Strengths

Sets no cookies by default and counts visitors with a hash of the IP address, User-Agent and a daily rotating salt, according to the documentation.
Funnels take up to 10 steps, each a pageview or a custom event, and the dashboard and user list can be filtered by who completed a funnel or step.
A dashboard can be made public with the Enable Public Access switch in the project settings, and individual user journeys stay hidden from public viewers.
The official WordPress plugin, configured under Settings > Vemetric, also loads the PHP SDK so you can send events from your own PHP code.
Proxy guides for Next.js, Vercel, Nginx and Cloudflare show how to serve the script and data through a subdomain of your own site.

Watch-outs

There is no official self-hosted version, and the vendor’s FAQ says a self-hostable Community Edition is still in the works.
The free plan keeps data for one month and covers two projects and two seats, with 2,500 events a month for the whole organization.
Collection continues past the event limit, but the vendor says you lose dashboard access if you exceed the limit multiple times.
Anonymous visitors are counted as new users again the next day, because the salt behind the visitor hash rotates daily.
Funnels have a fixed seven-day window for completing all steps, and the documentation describes a configurable window only as under consideration.

Who it suits

Vemetric is a hosted web and product analytics service from seriouscode GmbH in Austria. Next to the usual traffic reports, it records custom events, links earlier anonymous activity to signed-in users once you identify them, and shows each user’s journey. One project can cover several sites, such as a landing page and the web app behind it.

The event limit is shared by all projects in an organization. The free plan has two projects, two seats and one month of data, while Professional removes the project and seat limits and keeps data for five years. The vendor labels the current prices as early pricing.

The code is open source under AGPL-3.0, but there is no official self-hosted version yet.

Setup

Create a project, then paste the Vemetric snippet into the head of your pages with your project token in the data-token attribute; the token is in the project settings. Page views and outbound link clicks are recorded automatically, localhost traffic is ignored unless you allow it, and custom events can be sent with data-vmtrc attributes on HTML elements.

There are also a JavaScript SDK, a Google Tag Manager guide, SDKs for Astro and React, and backend SDKs for Node.js, PHP, Python and Go. On WordPress, install the Vemetric plugin from Plugins > Add Plugin and enter the token under Settings > Vemetric. There is no self-hosted installation yet.

Questions and answers

Does Vemetric use cookies?

No, not by default. The vendor says anonymous visitors are recognized with a hash that uses a daily rotating salt, and that cookies can be switched on as an opt-in once you have your users’ consent. Whether you need a banner depends on your setup and on the rules that apply to your site.

What happens if I exceed the Vemetric event limit?

Tracking continues. The limit covers all projects in your organization, and the vendor says you lose access to the dashboard if you exceed it multiple times, so upgrade in time. If the overage comes from a DDoS attack, the vendor asks you to get in touch and says it will not charge for those events.

Is there a free Vemetric plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 2,500 events a month, two projects, two seats and one month of data retention. Professional is sized by monthly events, has unlimited projects and seats and five years of retention, and can be billed monthly or yearly.

Can I self-host Vemetric?

Not yet. The code is open source under AGPL-3.0, but the vendor offers only the hosted service, with servers in the EU. Its FAQ says a self-hostable Community Edition is in the works, and the repository notes that it will cover web analytics and user journeys.
