Last month we had around 2M page views
Quick price check:

• https://simpleanalytics.com/#signup 'contact us' but the lower tier is $59 / month
• https://matomo.org/pricing/ £259 / month
• https://plausible.io/#pricing £36 / month but that maxs out as 1M

These all look v expensive for the benefit we'd receive.
I want to know how many people visit zaproxy.org and which pages they view, but its not like we're a commercial product able to increase our revenue based on anything we find out.
If lots of people really hated GA then we could just drop it and not get this info, but I'm not seeing that from the feedback we've had so far.

I suppose those who care/hate :) are already using some means to prevent GA from loading, so very unlikely that they would bother to provide feedback.
