Frequently Asked Questions
Pulse is a privacy-first website analytics platform by Ciphera. It tracks pageviews, unique visitors, referrers, and geographic data without using cookies, fingerprinting, or collecting any personal data. It's a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics.
Yes, Pulse is free for personal websites. We plan to offer a paid Pro tier for teams and high-traffic sites in the future, but the free tier will always be available.
Pulse is not a drop-in replacement for Google Analytics — it's fundamentally different by design. It doesn't track individual users or sessions, so historical GA data can't be imported. However, you can run both side by side during a transition period.
The Pulse client — dashboard and tracking script — are open source and available on GitHub. You can inspect every line of code that runs on your site and verify our privacy claims.
Pulse shares the privacy-first philosophy with Plausible and Fathom, but it's built on Swiss infrastructure with Swiss data protection laws. The client — dashboard and tracking script — are open source, and Pulse is part of the Ciphera ecosystem, giving you a unified privacy-first stack.
