Piwik PRO
Enterprise-grade, privacy-focused analytics and customer data platform with GDPR compliance.
Overview
Piwik PRO is a proprietary, privacy-focused web analytics product positioned for compliance-conscious organizations. It is GDPR compliant, offers EU data residency, and supports cookieless tracking as an optional mode that can run without a consent banner. By default it uses cookies and requires consent. The platform is not open source and is not self-hostable on its standard plans.
The analytics suite covers the depth a marketing or product team expects: custom event tracking, goal and conversion tracking, funnels, ecommerce revenue tracking, heatmaps, and a real-time dashboard. It exposes a full API with raw session and event data via the Reporting API, plus email reports, public dashboard sharing, and an official WordPress plugin.
There is no free tier; the only no-cost option is a 30-day trial. The entry Business plan starts around $40.38/month (€35), covering up to 2M actions and 20 domains, with price scaling by domain count. Standard data retention is 25 months, and unlimited retention is not offered.
Best for
- Organizations with strict privacy and compliance needs: GDPR compliance, EU data residency, and a cookieless tracking mode that can run without a consent banner.
- Marketing and product teams wanting deep behavioral analysis: funnels, goal and conversion tracking, custom events, ecommerce revenue tracking, and heatmaps in one suite.
- Data teams that need programmatic access: a full API and raw session and event data export via the Reporting API at no extra cost.
- WordPress sites, via an official plugin, that also want real-time reporting and scheduled email reports.
Less ideal for
- Teams wanting open-source or self-hosted analytics: the product is proprietary, not open source, and not self-hostable on standard plans.
- Budget-sensitive or trial-only users: there is no free tier, just a 30-day trial, with paid plans starting around $40.38/month.
- Teams migrating off Google Analytics that need their history: there is no Google Analytics data import path.
- Use cases requiring long-term retention: data is kept 25 months and unlimited retention is not available.
