Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Burst Statistics – Simple WordPress Analytics (Google Analytics Alternative)
Yes. Burst Statistics is 100% free with no tracking limits. Burst Pro is optional for users who need advanced features like UTM tracking, revenue attribution, geographic data or client reporting. That's how we keep Burst Statistics free for most users.
All statistics are stored in your own WordPress database. Unlike Google Analytics or cloud-based tools, we have zero access to your data. Your data never leaves your server, unless you manually opt in to share anonymous usage insights with us. Read more about how Burst handles your data.
Yes. If you find GA4 too complex, or you're concerned about sending visitor data to Google, Burst is a clean replacement. You get the website traffic stats you actually need, visitors, referrers, top pages, conversions, without the overwhelm. Read our Google Analytics alternative guide for the full comparison.
Yes. Burst was built as a privacy-friendly GA4 alternative for site owners who want clarity instead of complexity. No Google account, no tag manager, no cookie banner in most cases. See why WordPress site owners are leaving Google Analytics behind.
Yes. MonsterInsights connects your WordPress site to Google Analytics, so your data still flows to Google. Burst keeps everything on your own server, with its own dashboard inside WordPress. If you want analytics that don't depend on Google, Burst is the simpler MonsterInsights alternative.
Burst focuses on clarity over quantity. While some other WordPress analytics plugins can feel cluttered, Burst's dashboard is designed to show you what matters without the noise. Independent Analytics is closest in spirit, with a shared privacy-first, WordPress-native approach. Burst differentiates with deeper UTM tracking, WooCommerce analytics and Agency-tier reporting. WP Statistics offers a wider feature set, but many users find it overwhelming. Koko Analytics is intentionally minimal, so it works well for very basic needs.
Matomo tries to be a full Google Analytics replacement. Burst tries to be the clearest, most actionable WordPress analytics tool. If you want simplicity, fast setup and a native WordPress experience, Burst is the better fit. If you need granular configuration and a full GA-style feature set, Matomo may suit you better.
No, you don't need an account, no data is sent to another website.
No. The only limiting factor is your own database and server.
There is an option to use cookieless tracking if you prefer. By default, Burst uses cookies because they're more accurate and lightweight. Even with cookies, Burst remains privacy-friendly because all data is anonymous and stored on your server. Read more about why cookies are misunderstood.
