that layer without breaking the privacy posture Plausible taught you to expect.
