Hi guys, I’ve been working on a self-hostable web analytics platform since the start of this year after being frustrated with Google Analytics and Plausible.

I’ve packed a bunch of cool web analytics features into Rybbit, but I’ve tried very hard to keep the interface simple to use,

Check it out!

      from what i know, awstats gets analytics from server-side logs while Rybbit uses a client side script. So not really and apples to apples comparison

      The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

      If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.
