A Cloudflare Worker plus one Analytics Engine binding — the cheapest analytics service you can run this year.
▶Repo detailsthe review · specs · pros & cons
What it is
A tiny web analytics service purpose-built for Cloudflare Workers. Runs on Cloudflare's free tier (Workers + Analytics Engine, effectively zero dollars for small sites) and shows visits, pageviews, referrers, top pages, countries and browsers in a Remix dashboard.
What it is good for. GoAccess (Ed.8 #4) reads log files but cannot show a visitor journey. Counterscale is Umami's spiritual opposite: it runs on infrastructure you don't own (Cloudflare) instead of hardware you do. If Cloudflare already fronts the site for DNS or CDN, this is genuinely the fastest analytics answer of the year. If not, the question is whether adding Cloudflare in front of everything is worth it — then re-read the Umami repeat in Edition 5.
- Free on Cloudflare Workers' free tier — genuinely $0/month at small-site traffic
- Single Worker file; you can read and patch it in one afternoon
- Ships with a dashboard, not just a data collector
- Cloudflare-only — not portable to a self-hosted box, which is the ledger's home turf
- Ties analytics to a vendor whose terms and free tier can change
- Ben Vinegar (ex-Sentry) is essentially the one maintainer — good sign, not a large team
Google Analytics, and the cost of running your own analytics box
Nothing on your server — deliberately separate infrastructure, so an outage on one does not take the other
