GoatCounter is an open-source analytics project positioned as an alternative to Google Analytics, with 5.9k GitHub stars and a health score of 78/100. It committed 161 times in the last twelve months across 11 of those months, and its status is actively maintained. Licence: EUPL-1.2. It has real momentum, so treat it as a live competitor rather than a stale repository.

Non-standard or mixed licensing. Check the repository before commercial use.
This matters most when you plan to sell a hosted version. A permissive licence means anyone — including a competitor with more capital — can do the same, so your defensibility has to come from distribution, support or data, not from the code.
GoatCounter is shipping code consistently, so a buyer comparing your product will find a maintained free option. Price and position against the total cost of self-hosting it, not against the paid incumbent's list price.
Assume every prospect can find a free version in five minutes. Your wedge has to be something open source structurally cannot deliver: compliance, support SLAs, managed hosting at scale, or a workflow the maintainers refuse to build.
Actively maintained. GoatCounter recorded 161 commits over the last twelve months, with activity in 11 of those months and 19 commits in the last quarter. Last commit: 2026-08-14. Last release: 2025-12-15. Committed within the last 45 days.

GoatCounter targets the same job as Google Analytics and is actively shipping. Adoption sits at 5.9k stars. Whether it is a good replacement depends on your deployment constraints: self-hosting adds infrastructure, upgrade and security work that a commercial subscription absorbs for you.
38 open-source implementations, 18 of them actively maintained, led by Superset at 74k stars. Saturation score 63/100 — Crowded. Free, maintained alternatives already dominate this category.
