Plausible Analytics reviews and in media
We don't do any paid ads, retargeting or any other surveillance based marketing. People who enjoy using Plausible sharing how they use it is the best way for us to spread the word and get more sites to consider removing privacy-intrusive analytics.
Independent research and notable coverage
The Average Level of GA4 Inaccuracy compared to Plausible — Andy Crestodina, Orbit Media
One of the few independent head-to-head accuracy studies by a researcher with no stake in either product. Crestodina tested GA4 against Plausible across a large dataset and found GA4 traffic data to be significantly less accurate. Worth reading if you're deciding whether switching tools means accepting lower data quality.

Ghost is one of the largest open source publishing platforms. Their recommendation reflects a choice they made for their own users, not a sponsored placement.
