What a plan costs us

Botensten Analytics runs on hardware and a network we already pay for. What grows with every member is card processing and backup storage, shown here at the worst case: every event used and kept for the whole history.

Questions

Do I need a cookie banner with Botensten Analytics?

No. The script sets no cookies and stores no personal data: a visitor is counted from an anonymous hash whose salt rotates every month (or day, or week, per website), so there is nothing to ask consent for.

What counts toward my allowance?

Pageviews plus custom events across all of your websites, per calendar month. Past the allowance, new events stop being recorded until the month resets; your sites keep working.

Can I move from Google Analytics, Plausible or Fathom?

Yes. Add the script beside your current one, compare for a few days, then remove the old one. Your Botensten history starts the day you install.

Is it open source?

Yes. Botensten Analytics is built on Umami (MIT license); the exact source of the running release is a download in the footer.
