About Aptabase

Aptabase is a small analytics service for app developers who want usage numbers without tracking people. It collects anonymous events and sessions with no device identifiers, so in most cases you need no consent banner, and shows them on a straightforward dashboard of sessions, events, versions, countries and platforms. Its SDKs cover an unusually wide set of app frameworks: Swift, Android, Flutter, React Native, NativeScript, Electron, Tauri, .NET MAUI and web frameworks, which makes it popular with indie developers of desktop and cross-platform apps. The project is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted; the hosted service has a free tier with a monthly event allowance and paid tiers above it, with EU or US data residency. It deliberately leaves out funnels, user-level journeys and replay, so it is a poor fit if you need detailed product analysis. Dashboards run in the browser.

Best for: Indie app developers wanting anonymous usage stats without consent banners.
