Plausible alternative
A Plausible alternative that charges by site, not by pageview.
Plausible is good, simple, cookieless analytics, priced by how much traffic you get. ReplaStats is cookieless too, but it prices by how many sites you track and has no traffic limit. It adds session replays and heatmaps from $9 a month, and Pro puts every site on one board. Free for one site; ten sites for $19 a month.
Plausible keeps more history on its entry plan, and its data sits in Germany. The comparison below says where each one wins.

Before you switch
When Plausible is still the better choice
You want long history for $9
Plausible Starter keeps three years. ReplaStats Starter keeps one; three years needs Pro.
You want your data in Germany
Plausible is a European company and stores visitor data with Hetzner in Falkenstein, and says so in plain words.
You need its integrations
Revenue goals, the Stats API and the Looker Studio connector come with Plausible Business.
You have one quiet site
At 10,000 pageviews on one site, Plausible Starter and ReplaStats Starter both cost $9. The difference only shows as you add traffic or sites.
Moving across
From Plausible to ReplaStats in four steps
- Choose a plan and tell us the sites you want counted.
- Add the line of code beside Plausible’s, or upload the plugin on WordPress. The install page has the steps for each platform.
- Run both for a couple of weeks and compare. Both are cookieless, so the totals should land close, though not identical.
- Export what you want from Plausible, then remove its script. Plausible’s history doesn’t move across.
Questions people ask
Is ReplaStats cheaper than Plausible?
For one quiet site they cost the same, $9 a month, though ReplaStats also has a free plan. The gap grows with traffic and sites: ten sites with 500,000 pageviews a month cost $99 on Plausible Business and $19 on ReplaStats Pro.
Is ReplaStats cookieless like Plausible?
Yes. Neither sets cookies. ReplaStats stores nothing in the visitor’s browser and does not keep IP addresses.
Does ReplaStats have a WordPress plugin like Plausible’s?
Yes, and it is included with every paid plan. It puts the reports inside wp-admin, while the numbers live on our analytics server rather than in your WordPress database.
Can I move my Plausible history to ReplaStats?
No. ReplaStats starts counting on the day you add it. Export what you want to keep from Plausible before you remove its script.
