In their own words
Aptabase
Aptabase is an open-source analytics platform for mobile, desktop, and web apps. Developers choose events and send them through an SDK track function; the dashboard presents sessions, events, app and OS versions, devices, and countries in real time. It also includes live session viewing, a live geo view, session timelines, custom event properties, dark mode, and CSV export. Aptabase describes its sessions as anonymous and says it does not use device identifiers, cookies, fingerprints, or long-term user identification. This means it cannot report user-level measures such as Monthly Active Users, per-user retention, or funnels tied to individuals. The free plan costs nothing for up to 20,000 events per month and unlimited apps. Paid monthly plans start at $10 a month for 200,000 events. Cloud users can choose EU storage in Germany or US storage in Virginia, with data processed and stored in its selected region. Analytics data is retained for up to five years. Aptabase can also be self-hosted for free, with maintenance and updates the operator's responsibility.
