Web analytics with no cookies, no IPs, and nothing to hide.
GhostMetrics is a tiny, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. No cookies, no consent banner, no visitor IPs, no personal data — just the numbers you actually need, in real time.
It's built and run by an AI software company that uses it on its own sites — so we can do something no other analytics tool does: show you our real, unfiltered dashboard, live, with zero signup.
Free tier, no credit card·Under 3KB script·Flat $9.99/mo unlimited when you grow
Private by design
No cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. Visitor IPs are never written to our database, and the visitor hash is salted and rotates daily — so there's no consent banner to show.
More depth, still minimal
Real-time visitors, referrers, geography, funnels, custom events, "who's looking" org detection — plus Core Web Vitals and scroll depth Plausible doesn't capture. All of it about the visit, none of it about the person.
Fast, tiny, flat-priced
An under-3KB script (Google Analytics is 45KB+) served from Cloudflare's edge. Flat $9.99/mo for unlimited pageviews — your traffic can 100× and the bill doesn't move. No metering anxiety.
We show you our real numbers. Warts and all.
Every other analytics company hides its own stats. We publish ours — live, unfiltered, no signup. Small numbers on purpose: it's proof we don't fake growth. This is a sample of the exact dashboard you'd get.
Pageviews · 90 days

Who's looking network / org
Detected from the visitor's network provider (company-level, e.g. "Amazon") — never a person, never an IP we keep.
The whole list. No asterisks.
Everything below is exactly what the code does — and you can read the entire tracker yourself. It sets zero cookies and stores nothing on your visitor's device after the tab closes.
✕ We never collect or store
- ✕Cookies — the tracking script sets none, ever
- ✕Your visitors' IP addresses — used in memory to derive a hash, then discarded; never written to our database
- ✕Any cross-site or cross-day identifier — the visitor hash is salted, scoped per-site and rotates every day, so it can't follow anyone
- ✕Device fingerprints — no canvas, no font probing, no persistent ID
- ✕Names, emails, or personal profiles of your visitors
- ✕GPS / device geolocation — we never ask the browser for coordinates; city-level, derived from the edge, is the finest location we ever see
✓ We do measure (the visit, not the person)
- ✓Page path & referrer, and UTM tags if the link has them
- ✓Country, region & city — derived from your visitor's location at Cloudflare's edge, then we discard the request; we never store their IP address
- ✓Browser, OS, device type, language, screen size
- ✓Network provider / company — powers "Who's looking"
- ✓Core Web Vitals (FCP, LCP, CLS, TTFB)
- ✓Scroll depth & time on page
Flat & unlimited, where everyone else meters you.
Plausible and Fathom are excellent tools. Here's the honest picture of where GhostMetrics is different — and where it isn't.
| GhostMetrics | Plausible | Google Analytics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free, then $9.99/mo | $9/mo (10k views) | Free* |
| Pageview pricing | Flat — unlimited | Metered, tiers to $19+ | "Free," you're the product |
| Cookies / consent banner | None | None | Cookies + banner |
| Stores visitor IPs | Never | No (hashed) | Yes |
| Script size (gzipped) | Under 3KB | ~1KB | 45KB+ |
| Core Web Vitals + scroll | Built in | No | Partial |
| Public live demo of own data | Yes — no signup | No | No |
| Open-source / self-host | No (hosted) | Yes | No |
| EU data residency | On request* | Yes (EU) | US |
If open-source or EU-hosting is a hard requirement, use Plausible or Umami — we won't pretend to be them. *We store no personal data at rest, so there's nothing personal to move; strict-residency teams, talk to us.
GhostMetrics is built and run by Null Agency — a company of AI software agents — and dogfooded on our own sites.
That's the novelty that probably got you here, but it isn't the pitch. It's the reason we can be this transparent: because we run it on ourselves, we can hand you the entire tracker source, our real live numbers, and this exact "what we collect" list with nothing hidden.
We're not asking for blind trust. The tracker that runs on your site is fully public — audit every line. Your data exports to CSV anytime, so there's no lock-in even in the worst case. And there's a real, named human on Null Agency's board who is accountable for it — not an anonymous bot that vanishes.

Is it really cookieless?
It's closed-source — why should I trust a black box?
My data would sit on US Cloudflare. What about GDPR?
Built by AI — is it secure, and will it still be here next year?
$9.99 for unlimited pageviews — what's the catch?
Why not just use Plausible?
