Both listed as alternatives to: Google Analytics
Switzerland· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist digistats when you want managed Swiss cookieless analytics with multi-site, events, API, and CSV on every listed tier and you accept SaaS-only operations. Skip when you need self-host/OSS, GA4-depth product analytics, or published ISO 27001/SOC 2—consider Plausible, Simple Analytics, Pirsch, or Matomo instead.
Austria· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist when you need managed server-side / first-party capture with EU-entity hosting and multi-destination activation (ads + analytics). Skip when you only want lightweight privacy analytics or free self-hosted tagging—consider Piwik PRO or etracker for EU analytics-first stacks, or Google sGTM if you will operate a Google-centric pipeline yourself.

Cookieless script without stored IPs or fingerprints
Vendor docs describe a sub-1 kB tag that measures traffic without cookies, without retaining visitor IPs (IP used only for live geo lookup), and without fingerprinting—aimed at sites that want analytics without a consent banner for non-essential cookies.
Realtime dashboard with geo, tech, events, and channels
Live visitor and pageview views plus city-level geography, browser/OS/device signals, custom conversion events, referrer/search/social acquisition, landing pages, and continuous site reachability (online status)—enough for content and marketing ops, not a full product-analytics suite.
Ad-blocker-resistant capture (vendor claim)
Marketing materials contrast digistats with Google Analytics being stripped by major blockers and state digistats is not blocked by common ad-block extensions. Useful for traffic completeness debates; treat as first-party claim until you validate on your stack.
Multi-site SaaS with API, email reports, and CSV on every tier
Published plans include unlimited websites and events, API access, email reports, Swiss data-center storage, and CSV export—even on the free low-traffic tier—so agencies can run multiple client properties without plan-gated feature cliffs.
Swiss entity and Swiss analytics data center
Operated by digistats Analytics Ltd. (Dättwil AG); privacy policy commits to storing customer data in Switzerland. Managed hosting only—no self-hosted edition in public materials.
Hybrid server-side tag management
One container for client- and server-side tags with first-party DNS; migrate data-layer logic and debug from browser hit to server dispatch without running your own sGTM fleet.
Twin Server capture and transforms
Server-side session mirror that can pseudonymize, anonymize, enrich, and time-frame parameters before forwarding—usable as a CNIL-style proxy pattern when configured carefully.
Essential Mode for non-consent traffic
Configurable minimized/anonymized capture when marketing consent is refused so sessions and conversions are not fully invisible—subject to DPO/legal sign-off per jurisdiction.
Synthetic Users for ad activation
Models trained on consented first-party data produce synthetic conversion signals for Google, Meta, TikTok, and other ad APIs; measure impact with holdouts—legal basis is configuration-specific.
Managed EU connectors and raw export
Vendor-maintained connectors across analytics, ads, and MarTech plus raw data export/API-style control; not a self-hosted open-source stack.
| Assurance & compliance | digistats Analytics | JENTIS |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found Vendor claims no IP storage and no fingerprints; no public third-party audit PDF found. | Not found No public independent no-logs or third-party security audit PDF located; ISO is the main public assurance claim. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found Not claimed on reviewed pages. Host partner ISO 14001 (environmental) is not an ISMS cert. | Vendor claimed Vendor states ISO 27001 / ISO 27001:2013 certification on site footer and privacy docs; certificate not independently verified in this draft. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found | Not found No public SOC 2/3 report found on marketing or privacy docs. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed Swiss entity; privacy policy cites DSG and GDPR/DSGVO, cookieless design, Swiss storage. Not legal advice. | Vendor claimed Austrian controller entity; product marketed as privacy-by-design processor with EU hosting, CMP hooks, and transform functions. Not legal advice—confirm config and DPA. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial Swiss Ltd, no known US parent, analytics residency claimed in Switzerland; billing via Stripe, Inc. (US) and Coinbase. EuropeanStack assessment — not a vendor certification. Not legal advice. | Partial EuropeanStack assessment: AT entity and no known US parent; product hosting claimed EU-only (e.g. IONOS). Residual exposure via customer-chosen US destinations and any non-EU instance option. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Partial Privacy policy describes Art. 28-style processing on behalf of customers; dedicated public DPA download not found — request signed DPA. | Vendor claimed Sample DPA via Customer Legal Hub; required for SaaS processing. Confirm signed version and subprocessor annex. |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Web analytics product; not positioned as an AI system product. | Not applicable Core product is tag/data capture; Synthetic Users is ML-assisted but product is not marketed as a general-purpose AI system. Revisit if Synthetic Users becomes a primary regulated AI offering. |
| Considerations & known limitations | digistats Analytics | JENTIS |
|---|---|---|
| No public independent security audit | Medium Cookieless and no-IP claims are first-party only. Security questionnaires that require audit reports will need vendor outreach or a different product. | Not listed |
| US-linked payment subprocessors | Medium AGB names Stripe, Inc. (San Francisco) for cards and Coinbase for crypto. Billing and account data may leave the pure Swiss analytics path even if telemetry stays in Switzerland. | Not listed |
| Hosting provider not named publicly | Low Switzerland data-center claim without a published host legal name or full subprocessor list complicates transfer and residual-risk assessments. | Not listed |
| No self-host or open-source path | Medium Cannot pin collector versions, run fully air-gapped, or satisfy hard self-host mandates. Operational dependency on digistats uptime and roadmap. | Not listed |
| Registration path may be restricted | Low At research time the login UI stated registrations were disabled and /developers redirected to login. Confirm trial and API access before scheduling migration. | Not listed |
| Consent modes need legal sign-off | Not listed | High Essential Mode and Synthetic Users can re-open measurement when users refuse cookies; legality depends on jurisdiction, configuration, and DPO assessment—not automatic compliance. |
| Downstream US ad/analytics tools | Not listed | Medium Even with EU capture, enabling Google/Meta/TikTok connectors can transfer personal data to US providers; use transforms/proxy patterns and transfer tools as required. |
| ISO claimed; limited public audits | Not listed | Medium ISO 27001 is vendor-asserted; no independent public security/no-logs audit found. Request certificate, pen-test summaries, and full subprocessor list under NDA if needed. |
| Managed SaaS, not self-host | Not listed | Medium No open-source self-host product path; ops simplicity trades for vendor dependency, sales-led pricing, and migration cost if you later leave. |
| Implementation and data-layer effort | Not listed | Low Migration from client-side tags still needs DNS, data layer, CMP mapping, and QA—vendor connectors reduce but do not eliminate engineering work. |
When: You need open-source and optional self-hosting with a large community
Consider: Plausible Analytics or Matomo
Plausible is cookieless SaaS + self-host; Matomo is the full self-host suite.
When: You want another lightweight EU cookieless SaaS without Swiss seat as a requirement
Consider: Simple Analytics or Pirsch Analytics
NL and DE peers in the same category band.
When: You need enterprise analytics, tag manager, and formal compliance packaging
Consider: Piwik PRO or Matomo Cloud
Heavier stacks with more modules and B2B assurance artifacts.
When: You are comparing global privacy-analytics brands rather than Swiss residency
Consider: Fathom Analytics
Different ownership and data-path story—verify residency independently.
When: You primarily need EU privacy-focused web analytics (and optional self-host), not multi-destination ad activation
Consider: Piwik PRO or etracker
JENTIS can still sit in front of Piwik PRO; choose the analytics product when capture is not the bottleneck.
When: You are Google-only and will operate server-side GTM yourself
Consider: Google Tag Manager (server-side) + GA4
Lower cash cost; higher ops burden and different transfer/jurisdiction posture.
When: You need a full customer data platform or enterprise analytics suite
Consider: Adobe Analytics or a dedicated CDP (e.g. Tealium)
JENTIS is capture/routing at the start of the chain, not a CDP replacement.
