NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Established privacy analytics tools own the niche. Google, July 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Umami.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
Databuddy is a recent entrant in the crowded privacy analytics field, pitching a lighter script and natural-language querying over your own traffic data. The category keeps attracting builders because Google Analytics is genuinely unpleasant and the switching cost is one script tag.
