At Plausible, many of us do 4-day workweeks whenever we want to – no questions asked.
This gives us more space for deep, meaningful work while keeping our work-life balance healthy.
We still make sure the product runs smoothly, support requests are always covered, and our subscribers can rely on us when they need help.
Beyond that, we trust each other to manage our time responsibly and focus on what truly matters.

Great news 🎉
Had our best month yet, with 2,237 new trials in April!
That’s a 28% jump in sign ups.
More proof that people want simple, privacy-first analytics that just work.
(And yes, we track our own conversions using Plausible too.)

We’ve been using Plausible Analytics internally from day one, and we’ve made our full dashboard publicly accessible – giving you the same level of access to our data as we have – https://plausible.io/plausible.io
This transparency allows us to quickly gather feedback, spot performance issues, and reveal unexpected ways that the product can be used!

Reminder: Data doesn't need to be complicated. Customers don't need to be tracked. Websites don't need bloated scripts to get insights. :D

Google Analytics is free but makes you pay with your users' privacy, data accuracy, product experience, website experience, and peace.
Plausible Analytics is 100% subscriber-funded, 5 years down the line. And that helps us successfully protect your privacy, data accuracy, and provide a way better experience.
We are a team of 10 and remain independent, bootstrapped, and debt-free. Completely focused on building something truly useful and sustainable. 💯

Having The Python Software Foundation as a Plausible subscriber is our latest flex. 🙌

New independent study on GA4's data accuracy: When consent banners are shown, GA4 fails to capture 55.6% of the traffic. Without banners, 15.8%.
In comparison, our cookie-less analytics capture much more traffic accurately––with or without banners!
