FAQ
Will I be charged when my trial expires?
No. After your trial expires, your plan downgrades automatically to the basic free version. Upgrade whenever you want to the plan that fits your needs.
What will happen to my charges when my traffic grows / declines?
You only pay for what you actually need. This means that if your plan’s page view limit is exceeded, you will be charged for overages. Simple Analytics automatically calculates your price based on your average amount of page views.
Is Simple Analytics GDPR compliant?
Simple Analytics is GDPR compliant and does not need consent. They believe that you don’t need to track website visitors or collect personal data. Still, always consult with a specialized attorney to make sure you are GDPR compliant.
