I am the person behind Kindmetrics.io - Which is pretty new but in open beta. It is open source and is GDPR compliant. The unique thing technically is that Kindmetrics is built in crystal.

Right now Kindmetrics use hashed ip-based session.

Shameless plug, I'm working on Chiffre.io. It's end-to-end encrypted to make sure not even I can see visitors data, only the site owner. It has free and paid plans, and is going to be open for a public beta soon.

Interesting concept. I'd be interested in how exactly that is technically achieved. I am not adding it, because it's not officially launched yet. Just ping me when it's done and I'll take another look.

When implemented as described that would actually combine the advantages of a cloud service with the advantages of self hosting, right? I imagine there are quite a lot of interesting technical aspects actually. I need to take another look when it's done :-)

Exactly, the idea is to have the ease of use of a SaaS service with the security that usually comes with self-hosting.

It's done by using public key cryptography: visitors encrypt their analytics data using the website public key, those encrypted events are sent to the server and passed to the website owner, which decrypts them and runs the analysis in the browser, so that the service never sees any clear text data.

Done!

To find out the script size I opened the given tracking script after registration ( -> cdn.splitbee.io/sb.js), pasted it in my Firefox and with inspect element I came to the conclusion that it is 8.12kb. You wrote 3.4kb, let me know if I am missing something.

I think 1000 free monthly users is quite reasonable actually but the pricing is quite steep if you want the basic features only I would say. But yeah of course you get also the A/B testing that is usually not included.

Would love to see my product hockeystack.com on this list! One of the smallest script sizes 😎, powerful and privacy-friendly

Nice summarizing it.

Only what is left, is how do I convert analytics to value.

Hey,

The way I understand you comment, it depends. It's actually already something to know if there are users on a website at all. So if you for example can know that there are regular users in some small website you once wrote and forgot about, there could be some value in knowing that.

Cheers
