Pirsch alternative with funnels in every plan

Pirsch and Datrika measure the same way: no cookies, no consent, data in Germany. They differ on the price list. Funnels sit on the Plus plan at Pirsch and in every paid plan here.

Datrika is a Czech web analytics tool that works without cookies. Goals, funnels, visitor journeys, shared links and team members are part of every paid plan, starting at €6 a month. Paid plans differ by event volume and nothing else.

What the same volume costs

Pirsch counts pageviews and custom events against the limit, which is how we count events, and adds 10 % of session extension requests on top. The two ladders compare directly, with nothing to convert.

Verified on 14 August 2026, billed monthly; paying yearly gets you 2 months free on Pirsch. We compare against Plus because funnels live there, while every paid Datrika plan has them. Standard is cheaper and covers the everyday questions.

Against Plus we are roughly three times cheaper. Against Standard the gap is smaller and worth saying out loud: $12 is a fair price, and at a million events, where Standard costs $54 against our €49, the difference all but disappears once you convert the currencies. What Standard does not include is funnels, segmentation and A/B testing.

Pirsch has no tier at 50,000 or at 2,000,000 events. Above ten thousand it jumps to a hundred thousand, and above a million straight to five million, so both of those rows pay for the next tier up. Below 10,000 pageviews a month Pirsch has a $6 tier; on our side that volume is covered by the free plan up to 5,000 events and by the €6 plan above it. We quote both currencies the way each of us bills: euros on our side, dollars on theirs.

What the Plus plan buys you

Datrika, any paid planAll of it included
  • Goals and custom events.
  • Funnels.
  • Individual visitor journeys.
  • Custom event properties.
  • Shared dashboard links.
  • 999 team members.
  • 999 sites.
  • Detailed data for 5 years.
Pirsch StandardFunnels and segmentation sit on Plus
  • Goals and custom events.
  • Session analysis.
  • URL shortener, REST API and SDKs.
  • 50 sites and unlimited data retention.

Plus adds funnels, segmentation, A/B testing, custom event metrics, ecommerce revenue tracking, teams, custom domains, custom themes and white labeling, and stops counting sites. So the moment you want to see where people drop out of the checkout, you pay more than twice as much.

On Datrika the only thing that changes between paid plans is how many events a month you measure. Sites, goals, funnels, shared links and team members are capped at 999 on all of them. That is an abuse ceiling rather than a marketing promise of no limits, and we raise it if you write to us.

A free plan that does not end after 30 days

Pirsch has no free plan. It offers a 30-day trial without a card, and then you decide.

Datrika is free up to 5,000 events a month with no time limit. A small site can stay on it for years. Goals, funnels, visitor journeys, shared links and team members belong to the paid plans.

We keep detailed data for 5 years on every plan, the free one included. On the free plan the reports let you pick the last 6 months and older data is only hidden. We do not delete it, and the whole history reappears once you move to a paid plan. Pirsch keeps data with no time limit, which is better.

How heavy the tracking script is

Datrika, da.js1.7 kB
Pirsch, pa.js3.6 kB
Google Analytics, gtag.js149 kB

Transfer size gzipped, measured on 14 August 2026. Uncompressed 3.8 kB against 12 kB. Ours is 1.8 kB smaller, which no visitor will notice. Both sit in a different class from Google Analytics, and that is the only difference anyone feels.

What Pirsch does better

  • Data kept indefinitely. We keep detailed data for 5 years.
  • History import. Pirsch imports stats from Google Analytics, Plausible and Fathom. We cannot import anything.
  • Public API and SDKs. You can pull the numbers into your own tools. We have no public API yet.
  • Open core. The Pirsch core is open source under AGPL v3 and you can run the proxy yourself, with the full service self-hosted on the Enterprise plan. We sell Datrika as a cloud service only.
  • Agency plumbing. Segmentation, A/B testing, the URL shortener, custom domains and white labeling. If you resell dashboards under your own brand, we do not have it.
  • Ready-made integrations. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Laravel, Astro, Google Tag Manager and more. With us you paste one line into the page.
  • More interface languages. Pirsch runs in 8 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. Datrika speaks Czech, English and Russian.

If you need a history import, a public API or white labeling for clients, Pirsch is the better choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is Datrika cheaper than Pirsch?

Clearly against Plus, by a smaller margin against Standard. For 100,000 monthly events you pay €9, Pirsch Standard costs $12 and Plus $27. For a million events you pay €49 against $54 and $159. Pirsch prices verified on 14 August 2026.

Which features are Plus-only on Pirsch?

Funnels, segmentation, A/B testing, custom event metrics, ecommerce revenue tracking, teams, custom domains and white labeling, plus the unlimited site count. On Datrika funnels, goals, visitor journeys, shared links and team members come with every paid plan, from €6 a month.

Can Datrika show individual visits?

Yes, and so can Pirsch. Session analysis is part of their lower Standard plan too. This is not a reason to pick between us.

Does Pirsch have a free plan?

No, it offers a 30-day trial without a card. Datrika is free up to 5,000 events a month with no time limit. Goals, funnels, visitor journeys, shared links and team members belong to the paid plans.

Does the limit count pageviews only?

Both of us count custom events as well. Pirsch adds 10 % of session extension requests on top. The volumes compare directly.

How do the two differ on privacy?

Barely at all. Neither tool uses cookies and both process data in Germany. Neither needs visitor consent or a cookie banner. Privacy is why you are choosing between us, not a reason to pick one of us.

How many sites can I measure?

999 on every paid plan. Pirsch Standard measures 50 sites and Plus has no cap. Pirsch does not limit members on either plan, but team accounts are a Plus feature.

How long do you keep the data?

5 years on every plan, including the free one. The free plan lets you pick the last 6 months in the reports, older data is hidden rather than deleted and comes back the moment you move to a paid plan. Pirsch keeps data with no time limit, which is better.

What happens if I go over the plan limit?

We warn you at 80 % of the limit. If you cross it, collection pauses until the next period or until you upgrade, and we do not bill you for the excess. Pirsch limits dashboard access to the day you hit the limit, keeps collecting for another 5 days and then stops.

Will you import my Pirsch data?

Not yet. We cannot import historical data. Export your stats from Pirsch to CSV and run both tools side by side for a month.

How heavy is the tracking script?

Datrika 1.7 kB gzipped and 3.8 kB uncompressed, Pirsch 3.6 kB gzipped and 12 kB uncompressed, measured on 14 August 2026. The gap is 1.8 kB, which no visitor will notice. For scale, gtag.js from Google Analytics is 149 kB gzipped.

Is Datrika open source?

No. We do not publish the code and we sell Datrika as a cloud service only. That is deliberate: we build analytics for people who do not want to run a server, so updates, backups and security are on us. The Pirsch core is open under AGPL v3 and the full service runs on your own hardware on their Enterprise plan.

Does Datrika have a public API?

Not yet. Pirsch has a REST API and SDKs on both paid plans. If you pull data into your own tools or build your own reports, that is a reason to stay with them.

Can I run Datrika and Pirsch at the same time?

Yes. They do not interfere with each other and neither needs visitor consent, so no cookie banner comes out of it.
