Piwik PRO is built for large organizations
Piwik PRO offers compliance tooling. Simple Analytics avoids much of the compliance overhead by using no cookies and collecting no personal data.
A bundle of multiple tools
Piwik PRO includes analytics, a tag manager, a consent manager, and a customer data platform. Most teams use a fraction of it.
Requires onboarding and configuration
Implementation can take weeks or longer. Scoping calls, internal alignment, and rollout work before you see your first number.
Built for teams with dedicated resources
Often used by organizations with analytics specialists, data engineers, and procurement teams to manage it.
Most teams only need simple website analytics
Pages, sources, devices, countries, events, and goals. An enterprise platform is overkill for that.
Why teams choose Simple Analytics over Piwik PRO
The same answers, without the enterprise overhead, the bundled tools, and the onboarding process.
A clear dashboard without clutter
The metrics most teams use, on one screen anyone can read. No enterprise onboarding required.
Set up in minutes, not weeks
Add one script tag and the dashboard fills up. No scoping calls, no implementation phase.
Transparent, self-serve pricing
Flat plans built for website analytics. No enterprise procurement, no contract negotiation.
Privacy compliance out of the box
No cookies, no personal data, no consent banner. Compliant the moment you install it.
No maintenance or infrastructure
We run the hosting, updates, and backups. Nothing for your team to manage or keep running.
Anyone on the team can use it
No training, no certification, no analytics specialist needed. Open it and read the numbers.
More software doesn’t mean more value
Most teams don’t use most of these features. Focused tools are faster to adopt and easier to keep using.
