@cenk We have common history, but it's a different product (I was in fact one of the first contributors to Piwik back in 2007). Piwik PRO was founded as a services company that served users of Piwik (now Matomo). Over the years, we developed a proprietary platform from scratch that addressed a lot of issues (performance, flexibility, UX, reliability etc.) of Piwik and can migrate historical data from it to Piwik PRO. You can find more about the differences in here: https://piwik.pro/piwik-pro-vs-m...
Hey @zawadzinski, Philipp from https://creativerly.com here, huge congrats on launching Piwik PRO Core on Product Hunt! You created one of the most (if not the most) powerful privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. I am excited to see how you will shape the product over time.
All the best.
@philipptemmel_ Thank you! Give it a try :)
I'd love to connect regarding your newsletter and interview series!
Hello Product Hunters 👋
I’m Maciej, a founder of Piwik PRO and an online privacy rights advocate. Today, I’m really excited to share Piwik PRO Core with you, a free plan for privacy-compliant analytics with built-in consent management and EU-based hosting.
We started Piwik PRO to show that respect for privacy can go hand in hand with advanced analytics capabilities. Until now, though, Piwik PRO Analytics Suite was only available to paying customers. Now, we're thrilled to offer our platform to everyone.
📈 Power user of Google Analytics? You’ll feel at home with a familiar interface and all the advanced analytics features – multi-attribution models, user flows, funnels, custom reports, plus some extras like direct access to raw data.
💾 Coming from an open source tool or in-house solution? You’ll get powerful features on a fast platform right from the start – no need to buy extra add-ons or make them yourself.
🚀 Starting a new analytics project? Setup is quick and easy.
If you want all the details, the best way to get them is to set up an account for yourself. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and questions!
Best,
Maciej & Piwik PRO Team
would love to use it, just wondering, do you integrate with any api so I can share information back and forth with it?
@victormihaiu Thanks! Privacy is on the rise indeed. We started long before it was a popular topic, and it pays off now :)
As a CMO I am always glad to see more such products launching, great job guys!
Why Piwik when you know Matomo is the new version of Piwik ? I don’t get it :-)
@phb A couple ones that are worth to consider:
1. Speed (i.e. all reports & segmentation are calculated on the fly and gets you results instantly, while in Matomo you need to wait for "archiving" to run).
2 Flexibility (e.g. in creating custom reports, in reporting unique visitors across any data range etc.)
3. Matomo does not come with a free version that is SaaS - you need to install it on your server and maintain it which costs time and money.
4. (Subjective) Modern UI and better UX (Matomo's UI hasn't changed much in over 10+ years, while Piwik PRO's was designed more recently)
There are also others that are sector/country specific, e.g. compliance with EBA guidelines, or exemption from consent by CNIL(https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cookies-s... - there is no Matomo on the list).
I always recommend Piwik PRO for everyone who is not satisfied with the performance of Matomo Analytics!
@peppereddirt what exact error pops out? Any details regarding your current setup so we can reproduce?
@peppereddirt It may be caused by some ad blocking extensions blocking recaptcha. Can you whitelist the site and see if this persists?
