In one paragraph
Plausible nailed the privacy story and the clean dashboard. Millimetric agrees on the privacy part — and then asks: what if you didn't need the dashboard at all? Same no-cookie posture, but the product is the API, not the UI.
Pick Plausible when…
- You want a beautiful, shareable public dashboard with zero effort.
- You prefer self-hosted open source for everything.
- Your stakeholders mostly want pageview counts and bounce rate.
Pick Millimetric when…
- You want to query analytics from code, an agent, or a Slack bot — not a browser tab.
- You need rich custom events with arbitrary JSON properties.
- You want attribution that splits Facebook social vs Facebook paid.
- Your AI agent needs MCP access to write and read events.

Our verdict
Plausible is a great pick if you want a polished dashboard you can share with non-technical teammates. Millimetric is a better pick if your teammates are LLMs, your dashboard is your CLI, and you want richer event payloads.
FAQ
- Is Millimetric open source like Plausible?
- The browser SDK, Node SDK, and classifier rule pack are MIT-licensed. The full backend is hosted; a self-host edition is on the roadmap for paying customers.
- Can I migrate from Plausible?
- Yes — your existing data-domain script tag becomes a Millimetric script tag in a single line. Historical exports import via a one-off CSV endpoint.
