as opposed to plausible community edition which is even more limited and is only updated a couple times a year?

We have data migration plans in work but it doesn’t appear that a plausible migration is possible

Next.js, TailwindCSS, shadcn. the usual stuff

it’s “ribbit”

Everything is in the repo and cloud features are just toggled off in the self-hosted build.

I gotta say nice job on the website. Very tastefully done

Only very slightly so. One of the reasons I created Rybbit is because platforms like plausible and fathom have much inferior self-hosted versions (very limited featureset and basically never updated). We have a comparison here

it didn’t have enough features, especially since the community version is heavily nerfed (it’s missing even funnels)

Posthog makes it almost impossible to actually self-host since they try to push you onto the cloud as much as possible. They say that the self-hosted version only works well up until 100k events … which is insane since their cloud free tier is 1 million events. It’s actually the reason why I built Rybbit. I tried to self-host posthog on my server but it ran it up to 100% CPU on 8 cores and didn’t even work.

Ok posthog rant done.

The other main difference is that Posthog has like 10+ different products all in one. Their web analytics is good, but it’s just kind of bland (imo) because it’s not their main focus.

Yea, we use a client-side script like almost everyone else. The major difference is that we don’t use cookies so you can avoid a lot of the cookie banner/GDPR nonsense.

Rybbit definitely isn’t the first open source cookieless web analytics platform (Plausible and Umami are the two other big ones), but it’s probably the most “all-in-one” of all these alternatives.
