Simple Analytics was designed for analytics needs that are privacy-conscious, with only the essential insights and without cookies. The result is compliance with GDPR, among other data protection laws. It boasts an intuitive interface with clear metrics available to its users who want basic performance data on their website.
In fact, the minimalistic approach of the platform might just not work out for users with advanced analytics requirements—like multi-dimensional user segmentation or event tracking with complexity. It also provides only a somewhat limited feature set compared with more complete analytics solutions for the price, even at its generous entry-level pricing tier.
- Pros: Privacy-centric design removes the need for cookie consent banners. User-friendly interface for beginners.
- Cons: Only a limited feature set of advanced analytics compared to the more complete tools. May not be what users need when the analysis of detailed user behavior is required.
