Pirsch Analytics Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Using Analytics on My Website

  I was also looking for server-side analytics, created my own, and now it's a product! The idea is that tracking can be done from both, a JS snippet (for easy integration) and an API. Both rely on fingerprinting and almost provide the same set of features. The API just lacks screen resolution. The method is GDPR (and CCPA and whatnot) compliant.

• Site analytics for open source project?

  Take a look at Pirsch. You can find a demo with real data here. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?

  I'm building Pirsch Analytics [0], a privacy-friendly web analytics tool. I think it took the two of us ~1.5 years to get to $2000 MRR. Currently we're setting just above $4000 MRR. It started as an experiment for my personal website and I was in the same position as you're right now. We were already working on a Notion like app to take notes, but didn't make any money and probably went into the wrong direction.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I'm building a new SaaS tool: open source analytics for the web

  Not saying you shouldn’t or anything, but Plausible, Pirsch, and Umami are already privacy friendly open-source analytics. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Any alternatives to Google Analytics that don't require cookies?

  Pirsch has been easy and great IME. [0] https://pirsch.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What’s your startup’s analytics setup? (2023)

  If you use Google Analytics, you can get in a lot of trouble if you don't prompt the user with the cookie policy pop up. GDPR is a MF. I feel like it's bad UX to have that pop up, and I don't want to get in trouble, so I opt to use more bare-bones analytics and do a lot of custom logging myself. The tool I use specifically is https://pirsch.io/, which is very privacy friendly and doesn't have any of the stalky... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is there a free way to only show cookie notices for EU?

  I'd just like to mention Pirsch (pirsch.io) as another GDPR-compliant solution. It also has a WordPress plugin that works without JavaScript. Source: over 1 year ago

• We built a $1M ARR open source SaaS

  I also started a privacy-friendly analytics SaaS without looking at the market. Sometimes it's better to just get started. Otherwise you probably won't start doing anything, as there are existing products most of the time. In my case, I was looking for a Go (golang) solution that I could embed in my website, as a library so to speak, and just turned it into a product later as I was looking for a new project to... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• We don’t use a staging environment

  I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Good open source alternatives to Google Analytics?

  Https://pirsch.io/: ClickHouse. PD: I should have a blog or something where I put this predicts :). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Good open source alternatives to Google Analytics?

  Pirsch Analytics: https://pirsch.io Only the core is open-source though, so you won't get the dashboard. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Best alternatives to Google Analytics in 2021?

  Clearly Pirsch Analytics! https://pirsch.io/ No cookies, open-source core, GDPR compliant, nice UI, and a extensive API. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is everything changing too fast?

  I think this is mostly related to feature-creep and the feeling that developers should do something, even though the product might be "done" (considering that software never is quite finished). I'm working on a web analytics tool that helps "normal" folks to understand what's going on [0], and users are already starting to demand more than the tool was supposed to be. It's really tempting to keep changing... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)

  I'm working on privacy-friendly analytics [0] and also try to get into some consultancy work. Preferably in Golang. I have one project in the pipeline where I'm building a prototype for a very niche checkout like system, but for contracted work instead of projects. In the long run I would like to work on my projects exclusively. [0] https://pirsch.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I started SaaS companies in 2013 and 2021. Here's how things have changed

  Funny, because I've started a privacy-friendly analytics tool [0]. It really happened by "accident", as I initially tried to solve my own problem (analytics for my website without an ugly cookie-banner) and only later discovered there were many existing solutions. Now that I went all in on it, I think there is much more to it than just having competing products that look similar at a first glance. There are a lot... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• We built an open-source alternative to Google Analytics

  I would like to show you Pirsch Analytics, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics we have been building for almost a year now. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What privacy focused Google Analytics alternatives I can use

  You can take a look at Pirsch Analytics [0], which I am a co-founder of. We take privacy very seriously, that is why the core of Pirsch is open-source [1]. [0] https://pirsch.io/ [1] https://github.com/pirsch-analytics/pirsch. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• 58% of Hacker News, Reddit and tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics

  That's the main reason we promote the backend integration for Pirsch [0] so much. In the long run, JS will probably not be sufficient, depending on your target audience. [0] https://pirsch.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How did you establish and maintain relationships with your first users?

  We're an early stage startup [0] for web analytics and something that worked incredibly well so far is Discord. A lot of our customers/users have a Discord account and it's very easy to join a server and get into a (high quality) voice chat, or to use the chat. That's something I didn't expect to work so well. Appart from that, I like to ask questions in email replies and give customers the feeling to have... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Do you Self-host your database?

  We're hosting Postgres on HashiCorp Nomad and ClickHouse on a separate VM for Pirsch [0]. The Postgres db is only a few kb (maybe it's a few mb now, I haven't checked in a while), as it is only used for user accounts, settings, and some configuration. It doesn't do much so it's doing OK in the cluster using a host volume on one of the machines. ClickHouse uses more storage (don't know how much right now, but it... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• A list of privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternatives

  One that is missing from this list is Pirsch: https://pirsch.io/ There are just so many options out there. I gathered a similar list with a lot of overlap, but also includes info on self-hosting/source-available options: https://til.marcuse.info/webmaster/alt-analytics.html. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
