Overview

Pirsch is a privacy-friendly web analytics with no cookies, made and hosted in Germany. It handles cookie-free, gdpr-ready, server-side, and events, and it's best suited for privacy-focused teams wanting simple web analytics. It has been around since 2021, giving it a 5-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The free plan is free for 2.5k pageviews — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. Paid plans start at $4/mo, which unlocks the full feature set. It's designed for small teams, striking a balance between simplicity and collaboration features.

Strengths

  • Includes Cookie-Free as a core feature, purpose-built for analytics workflows
  • Includes GDPR-Ready as a core feature, purpose-built for analytics workflows
  • Free for 2.5K pageviews — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
  • Includes server-side alongside the core feature set — fewer separate tools needed

Weaknesses

  • Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
  • Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
  • Data accuracy depends on tracking setup — misconfigured events give misleading results
  • Limited team/admin features if your organization eventually scales up
