Either way there are no data sampling limits, and it is designed to comply with GDPR and other privacy laws without cookie banners in many setups.

How it works

It covers the standard analytics set, visitors, pageviews, goals, funnels, heatmaps, session recordings, and ecommerce tracking, plus A/B testing and tag management as add-ons. Because it is open source, the code can be audited and extended, which appeals to privacy-conscious organizations and governments.

The self-hosted core is free under the GPL licence. Matomo Cloud starts at $26 per month for 50,000 hits, with a 21-day free trial, and rises with traffic. It is the strongest pick for teams that refuse to hand their visitor data to a third party.
