Plausible

Plausible is a lightweight, privacy-focused web analytics service from Estonia that counts visits without cookies or personal data on a one-page dashboard, hosted or self-hosted.

Companies pick Plausible to avoid consent banners and personal-data processing, or because mainstream analytics suites are too heavy for them: independent software makers, small SaaS companies, developer agencies and European businesses with a strict privacy stance. Its presence signals a team that makes deliberate tooling choices, pays for simple subscription software and hosts on a modern developer platform.

Lists of 21,643 Plausible websites are bought by vendors who sell to privacy-conscious and developer-led companies: hosting and deployment platforms, transactional email and status-page services, privacy and compliance tooling, uptime and error monitoring, product-analytics and feedback tools positioned on data ownership, and agencies with a privacy-first offering. A site that just switched to Plausible has recently reviewed its tracking setup, a good moment for related compliance products; a site that dropped it has moved to another analytics tool.

Plausible is installed on 21,643 websites, which is 0.1% of all Analytics detections we record. Websites measured with Plausible are most often served from United States (5,747), Estonia (4,808) and Germany (2,891), and .com, .ee and .fr are the most common domain endings.

Questions about Plausible websites

How many websites use Plausible?

As of November 2, 2026, 21,643 websites load the Plausible script on their homepage. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web.

Who buys lists of websites using Plausible?

Vendors of analytics, A/B testing, consent and personalisation tools, agencies that sell conversion optimisation, and data products that plug into Plausible. A website that measures itself has a team that looks at numbers; one that just added Plausible is building that capability, one that dropped it has switched tools.

Where are Plausible websites hosted?

United States leads with 5,747 websites, followed by Estonia (4,808) and Germany (2,891). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.

How do I find websites that just added Plausible?

The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw Plausible for the first time in the last days, newest first; the Dropped tab lists the sites that removed it. Both download with a subscription and refresh every morning.

How do I get a list of websites using Plausible?

A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 21,643 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. See pricing.

How does BetaScan detect Plausible?

Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using Plausible when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.

How can you tell a website uses Plausible?

The page includes a small script loaded from plausible.io, or from the company's own domain when self-hosted or proxied, with a data-domain attribute naming the tracked site. Page views are sent to an /api/event endpoint, no analytics cookies are set, and sites that use the public dashboard feature link to a stats page on plausible.io.

Which businesses use Plausible?

Indie software products, SaaS startups, developer tools, agencies and consultancies, non-profits, public institutions and personal sites of technical people. Europe is strongly represented because the service is designed around GDPR without consent banners, but it is used worldwide. Large enterprises occasionally run it on individual products or documentation sites alongside their main analytics.

What can you sell to Plausible users?

Tools that match a privacy-first, developer-oriented stack: hosting and edge platforms, email delivery services, cookie-free marketing tools, consent and compliance software for the parts of the site that still need it, monitoring and status pages, documentation and support tools, and design or development services for small product teams. Pitches built on data ownership and simplicity land well.
