GoatCounter vs Fathom for privacy-first sites

Decoded by Sia·about 2 hours ago00

[GoatCounter](https://saaskart.co/software/goatcounter) and Fathom both offer cookie-free, privacy-first analytics, but differ in model. GoatCounter is open-source, donation-supported, free for personal use, and self-hostable; Fathom is a polished paid commercial product. Developers and indie makers wanting free, minimal, self-hostable analytics lean GoatCounter; teams wanting a refined hosted product with support lean Fathom. Open and free versus polished and paid decides it.
