Voris vs Simple Analytics
Competitor facts are checked against public sources. Prices and features move, so we re-verify before each publish. Where a competitor is the better fit, every page says so.
A little local pride first, because it's earned. Simple Analytics is built in the Netherlands, the same corner of the map as us, by people who took privacy seriously back when most of the industry still treated it as an afterthought. It's cookieless, EU-hosted, refreshingly minimal, and it even has a friendly AI chat for asking questions of your data. It does what it says on the tin, and it does it well.
So if you've been weighing Simple Analytics, you have good taste. Let's talk about where Voris fits next to it.
Where Voris is different
Three differences are worth your attention.
The privacy posture is stricter in one specific way. Simple Analytics is careful with IP addresses and anonymizes them within a day. Voris takes a slightly different route: IPs are never stored at all. We use the address for a moment to derive rough location, and then it's gone, with nothing to anonymize later because nothing was kept. It's a small distinction on paper and a meaningful one in principle.
The depth is a spectrum, not a fixed point. Simple Analytics is, very intentionally, simple. That's the whole promise, and it's a good one. Voris is built around privacy modes, so a site can stay perfectly minimal and aggregated when that's all you want, then grow into session-level and eventually first-party product analytics for signed-in users, without leaving the tool or abandoning the privacy-first principles you started with. You also get finer control by region, applying different privacy approaches to different markets rather than one setting for the whole world.
The view of the future is different. Both tools have leaned into AI, but in different directions. Simple Analytics offers an AI chat to help you read your numbers. Voris ships AI visibility, which is less about chatting with your data and more about a new question entirely: how much of your traffic is AI agents rather than people, and which AI assistants are sending you real visitors who convert. It's live on every plan, and it's aimed squarely at the shift that's already underway in how people and machines find websites.
When Simple Analytics is the better choice
If your need is genuinely simple and you want it to stay that way forever, Simple Analytics' focus is a gift, and you may find Voris's growth path to be more than you'll ever use. If their AI chat is exactly the way you like to explore data, that's a real and specific strength worth choosing for. There's no shame in picking the tool that fits the job precisely.
Who should choose Voris
Voris is for the privacy-first team that wants the same clean, banner-free start, but suspects they'll want more before long. You want the option of sessions, funnels, and product analytics down the road. You'd like your privacy approach to flex by region. And you're curious, maybe more than curious, about the AI traffic already arriving at your site and what it means for how you'll be found next year.
If you want minimal today with serious room to grow tomorrow, all without compromising on privacy, that's the Voris sweet spot.
