A free Plausible alternative that runs in your Cloudflare account
Like Plausible, clx counts visits without cookies. Unlike it, clx is free, its counter is a snippet under 600 bytes served from your own domain, and the data sits in a D1 database in your own Cloudflare account — with no server to run.
100,000 pageviews a month, $ a month
Plausible billed monthly; yearly is ten months’ price. 100,000 views a month is about 3,300 a day, well within Cloudflare’s Workers Free.
The counter’s code, bytes
Uncompressed, measured the same way. Plausible’s script is a file of its own; clx’s snippet can sit inside the page.

When Plausible is the better choice
- Your site is not served by Cloudflare: clx counts only sites in a Cloudflare account you connect.
- You need funnels or ecommerce revenue: Plausible’s plans have them; clx counts views, visitors and their breakdowns.
- You need more than 400 days of history, or a managed service hosted in the EU.
