Vince is a self hosted alternative to Google Analytics.
- Automatic TLS native support for let's encrypt.
- Drop in replacement for plausible you can use existing plausible scripts and just point them to the vince instance (note that vince is lean and only covers features for a single entity self hosting, so it is not our goal to be feature parity with plausible).
- Outbounds links tracking
- File download tracking
- 404 page tracking
- Custom event tracking
- Time period comparison
- Public dashboards allow access to the dashoard to anyone(by default all dashboards are private).
- Unique shared access generate unique links to dahboards that can be password protected.
- Zero Dependency: Ships a single binary with everything in it. No runtime dependency.
- Easy to operate: One line commandline flags with env variables is all you need.
- Unlimited sites: There is no limit on how many sites you can manage.
- Unlimited events: scale according to availbale resources.
- Privacy friendly: No cookies and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
Vince ships a single executable without any dependencies.

Plausible Analytics : vince started as a Go port of plausible with a focus on self hosting.
My name is Geofrey Ernest, a senior software engineer based in Arusha, Tanzania.
vince is a result of 3 years of research on how to apply Compressed Roaring Bitmap Indexes on web analytics events to achieve storage efficiency and supreme query speeds.
I am currently looking for fulltime remote work, and I'm struggling because Remote now seems to mean Remote US and Remote EU and I'm stuck here in Tanzania. If you are a hiring manager please give me a shot, I promise you won't regret it.
