Pirsch is a privacy-friendly analytics service from Emvi Software GmbH, made and hosted in Germany. It starts at $6 per month for 10,000 monthly page views on the Standard plan, which already includes 50 websites, unlimited members, unlimited data retention, events, conversion goals, session analysis, a built-in URL shortener and the API. Plus starts at $12 and adds unlimited websites, funnels, A/B testing and segmentation, teams, custom domains and extensive white labeling. Pirsch recognizes visitors with a hash calculated from the IP address, User-Agent and other data points rather than cookies, and it supports server-side integration and webhooks for developers. Switching is easy because it imports Google Analytics, Plausible and Fathom data, and a Google Search Console plugin adds search data. The limits to watch are that custom events count toward the monthly page view cap and access is restricted when you reach it until you upgrade.
