Globatics vs Plausible Analytics

Plausible is the reference for simple, privacy-first analytics: a tiny script, a clean one-page dashboard and an EU company behind it. Its realtime view shows counters and lists refreshed every 30 seconds. Funnels, journeys, revenue and the Stats API are on the Business plan, and the self-hosted edition leaves several of them out. Globatics keeps the cookieless model and adds a live layer and the deeper reports, with every feature in the self-hosted app.

Choose Plausible if

You want the smallest possible script: Plausible’s legacy script measured 1.28 KB gzip.
You prefer a managed EU-hosted service with a long track record and a large community.
One page of traffic stats is all you need.

Choose Globatics if

You want to watch visitors live, follow them and replay a launch, not refresh counters.
You want retention, identify, anomaly alerts, AI and MCP without upgrading a plan.
You self-host and want funnels, revenue and journeys included.

Switching from Plausible

The tracking model is the same idea (cookieless, daily salt), so your visitor counts should be close.
Custom events map one to one: plausible('signup') becomes globatics('event', 'signup').
Revenue goals become events with a revenue option, on every plan.
