I gave many of these a visit.

fathom - Looks great. I am OK with closed source products (my motivation is self-hosting/privacy) but the direction is not clear to me. Maybe they will have a blog about it at some point - https://github.com/usefathom/fathom/issues/268. Having multiple code bases is going to be super hard.

goaccess.io - this analyses web logs

google-analytics-proxy - project is dead

matomo - this is what i use now and it works great. has a lot of quirks but if you spend some time, you can make it work.

ackee, goatcounter - simple but looks like this does not track users/sessions. it's mostly for page hits.

countly - looks good if you are enterprise. there is no pricing :(

freshlytics (from another thread) - page says it's in beta and not production ready

GoatCounter author here: doing some form of session tracking is on the roadmap; check back in a few months. The project is still quite new, with the first "real" release only being last week :-)

As for Fathom, I find that last "since that people are confused"-comment rather funny, since their messaging on this has been confused for almost a year, haha

Will do! I am already following your project :)
