Google Analytics is free because Google has built their company and their wealth by collecting and analyzing huge amounts of personal information from web users and using these personal and behavioral insights to sell advertisements. With Plausible, you 100% own and control all of your website data. This data is not being shared with or sold to any third-parties. Since we don't make money from targeted advertisement, we must charge a subscription fee. Revenue from subscriptions is used to pay our rent, further develop Plausible and allow us to commit to Plausible and open source full time. There's a more elaborate explanation given here: https://plausible.io/paid-analytics-vs-free-ga
