Is there any sort of user management, so each user have access to stats about its own website? We are building a WordPress hosting company and would love to offer this as an alternative to Google Analytics to all customers.

Right now, each customer gets its own Fathom install, but I would prefer to have it centralised to make management easier and decrease the amount of non-standard packages on the WordPress containers.

Have you considered Matomo? https://matomo.org/

We have, but as mentioned by the author of this post, Matomo is more like Google Analytics. We want something simpler, with bigger focus on privacy.

Depending on where you draw the line on "privacy", Matomo can also be hosted by you, if you don't mind the extra burden, and one installation can track multiple sites.

Edit: Not advocating in favour of Matomo, it's just that it is a solution which seems quite full featured. Personally I found it painful enough to work with it (from a devops perspective) that I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot stick.

We do have an instance of Matomo installed for testing, but it still feels like just a self-hosted version of Google Analytics.

Way too many features that a person with a blog won’t need. Something simpler like Fathom or this one, which was built with privacy in mind from the get-go — instead of just “I want to get away from Google” —, seems like a better solution.

To be clear, I am not saying Matomo is a bad piece of software. Just that it does not feet our needs.
