  • Imports from Google Analytics, Plausible and Fathom

Cons

  • An unresolved overage stops collection after five days

Rankings and alternatives

Hosted web analytics scores

Evaluated Nov 11, 2026 Evidence ↓
  • Clear everyday reports · counts double 4

    4/5 means: A well-organized dashboard answers routine questions with useful filters and little training

    Pirsch keeps its main statistics on one page and lets readers click a page or dimension to filter all panels, then save that view. Session analysis and extra panels make it slightly busier than Fathom or Plausible while remaining approachable for clients.

  • Cost for normal website use · counts double 4

    4/5 means: Affordable managed reporting with a useful allowance for a typical small site

    Standard starts at $6/month for 10,000 pageviews and Plus at $12, with 50 sites and unlimited members on Standard. There is no permanent free plan, and custom events plus optional session keep-alive requests consume the same allowance; each keep-alive counts as one-tenth of a page view.

  • Marketing and conversion reports 3

    3/5 means: Goals, campaign and revenue reporting, plus some filtering or journey analysis

    Standard covers campaigns, custom events, goals, session summaries and saved filters. Plus adds funnels, segmentation and ecommerce revenue; that is useful breadth but less extensive than Matomo's specialist suite or Umami's broader retention/attribution reports.

  • Privacy and hosting 5

    5/5 means: Cookie-free without persistent personal identifiers, with visitor data stored in the EU

    Pirsch uses no cookies and discards IP addresses and User-Agent data after producing a site-specific salted visitor hash. Analytics data is stored on German-owned Hetzner infrastructure in Germany.

  • Sites and client reporting 5

    5/5 means: Many sites and users with strong multi-site, client and white-label workflows at an accessible price

    Standard includes 50 websites and unlimited members, automated email reports and private/public dashboards. Plus removes the site cap and adds teams, custom domains and extensive white labeling at an accessible self-serve price.

  • Migration and data access 4

    4/5 means: Historical imports and useful API/export options on self-serve plans

    Self-serve plans provide API access, CSV exports and imports from Google Analytics, Plausible and Fathom. The feature page specifically describes Google's older Universal Analytics import, so current GA4 migration should not be assumed to be as complete as Fathom or Plausible.

  • Fair usage and retention 3

    3/5 means: Collection survives ordinary spikes, but unresolved overages restrict access or retention is limited

    Retention is unlimited, but reaching the cap restricts the visible history and collection continues for only five further days unless the customer upgrades or the allowance resets. This requires closer traffic monitoring than the more forgiving paid services.

Pricing

  • Standard $6.00 /month Starts at 10,000 monthly pageviews; 50 websites and unlimited members
  • Plus $12.00 /month Starts at 10,000 monthly pageviews; unlimited websites, funnels, teams and white-labeling
