Cookie-free analytics built in Go, hosted in Germany.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one still earns its $6/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- A crowded field of privacy analytics tools. Google, January 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 $72/yr
- $6/mo at the entry paid tier — $72 a year per seat.

The backstory
Pirsch is the German entry in the privacy analytics category, priced per pageview rather than per site, which suits people running many small projects. In a market where everyone offers the same numbers, jurisdiction and pricing model are the actual differentiators.
