On the other hand, Plausible is detailed as "*Simple and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics *". It is a lightweight and open-source website analytics tool. It doesn’t use cookies and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
Fathom Analytics and Plausible can be primarily classified as "General Analytics" tools.
