From the what to the why
Plausible tells you how much traffic you have; Anonymetrics shows you how it behaves, with heatmaps and recordings.
COMPARISON
Anonymetrics vs Plausible
All of Plausible's simplicity and privacy, plus the behaviour and operations it doesn't cover.
Plausible made lightweight, cookieless analytics popular. Anonymetrics keeps that approach but goes past audience metrics: it shows you where visitors click, replays their sessions and watches your uptime and your search performance.
