Open source pay what you want analytics from Germany
GermanyEUOpen sourceFree plan Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Counter is an open source web analytics service from Germany. It deliberately stays at the simple end of the field: the numbers that show how a site is doing, presented in a straightforward way, without following individual visitors around.
The code is open and the project is run from Germany, which makes Counter a European alternative to Google Analytics for people who want statistics without a tracking apparatus behind them. Payment is left to the user, so it suits personal sites, small projects and anyone on a tight budget.
Counter uses a pay what you want model: you decide when and how much you want to pay for the service.

Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
