Is there a free alternative to Databuddy?
Yes. The code of all 3 is public under AGPL 3.0, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.
Which Databuddy alternatives can I host on my own server?
All 3: Plausible Analytics, Rybbit and OpenPanel. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.
Which ones are still being worked on?
All 3 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Plausible Analytics, Rybbit and OpenPanel. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.
What licences do they use?
AGPL 3.0 (3). GPL and AGPL ask you to share your changes under the same licence when you give the software to others, and AGPL also counts letting people use it over a network.
What do I lose by leaving Databuddy?
The hosting. Databuddy's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
