Privacy-first analytics without cookies
Plausible answers what a Google Analytics dashboard takes four clicks to answer, on one page, without cookies or a consent banner. The script is a fraction of the size, which shows up in a page speed score. There are no user-level reports at all, so anybody who needs to follow one visitor around is in the wrong tool.
Our note
Not running a consent banner is a saving the price does not show. No cookies means no banner and no consent records to keep, and on a small site that is worth more than the gap between $9 a month and free analytics.
Landing pages built around the A/B test
Unbounce is a landing page builder whose reason to exist is what happens after the page is up: variants, traffic splitting and a record of which version won. Popups and sticky bars come with it. It is a conversion tool bought by people running paid traffic, and it is priced for them rather than for a first page.
Our note
Buy this when you are spending money on traffic and want to spend less. Landingi builds a comparable page for less, and Unbounce earns the difference back only if you are actually running the tests.
