Statfox — Self-Hosted Privacy-First Web Analytics
Self-hosted web analytics. Pay once, never pay Plausible again
Statfox is privacy-first web analytics you run yourself. Plausible charges $9–19/month forever, tiered by traffic ($228/yr on the Growth plan); Google Analytics is "free" but surveils your visitors and forces a cookie banner. Statfox is $49 once: a sub-2KB cookie-free snippet, one dashboard for unlimited sites and unlimited pageviews, and your data never leaving your server.
<2KB tracking snippet — one script tag, no cookies, GDPR-friendly, no consent banner needed
Unique visitors via a daily-rotating salted hash — raw IPs never touch the disk
Visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, and visit duration with previous-period comparison
Breakdowns: top pages, grouped referrers (Google, HN, Reddit, X), countries, devices, browsers, OS, and UTM source/medium/campaign
Realtime "who's on now" (last 5 minutes) and custom events via statfox('signup')
SPA navigation tracked automatically
Tokenized public share links — send clients a live dashboard, revoke anytime
