We cannot confirm that today. The page we cite for GoatCounter states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-11-02. Our stored record calls GoatCounter's free tier "Free". GoatCounter is an open source web analytics platform. It is available as a free donation-supported hosted service or as a self-hosted app. We have not confirmed these terms against the source we cite, so treat them as unverified. GoatCounter.com is free for reasonable public usage; personal sites and small-to-medium businesses are fine, but millions of pageviews per day are not. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/terms, read 2026-10-18.) GoatCounter.com accounts must be registered by a human; automated registration is not allowed. Automated processes may use an account after a human has registered it. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/terms, read 2026-11-06.) GoatCounter does not store visitors' IP addresses, full User-Agent headers or tracker IDs, and stores nothing in their browsers (no cookies or localStorage). GoatCounter states a GDPR consent notice is probably not required, and says this is not legal advice. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/privacy, read 2026-11-06.) GoatCounter.com may change its terms with at least two weeks' notice, sent to the account's email address. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/terms, read 2026-11-06.) For a site sending millions of pageviews, GoatCounter.com says it would rather contact the owner to discuss options than shut down the account. Self-hosting is the option for heavier use. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/faq, read 2026-11-06.) The GoatCounter API is accessed with a key created in the account and can manage sites and users and export data. Its rate limit is 4 requests per second. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/api, read 2026-11-06.)

Deleting a GoatCounter.com account (Settings, Delete Account) permanently deletes all its data; some may remain in backups for up to 30 days. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/privacy, read 2026-11-06.) GoatCounter states most ad blockers block goatcounter.com and estimates that about a third of pageviews are missed because of them. A custom domain does not prevent this. The workarounds are self-hosting or importing pageviews from web server logfiles. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/faq, read 2026-11-06.) Each domain needs its own GoatCounter site; the sites share the same user and login. (From https://www.goatcounter.com/help/domains, read 2026-11-06.)
