What you give up either way
- EU-hosted, managed production infrastructure and operational SLAs
- SOC 2 level security/compliance and vendor procurement support
- Polished UI/UX and native apps (iOS/macOS, browser extensions)
- Brand recognition and enterprise trust (customers, demos, support)
- Large-scale reliability, bot-filtering, and anti-abuse systems
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Simple Analytics, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
