Moxel vs Plausible
Plausible is simpler than Moxel, open source, and hosted in the EU. Moxel goes further into what people do on the page: every form field, every checkout step, and a list of what to change.
THEIRS
Pick Plausible if
- You mostly want to know how many people came and where from. Plausible shows that on one clean page.
- You need your data hosted in the EU. Moxel does not offer a choice of region.
- You want open source, or to host it yourself. Plausible's Community Edition is free to self-host.
- You want to see which countries your visitors are in. Moxel does not record location.
- You want a tool with years of public track record. Moxel is new.
OURS
Pick Moxel if
- Your question is why people do not finish a form or a checkout.
- You want form tracking down to the field, without tagging each field yourself.
- You want funnels on the standard plan. Plausible keeps funnels for its Business plan.
- You want the next step spelled out, not only the numbers.

The part a traffic tool does not show.
A form sent is one number. This is everything that happened before it, field by field.
VISITOR
1 of 5
- Waiting for the first event.
Five visitors, three different fields. That is the pattern you would never see in a conversion rate.
NOT YET
What Moxel does not do.
- No session recordings and no heatmaps. Moxel counts what people do. It does not film the screen.
- No visitor locations. Country, region and city are not recorded.
- Returning visitors only within one week. The code that tells people apart resets every Monday, so someone who comes back next week looks new.
- No choice of hosting region, and no EU-only hosting.
- No free plan after the 30-day trial.
BOTH
Can I use Moxel and Plausible together?
