Plausible is a simple, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. Buying it is self-service too. You can create an account, start a free trial and purchase a subscription online. This page brings together the information you need for your internal purchasing process.
Getting started
You can evaluate Plausible with a free trial. No credit card is required. When you’re ready to subscribe, choose a plan and complete payment through your account.
See our pricing for available plans. Our docs explain how to subscribe, payment methods and billing and how to view and save invoices.
How payment works
Subscriptions are paid by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay at checkout and renew automatically. Paddle automatically emails you an invoice after every payment. Paddle applies any sales tax or VAT. You can add your VAT number during checkout.
If your organization cannot purchase through checkout, you can add a reseller or procurement partner to your team with the Billing role, so they handle payment while you keep control of the team.
Who provides the service and who receives payment?
Plausible Analytics is developed and operated by Plausible Insights OÜ, a company registered in Estonia.
Subscriptions are sold through Paddle, our authorized reseller and merchant of record. Paddle handles the purchasing transaction, invoicing, payments and applicable sales taxes. Plausible provides the analytics service and product support.
