Checked 11 November 2026. Every price below was read on the vendor’s own page that day and is quoted as printed. A vendor with no printed price says so; we did not fill the gap.

Our open score gives a tool up to 60 points from signals we can check: rupee pricing, GST invoice, UPI, data in India, a public price, a free plan and the number of alternatives. “Not recorded” means we have not found a vendor statement on that point, not that the answer is no. How the score is worked out.
| Tool | Open score | Prices in ₹ | GST invoice | UPI | Data in India |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matomo | 30 of 60 (known 5 of 8 signals) | No | Not recorded | Not recorded | Yes |
| Plausible | 20 of 60 (known 6 of 8 signals) | No | No | Not recorded | No |
Our AI Visibility Index asks assistants about 30 software categories each month. Privacy-first web analytics is not one of them yet, so there is no “who AI names” line for it on this page.
This page carries no deal or affiliate links. Nobody paid to be on it and the order of the tools is not a ranking.
Buyers now ask an assistant which web analytics tool to pick. If you sell one, see what it says about you: three buyer questions, about 15 seconds, no sign-up.
One actionable growth breakdown every morning, across 12 industries — with an audio version in English and 10 Indian languages. No fluff, just hard product teardowns and India benchmarks.
