As a website owner, I relied on web analytics to understand my audience, but the options out there left me frustrated. Free tools, like Google Analytics, seem convenient, but they come with a steep hidden cost: your users’ privacy. They often monetize user data by sharing it with third parties, forcing you to clutter your site with intrusive cookie banners to comply with regulations like GDPR. It’s a compromise that erodes user trust and complicates your setup.
Paid SaaS platforms, often marketed as privacy-first alternatives, solve some of these issues but introduce new frustrations. They don’t necessarily offer more features, just a higher price tag with recurring fees that scale with your traffic. The more your site grows, the more you pay, leaving you stuck in a cycle of endless payments with limited control over your data.
Self-hosted analytics seemed like a better path, but they brought their own challenges. Most options required complex setups, external database servers to pay for, and ongoing maintenance that felt overwhelming. I knew there had to be a better way to balance control, privacy, and simplicity.
I wanted a solution that gave me full control over my data without the headaches. I envisioned a web analytics tool that prioritized user privacy and data ownership, all while requiring minimal maintenance effort so I could focus on insights, not infrastructure.
I also craved deeper insights than static dashboards could offer. I wanted to ask questions in plain language and get answers instantly, going beyond predefined charts and metrics. And if I ever needed to use another tool, I wanted direct access to the database file —unrestricted and on my terms.
That’s why I created Infinity Metrics, a self-hosted analytics platform that solves these problems and delivers on my vision. Here’s what makes it different:
