Statfox features
🪶 < 2KB tracking snippet
One deferred script tag. Cookie-free and GDPR-friendly — no consent banner needed.
🕵️ Uniques without cookies
Daily-rotating salted hash of IP + user agent. Raw IPs are never stored; yesterday's salt is deleted so hashes can't be linked across days.
🌐 Unlimited sites
Track every client site from one dashboard — no per-site pricing, no traffic tiers.
📊 The numbers that matter
Visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, visit duration — each compared to the previous period.
🧭 Full breakdowns
Top pages, grouped referrers (Google, HN, Reddit, X…), countries, devices, browsers, OS, and UTM source/medium/campaign.
⚡ Realtime + SPA-aware
Visitors in the last 5 minutes, live. pushState/replaceState navigation tracked automatically; custom events via statfox('signup').
🔗 Client-shareable dashboards
One toggle mints a tokenized read-only dashboard URL you can send to clients. Revoke any time.
🗄️ One process, one SQLite file
Node + better-sqlite3, configurable retention pruning. Runs happily on a $5 VPS.
$129 once — that's the whole pricing page
Plausible charges $9–19/mo — roughly $108 a year, every year. Statfox is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get Statfox inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/web-analytics-mvp, always. $129 buys the packaged version, 1-click setup and updates.
Is it really GDPR-friendly without a banner?
Yes — no cookies, no localStorage, no fingerprinting. Uniqueness is a daily-rotating salted hash computed in memory; raw IPs are never written to disk and old salts are deleted, so a visitor hash is meaningless after 24 hours.
Do I need a server?
For public sites, yes — the collect endpoint must be reachable from your visitors' browsers, so budget a $5 VPS. That still costs less per year than most Plausible tiers, and it can host half this suite at once.
