Health score combines commit recency, twelve-month commit volume, months with activity, release recency and archive state. Metadata refreshed August 2026.
Copyleft (GPL, AGPL, MPL): derivative work must stay open. AGPL also covers software offered over a network, which blocks most closed SaaS wrappers.
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.
Plausible Analytics 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. Plausible Analytics recorded 596 commits over the last twelve months, with activity in 12 of those months and 109 commits in the last quarter. Last commit: 2026-08-13. Last release: 2026-05-15. Committed within the last 45 days.

Plausible Analytics targets the same job as Google Analytics, Web analytics and is actively shipping. Adoption sits at 29k 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.
