The backstory
Swetrix is an open-source analytics service that adds funnels, error tracking and monitoring to a standard privacy dashboard. It competes in a crowded field where every rival is also cookieless and also cheap. AI-written insights from the free incumbents remove one more reason to pay a subscription. It holds on with self-hosting and the extra monitoring features rather than with analytics alone.
