Should you switch?

Use it if

Teams that want privacy-first website analytics with a simpler dashboard than Google Analytics and the option to self-host later.

Skip it if

You need a free managed analytics service or expect premium features to be included in the self-hosted Community Edition.

Watch out

The self-hosted Community Edition is community-supported, ships on a slower long-term release cadence, and AGPL terms matter if you run it as a service.
