Pulse vs Plausible

Same privacy.
Plus the money loop.

Plausible proved that analytics can be simple and respectful — we're fans. But if you spend money on ads, traffic numbers aren't the answer; cost per conversion is. Pulse keeps the cookieless, lightweight model and closes the loop from campaign to spend to revenue.
