Simple analytics. Built for the agent era.
Plausible paved the way by proving that founders prefer a simple, cookieless 1-page dashboard over GA4. Sift honors that philosophy while taking it into the modern era—running on edge infrastructure with first-class autonomy for your AI coding agents.
Full Agent Lifecycle vs Read-Only MCP
Sift gives AI agents full parity: they can authenticate via /auth.md, create sites, inject snippets into codebases, and query metrics autonomously.
Plausible has added read-only MCP plugins, but agents cannot autonomously provision accounts, register sites, or manage infrastructure.
Global Edge Ingestion
Ingestion is processed globally on Cloudflare Workers edge locations in sub-10ms, scaling automatically with traffic spikes.
Hosted on traditional centralized servers in Germany/EU, which can add transatlantic roundtrip latency for North American or Asian visitors.
Pricing & Accessibility
100% free during public beta with generous quotas for indie hackers and developers with multiple domains.
Paid subscription required after a 30-day trial, starting at $9/month and scaling up quickly with monthly pageview tiers.
Modern Developer UX
Purpose-built for modern stacks: seamless integration with Next.js App Router, Astro, and automated Git workflows.
Solid dashboard, but primarily geared towards manual human operation rather than autonomous agent environments.
