Ranked by feature parity + compliance score. Migration friction is weighted higher than feature breadth.
Estonian-incorporated privacy-first Google Analytics alternative, bootstrapped, hosted on Hetzner Falkenstein, open source.
Open-source web analytics (NZ-incorporated InnoCraft) with EU-hosted Matomo Cloud on AWS and full self-hosted option.
London-based open-source product analytics (PostHog, 2020, Y Combinator W20), US + EU Frankfurt cloud regions, MIT-licensed self-host.
For every product we read the public DPA, sub-processors document, hosting region declaration, and corporate ownership records. Each is timestamped. Compliance score is editorial, re-verified quarterly. We never accept self-attestation.
