    It's free and can be self-hosted so nobody else gets access to my data.

    Open source and much more privacy-friendly than Google Analytics. It still gives a lot of great functionality.

    PostHog is absolutely brilliant: can't recommend it enough! You can drill into any data point on any chart, and see the real users that make up the number. You can then drill into each user and watch screen recordings of them to better-understand where they failed to convert, etc. Thumbs up.
