Uplitycs vs Plausible
Plausible is a clean paid analytics tool. Uplitycs adds a free plan, a flat $19 tier, and uptime.
Why Uplitycs instead of Plausible
Plausible proved that a small cookieless script can replace Google Analytics. It does not check whether the site is up, and the hosted product starts billing before you have sent a visit.
Uplitycs keeps that simple dashboard and adds the piece people buy second: uptime, alert email, and a public status page. Free checks one URL. Paid plans check three. You can run a real site on the free plan first.

What the bill actually does
Plausible’s published entry price is $9 a month, then the tier rises with pageviews. Public 2026 comparisons put the jump near 1 million pageviews well above a $19 plan.
Uplitycs Pro is $19 and includes 2 million events, 20 websites, and 10 teammates. Max is $39 for 10 million events. The uptime checks are in the price, not a second subscription.
Make the switch
Plausible’s script is in the same 1kb range. Free start, flat volume, and a status page are why a small team picks Uplitycs.
Paste the Uplitycs tag, open the site once, and the first visit verifies it. The demo is public if you want the charts before you create an account.
