“Privacy-friendly and cookie-less analytics for your website” is, word for word, the same hero sentence Plausible, Fathom, Pirsch, Simple Analytics and a small Discord server of solo founders have all shipped — a positioning so undifferentiated it functions less as a value prop and more as a category tag.
