Using paid tools has no relation with having or not having your own datacenter.

If you have a small project (what is "small"?) you just deal with Google analytics or direct SQL requests to the single database you have. Don't need fancy tools.

The two free stuff I can think of are piwik and snowplowanalytics. They clearly suffer from "free open source" when compared to the paid tools out there.
