The Plausible alternative that explains your numbers.
Plausible proved that simple, cookieless analytics is enough. Snorklee starts there — and adds the analyst: one-click AI summaries, traffic from ChatGPT & co, documented compliance. Hosted in France, from €6/month.
The same cookieless foundation. And what changes.

Three things your numbers didn't do yet.
Snorklee AI
A clear summary of the period in one click, or a natural-language question — numbers-backed answer with a chart drawn from your real data, never invented.
AI presence
Which AI crawlers read your site, which pages they cite, how many visitors arrive from ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity — with a 0–100 visibility score.
Compliance ready to review
5 documented frameworks (EU/EEA, California, United States, Canada, Australia), DPA signable online, published retention periods, one-click export and erasure.
And when Plausible remains the right choice.
We prefer an honest comparison: if you want to self-host your analytics on your own servers, Plausible's open-source version is an excellent option, with a mature community. Snorklee is a managed service — a different choice: zero maintenance, AI included, and a French counterpart with a signed DPA.
