About Fathom

Fathom Analytics is the other indie 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

Probably skip if

  • Product analytics — wrong category, look at PostHog or Mixpanel
  • Anyone needing real-time alerting beyond email digests
