They should be able to afford a free plan

Plausible analytics makes $1M a year. And they’re a team of 4 people. That means, even with massive expenses, they each make >$200k a year. 😳

no, that's actually not a lot of money.. they have to pay employees, servers etc. plus a free plan means their expenses would be higher, without actually getting any more money.

They make $1M in revenue annually (they said so) and they have 4 employees so, unless they spend like $900k a year, each of the employees is very well paid

fair enough. but their costs will definitely be much higher with a free plan. plus they offer a self hostable solution so theres really no reason for them to host it for free for people who don’t want to pay

I can’t self host (no server) :sadness:

also i don’t see how they make $1m a year if it’s open source and self hostable, unless people are just lazy

I'd switch my site from GA to Plausible in an instant if they had a free plan.

You can never assume what happens in the background.
