Plausible alternatives: compare privacy with the same traffic

For Plausible alternatives, install a candidate on a test site and compare collection rules as well as charts.

• Define a pageview, unique visitor, campaign, and goal before collecting data.
• Run a known set of visits across devices, timezones, and blocked scripts.
• Check whether the candidate adds cookies or identifiers and how consent is handled.
• Compare exports, access roles, retention, and hosting requirements.
• Explain differences in reported numbers using method and attribution, not guesswork.

Keep the original measurement during a parallel run. A more detailed dashboard may be a regression if it changes the privacy promise to visitors.
