Needs review

Cookieless traffic dashboard
Pageviews, unique-visitor estimates, referrers, UTM campaigns, device or browser splits, and country-level geo from a single script tag, without cookies or fingerprinting according to Ciphera's privacy docs.
Journeys and conversion funnels
Step-by-step path columns and multi-step funnels with drop-off analysis, filterable by page, country, device, or referrer for privacy-preserving conversion debugging.
Uptime monitors with alert routes
Built-in uptime checks with downtime and recovery alerts to email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook, so availability sits beside traffic in one console.
Daily Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals
Scheduled mobile and desktop Lighthouse runs with performance, accessibility, best-practices, SEO scores, and Core Web Vitals trends without a separate RUM product.
Inspectable AGPL client and read API
Dashboard and tracking script are AGPL-3.0 on GitHub; Ciphera also documents a public read API, CLI, and export paths while keeping the managed backend closed.
Privacidad por diseño, sin cookies ni PII
Simple Analytics no recopila datos personales. Usa referentes para contar visitantes únicos sin IPs ni huellas digitales. Sin consentimiento necesario, sin banners requeridos. Los datos se procesan del lado del servidor para agregación. Esta configuración supera revisiones estrictas de organismos como la CNIL de Francia. Los servidores cifran datos en reposo y en tránsito, alojados únicamente en los Países Bajos. Los usuarios evitan multas y ganan señales de confianza para visitantes.
Panel limpio con métricas esenciales
La interfaz muestra estadísticas principales: vistas, visitantes, referentes, geografía, dispositivos, navegadores, SO, pantallas. Vea tendencias, segmente por UTM, filtre resultados. Modos claro/oscuro y app iOS proporcionan acceso en cualquier lugar. Bloquee visitas propias o rangos de IP. La retención varía por plan: 30 días gratis, hasta 5 años en Team. Intuitivo para insights rápidos, sin curva de aprendizaje pronunciada.
Insights IA, eventos e integraciones
Consulte datos vía chat IA: «¿Cómo cambió el tráfico la semana pasada?» Rastree eventos automáticamente — clics, descargas, formularios. Configure objetivos y embudos. Importe datos de Google Analytics. Exporte a herramientas BI, Looker Studio o API para archivos en bruto/agregados. Los informes por correo se programan automáticamente. Resistente a bloqueadores de anuncios para conteos precisos. Script ligero impulsa velocidad. Plugins para WordPress, GTM, frameworks.
Herramientas avanzadas para equipos y escala
El plan Team añade vistas personalizadas, acceso basado en roles, exportaciones API. Enterprise ofrece escalado ilimitado, almacenamiento dedicado, SLAs. Bypass de bloqueadores de anuncios, bloqueo de referentes spam. Widgets iOS para picos en tiempo real. Hoja de ruta abierta permite votar funciones. Operaciones transparentes comparten ingresos y costes públicamente.
| Assurance & compliance | Pulse by Ciphera | Simple Analytics |

| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial EU (Belgian) entity with no known US parent; primary hosts are European (Exoscale, Infomaniak, Bunny, Mollie). Residual paths: GitHub (US) for source code only; Bunny global edge for transient IPs. Indicative only, not legal advice. | No indicado |

| Considerations & known limitations | Pulse by Ciphera | Simple Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Managed backend is not open source | Medium You can audit the browser script and dashboard code, but not the operated ingestion and storage service. Procurement that requires full-stack self-host or full server auditability should look elsewhere. | No indicado |
| No ISO/SOC or independent audit yet | Medium Ciphera publishes threat models, a warrant canary, and a subprocessor list, but explicitly has no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 and no completed independent audit. Enterprise security reviews will need questionnaires and a signed DPA. | No indicado |
| Primary data residency is Switzerland, not EU/EEA | Low Swiss adequacy covers many GDPR transfer questions, but policies that hard-require EU/EEA datacenter soil will classify this as partial rather than EU-hosted. | No indicado |
| Marketing vs privacy wording conflicts | Low Product FAQ pages disagree on whether custom events ship today and whether a DPA is needed. Prefer privacy@ and the privacy policy for legal commitments until Ciphera aligns the FAQs. | No indicado |
When: You need a mature EU cookieless analytics product with an official full-stack self-host option
Consider: Plausible Analytics
Plausible (Estonia) is the common self-host plus SaaS peer; Pulse keeps the backend managed-only.
When: You want a minimal Dutch cookieless counter without uptime or Lighthouse bundles
Consider: Simple Analytics
Closer peer for strictly analytics SaaS; Pulse differentiates with ops-style panels.
When: You need enterprise analytics with strong EU residency controls and heavier compliance packaging
Consider: Piwik PRO or Friendly Analytics
Heavier Matomo-class or Swiss-hosted peers when Pulse's startup assurance set is too thin.
