Rybbit vs Google Analytics at a glance
Privacy: Rybbit is cookieless and avoids personal identifiers. GA relies on identifiers and is harder to deploy without consent in many regions.
Control: Rybbit is open source and can be self‑hosted. GA is closed SaaS with limited control.
Accuracy: Rybbit does not sample. GA’s free tier often samples in advanced reports.
Retention: Rybbit supports multi‑year retention. GA’s free tier retention is limited.
Performance: Rybbit’s script is lightweight. GA’s scripts are heavier and can slow pages.
Coverage: GA is commonly blocked by ad‑blockers; Rybbit is designed to reduce this loss.
Features: Rybbit includes session replay and user journeys out of the box; GA does not include native session replay.
The Bottom Line
Rybbit provides complete analytics functionality while respecting user privacy and giving businesses full control over their data. Plus, you’ll actually enjoy using it.
