What is Seline Analytics?
Seline Analytics is a website and product analytics platform positioned as a simpler, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. It runs without cookies, collects no personal data, and is built for daily use rather than occasional report-checking. If you want to see where visitors come from, how they move through your site, and where they drop off — without cookie banners or a compliance review — Seline is designed for that job. It works standalone or alongside your existing stack.
What Seline does
Seline's toolkit covers the core questions most site owners actually ask, presented in a single dashboard rather than spread across nested reports.
- Real-time dashboard — total visits, views per visit, visit duration, and bounce rate, plus sources, countries, devices, and UTM parameters.
- Journeys — a per-visitor timeline of pages and events, so you can follow one person's path instead of only aggregate numbers.
- Funnels — step-by-step conversion tracking across a defined sequence.
- Custom events — you send events (and properties) to build out the picture beyond pageviews.
The dashboard example on the site shows the shape of it: a headline row of metrics (Total Visits 1,234, Views per Visit 2.45, Visit Duration 2m 5s, Bounce Rate 42%), then a sources list ranked by referrer (facebook.com, reddit.com, x.com, google.com, and so on).
How it differs from Google Analytics
The comparison Seline makes is not "more features" — it's "fewer, more usable features."
| Dimension | Seline | Google Analytics (as described) |
|---|---|---|
| Cookies | No cookies | Cookie-based |
| Personal data | Not collected | Collected |
| Compliance framing | GDPR & CCPA compliant, no cookie banners | Requires consent handling |
| Data location | Based and hosted in the EU | — |
| Reporting model | Real-time, all-in-one dashboard | Multiple dashboards to navigate |
| Setup | ~2kb HTML snippet | — |
The recurring theme in the site's customer quotes is not capability but attention: one founder says they had every site on Google Analytics but never looked at the reports, and now checks Seline several times a day because it's "very easy to digest." Another says the simplicity saves time and avoids compliance worries. Treat those as vendor-published testimonials, but they describe the intended trade-off accurately: you give up depth for the likelihood that you'll actually open the tool.
Setup and integration
Getting started is deliberately minimal. Per the site, "no setup required" means adding a whisper-thin (~2kb) HTML snippet to your website — that's the whole installation for the core analytics. From there:
- Add the snippet to your site to activate the real-time dashboard.
- Send custom events if you want journeys and funnels to reflect actions beyond pageviews (sign-ups, referrals, and similar).
- Identify users if you're running a SaaS product — Seline describes its product analytics as user-centric, in the spirit of Amplitude or Mixpanel but "actually digestible."
It also integrates with tools you already use, and can run alongside your current analytics rather than replacing it outright.
Who it fits
Seline suits you if:
- You want to check stats daily without navigating a complex reporting tree.
- Cookie banners and consent management are a burden you'd rather remove.
- You're in or serving the EU and prefer EU-based hosting.
- You run a SaaS and want per-user journeys without a heavyweight product analytics setup.
It's a weaker fit if you need the deep, custom-reporting surface area of a full analytics suite, or if you depend on cookie-based cross-site tracking for advertising attribution — that's precisely what Seline doesn't do.
Pricing and trying it
The site offers a free trial and a dedicated pricing page at seline.com/pricing. The available material doesn't state specific plan tiers or prices, so check that page directly for current terms before committing.
