YourTraffic vs Simple Analytics

YourTraffic and Simple Analytics share a look and a philosophy. A minimal dashboard, no cookies and no invasive tracking. The split comes down to whether you can own and extend the tool.

Open source and self-hosting

Simple Analytics is hosted and closed source, so you use it as a service. YourTraffic is open under the MIT license, so you can read the code, self-host it for free and keep your visitor data in your own Postgres database.

Pricing and limits

Simple Analytics prices by pageviews on a hosted plan. YourTraffic has no per-site limits and is free when self-hosted, with a cloud option if you prefer. You can run unlimited projects on one account.

Dashboard

Both keep it clean and readable. YourTraffic shows visitors, pageviews, top pages, sources and countries without clutter, the same at-a-glance feel Simple Analytics users expect.

API and agents

YourTraffic ships a documented REST API and a native MCP server. Your own tools can pull stats with a Bearer token, and an AI agent can read your traffic directly through OAuth. That opens up automation that a closed hosted tool cannot.

The bottom line

If you like the Simple Analytics style but want to own the stack and build on top of it, YourTraffic is the open equivalent. Add a site, drop one script tag and you are live.
