About Fathom
Fathom Analytics is the other smaller privacy-first analytics shop alongside Plausible — bootstrapped by Jack Ellis and Paul Jarvis, started in 2018, profitable since shortly after. The product is positioned almost identically to Plausible: simple dashboard, no cookies, no banner, GDPR-compliant by default. The main differentiators are the email-report cadence (very good), the multi-site bundle pricing (better for agencies running many properties), and a Canadian/Florida hosting story rather than EU-first.
✓Best for
- Agencies and freelancers tracking many client sites under one bill
- Solo founders who want the simplest possible analytics experience
- Teams that prefer a CA/US hosted privacy-first option to an EU-hosted one
