PostDeploy as a Plausible alternative

Plausible answers one question: who visited. PostDeploy answers that and three more for $29 a month: is the site up, did a cron job fail, what broke. Plausible's entry plan covers one site. PostDeploy covers 10 projects. Get the whole answer. Switch to PostDeploy.

Pricing, tier by tier

Plausible starts at EUR 9 a month on monthly billing: 10,000 pageviews, one site, a 30-day trial and no free plan underneath. Growth is EUR 14 for three sites. Business is EUR 19 for ten.

PostDeploy is $29 a month: 500,000 analytics events a month across 10 projects, plus 100 uptime monitors, 200 cron jobs and 50,000 error events. The 14-day trial needs no card.

Ship three sites and Plausible moves you to Growth at EUR 14 a month, for visitor numbers alone. The same three fit in one $29 PostDeploy package that also checks each site answers, opens an incident when a scheduled job fails and groups what threw.

Per-site pricing meters the wrong unit

A project is a marketing page, an API, a worker and four scheduled jobs. Only one of those emits pageviews. PostDeploy counts per project, so the traffic graph, the uptime history and the error feed all describe the same thing.

Cookieless counting is the same on both sides: no cookies, no raw IP stored, no persistent visitor identifier, no banner. The difference is what sits beside the graph: the uptime check, the failed job and the error that explain a drop in traffic.

Move off Plausible

Each step happens once. Your agent recreates the checks through MCP, and the 14-day trial covers the move.

  1. 1 Swap the script tag: remove Plausible's snippet and add the PostDeploy analytics script per project.
  2. 2 Re-wire custom events per event name.
  3. 3 Point the rest of the project at the same login: uptime checks for the URLs and one curl line per scheduled job.

Questions

Is PostDeploy analytics cookieless like Plausible?

Yes. No cookies, no raw IP stored, no persistent visitor identifier. The visitor hash uses a salt that rotates daily and is not reversible across days.

How many analytics events does PostDeploy include?

500,000 a month, alongside 100 uptime monitors, 200 cron jobs and 50,000 error events.

How fast can I switch from Plausible?

Swap one script tag per project. PostDeploy counts from the moment the new script loads.
