What our research says

Simple Analytics

The clearest reason to pick it is legal, not analytical: no cookies, no personal data, EU hosting, and therefore no consent banner to bolt onto your site. The AI assistant is a convenience layer on a deliberately shallow dataset, not a substitute for a real BI stack. Per-user pricing gets expensive fast for larger teams.

Pros

  • No cookies and no personal data collected, so no consent banner is required
  • Both an aggregated stats API and a raw export API are documented
  • EU-hosted infrastructure with a company registered in the Netherlands since 2018
  • 14-day trial needs no credit card and a free tier remains after it

Cons

  • Every additional user costs another EUR 20/month at the entry tier
  • The single-page dashboard is intentionally limited — no deep segmentation or cohort analysis
  • Prices are quoted in euros, so the dollar cost moves with the exchange rate

Sleek Analytics

Sleek Analytics covers the basics indie developers actually check daily: visitors, sources, and which traffic paid, at a price well under most analytics suites. The tradeoff is a trial instead of a free tier, and thinner reporting depth than an enterprise analytics platform.

Pros

  • Tracks Core Web Vitals alongside traffic and conversion data
  • Ties revenue to traffic source through direct Stripe and Polar integration
  • Entry plan is inexpensive relative to most analytics competitors

Cons

  • No permanent free tier, only a 14-day trial
  • The operating company's legal name and country are not disclosed on the site

Which one fits

Choose Simple Analytics if you need

  • EU sites that want to drop the cookie consent banner entirely
  • Small teams who want traffic numbers without configuring a reporting tool
  • Developers who need clean stats and export APIs

Choose Sleek Analytics if you need

  • Indie makers and small SaaS teams replacing Google Analytics
  • Sites that want revenue tied to traffic source via Stripe or Polar
