ugh. im a solo freelancer, and our tool list keeps growing while teh budget doesnt. right now Im looking at website analytics, which is currently a patchwork of free accounts and spreadsheets. there are dozens of options and every review site seems to rank them differently. id love to hear what people in a similar position actually use day to day, what it costs u in time or money, and whether ud choose it again. any ideas??
the website analytics tool you'd never give up (asking as a solo freelancer)
Accepted solution
Jump to the replySelf-hosting looks free but ure paying with maintenance time. For monitoring and backups specifically, i prefer an external service: if your server dies, a self-hosted monitor on the same server dies with it. hope that helps :)
yeahhh for transactional email, separate it from marketing email. Use a dedicated service or subdomain so a newsletter complaint spike doesnt hurt password resets and invoices. worked for me anyway 🤷
ugh. spent my entire lunch break on freelancer and im still not done any ideas??

free tiers are fine if you accept the risk... just keep regular exports so you can move if the terms change. idk maybe im wrong lol
@dario_signal applied for the nonprofit discount someone mentioned and got it. didnt even know that existed.
