Plausible
Plausible is a free, open-source alternative to Google Analytics. Appex Technology deploys and customizes it on your own cloud account — you own the code, the data, and the infrastructure, with no per-seat fees and no vendor lock-in.
What it is and what it replaces
Lightweight, privacy-first web analytics you can host yourself — no cookie banners required.
Unlike Google Analytics, Plausible is open-source and completely free to license. There are no per-user fees that grow with your headcount, no subscription renewals, and no data stored on a vendor's servers. You get the same core capabilities — and, with Appex Technology's customization, a version tailored exactly to your workflows.

Plausible vs Google Analytics
Both solve the same core problem. The difference is who owns the data and who writes the monthly check.
