For Developers: Our Pricing Model Beats Everyone (Unlimited Sites)

You've got side projects, client sites, and experiments. Per-site pricing kills you. Here's why unlimited-site analytics is the developer's best friend.

March 3, 2025 4 min read Zero Trust Analytics Team

Let me guess your situation:

  • Your portfolio site
  • That SaaS you’re building on the side
  • The client site you’re maintaining
  • Three abandoned projects you might resurrect
  • A blog that gets sporadic traffic
  • Landing pages for experiments

That’s 7+ sites. At $9-19 per site (Plausible, Fathom, etc.), you’re looking at $63-133/month just for basic analytics.

Or you could pay $15/month. Total. For all of them.

The Developer’s Analytics Problem

We know developers because we are developers. And we know the analytics struggle:

The Side Project Tax

You build a thing. It might take off, it might not. But you need analytics to know if anyone cares.

Traditional pricing: “That’ll be $9/month per site.”

You have 5 side projects? That’s $45/month for projects that might generate $0. Most developers either:

  • Use Google Analytics (privacy nightmare)
  • Skip analytics entirely (fly blind)
  • Use janky self-hosted solutions (maintenance burden)

None of these are good options.

The Client Site Awkwardness

You build sites for clients. They need analytics. Options:

  1. Help them set up Google Analytics (now they have compliance problems)
  2. Bill them for per-site analytics (adds friction to projects)
  3. Absorb the cost yourself (eats your margin)
  4. Use your own analytics… wait, per-site pricing again

The Experiment Problem

You want to A/B test a landing page. Or try a new positioning. Or see if that domain you bought gets any organic traffic.

Traditional pricing makes every experiment cost $9-19/month. That kills experimentation.

Our Approach: Unlimited Sites

Zero Trust Analytics: $15/month for unlimited sites.

  • Portfolio site? Covered.
  • SaaS project? Covered.
  • Client sites? Covered.
  • Side projects? Covered.
  • Experiments? Covered.
  • That domain you might do something with someday? Covered.

Add as many sites as you want. The price doesn’t change.

The Math That Makes Sense

SitesPlausibleFathomZero Trust Analytics
1$9$15$15
3$27$45$15
5$45$75$15
10$90$150$15
20$180$300$15

At 2 sites, we’re competitive. At 3+, we’re cheaper. At 10+, it’s not even close.

What You Get

Simple Integration

One script tag. That’s it.

<script defer data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID" src="https://ztas.io/js/analytics.js"></script>

No npm packages to install. No build step integration. No configuration files. Works with any stack.

API Access

Every plan includes API access. Build custom dashboards, integrate with your tools, export data programmatically.

curl "https://ztas.io/api/stats?siteId=YOUR_SITE&period=7d" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Multiple Sites, One Dashboard

Toggle between sites with a click. Compare traffic across projects. See everything in one place.

We don’t use cookies. Your sites don’t need cookie consent banners. Better UX, less code, simpler maintenance.

Accurate Data

Ad blockers block Google Analytics. They generally don’t block us. You see more of your real traffic.

Perfect For:

Indie Hackers

Building in public? You need analytics for every project. Per-site pricing kills this. Unlimited sites lets you track everything.

Freelancers

Client sites need analytics. With unlimited sites, include it in every project. No awkward “analytics costs $X extra” conversations.

Agency Developers

Managing multiple client sites? One account. All sites. Simple billing you can factor into your rates.

Open Source Maintainers

Documentation sites, landing pages, demo apps. Track them all without budget stress.

The Serially Curious

You start lots of projects. Some work, most don’t. That’s the developer life. Analytics shouldn’t punish experimentation.

Self-Hosted? We Respect That.

Some developers prefer self-hosted analytics (Umami, Plausible self-hosted, etc.). We get it. You want control.

But consider the real cost:

  • Server: $5-20/month minimum
  • Setup time: Several hours
  • Maintenance: Updates, security patches, backups
  • Database: Storage costs, performance tuning
  • Debugging: When something breaks at 2am

If your time is worth anything, self-hosting costs more than $15/month.

We handle the infrastructure. You focus on building.

The Privacy Angle (Because Developers Care)

We’re not just cheap. We’re private.

  • No cookies - No consent banners on your sites
  • No IP storage - Hashed immediately, discarded
  • No tracking across sites - Each site is isolated
  • Open about what we collect - Full documentation

Your users get privacy. You get analytics. No ethical compromise.

Getting Started

# 1. Sign up (free trial, no card required)
# 2. Create a site in dashboard
# 3. Add to your site
<script defer data-site-id="site_xxx" src="https://ztas.io/js/analytics.js"></script>

That’s literally it. You’ll see data within seconds.

The Bottom Line

You’re a developer. You understand value propositions.

Google Analytics: Free, but privacy nightmare, compliance risk, complex, blocked by ad blockers

Per-site analytics: Privacy-friendly, but $$$$ when you have multiple projects

Zero Trust Analytics: Privacy-friendly, simple, $15/month regardless of how many sites

For developers with side projects, client work, and experiments, unlimited-site pricing is the obvious choice.
