Why We Exist

Most analytics tools are either:

Bloated and creepy

Most analytics tools are either bloated and creepy (hi Google)

Google Analytics tracks everything, slows down your site, and requires cookie banners that hurt conversion rates.

Or minimal but useless (hi SimpleAnalytics)

Enterprise tools are powerful but require dedicated data engineers and complex setup processes that small teams can't handle.
